Cheesy comedy--including robot slapstick--is all throughout Star Wars; shall we eliminate it all? I think that keeping the series consistant is in order, and there is a certain childlike quality to its cheesy, light-hearted humor. That is unless we wish to digitally remove all of the ewoks and jar-jar esque creatures so that a bunch of fan-boys can pretend that Star Wars isn't cheesy. Celebrate its cheesy-ness I say.

Actually its isn't all throughout Star Wars. If you look at the OUT it had moments of slapstick but they were very few and spaced very far apart and worked well. Only when the SE's & then the PT came out did the slapstick become more prominent and began to spoil things. They approach Mos Eisley, which is supposed to be a dangerous place, and all of a sudden you have 2 new slapstick scenes ( robot droid & the swoop bike) so close together it takes away that sense of danger. These were unnecessary editions that seem to have been added as a shape of things to come with the PT. When i get around to doing the PT (probably when i'm about 80. lol) Most of the slapstick will be gone so it falls in line with the OT.
