The OT were kids movies made to be appreciated by adults. Jar Jar Binks and the other shit in the Phantom Menace was made to make adults puke. I don't know who AOTC and ROTS were made for. I can't understand anybody of any age liking that crap. Using it's-always-been-for-kids as an excuse for Jar Jar etc is bogus, because Jar Jar was for kids in an adults-stay-away sort of way, while the OT worked for adults. The ewoks stretched that, but they were way better than Jar Jar. They weren't just cute teddy bears. They were nasty little carnivores who wanted to eat Luke, Han and Chewie and had a real mean streak. As an adult I like them less than I did as a kid, but they don't ruin the film for me or anything. Whereas the ridiculous stuff in The Phantom Menace jars me out of the film. Jar Jar is for kids in a whole other way than the OT or even the ewoks.
