I don’t mind the Ewoks, but there is so much more I don’t like in Jedi.

First though, the space battle outside the Death Star is fantastic, The Luke/Vader battle is really well done, and you feel Luke’s belief and his choices, and when he goes batshit protecting Leia, it is very moving, and also scary as his love/protection of her might lead to him embracing the dark side.

The speeder bike sequence is also absolutely wonderful.

On the downside though, the story is tired, another death star with another ‘flaw’ that means it can be taken down with a single shot. Also, the Max Rebo band is so very poorly executed.
A blue elephant that is clearly made of foam rubber, a lead singer that couldn’t possibly stand on those legs. The character designs are awful, and they are poorly executed, and the music is painful. I didn’t think it could be worse until the Special Edition, and my god, it got so much worse.

Jedi is so much wasted opportunity. The ‘comical’ death of Boba Fett was such a waste of potential for that character. Leia is wasted in the film, she could have had a much wider role, but had little to do in the movie.

The rest is better summed up here:

I’m okay with the Ewoks, I think there could have been better choices, but it is the weakest in the trilogy for me.
