TV's Frink said:

ROTJ has many great scenes/moments that rivals/surpass things in the previous two films. I think those who complain about ROTJ usually completely ignore them and go on about irrelevant stuff (ewoks etc.)

The Ewoks are both annoying and relevant.

Frink brings up an excellent point. Yes - you read that correctly - I left off TV's.

;-)

The Ewoks are a huge part of the story, the film, and Lucas' use of potential toy sales to generate characters. They are far from irrelevant.

Personally, they hold a particular relevance because they were the breaking point which pushed me to consider leaving the theater (I didn't). They also helped sever my following of the franchise and set me on my current course. The sister fix for George's writer's block and the unmasking of Vader also contributed.
