My wife and I watched the clip of Billy Dee on Dancing with the Stars. I'd never been more embarrassed, but then it cut to Ewoks in the audience cheering him on and I thought I'd die of shame.

I'm not sure this is the first ABC/Disney/Star Wars crossover, but it's not a good start.

Those guys were too damned tall to be Ewoks. >_<

If Star Wars could feature tall Jawas, some silly reality TV show can feature tall Ewoks. =P

 It's specifically mentioned in Classic Creatures when they were casting the Ewoks, they actually rejected some little people for being too tall. I've seen photos of shorter Ewoks in the theme parks.

Imagine if they had a Vader who was too short. Or a Chewie...

Those drunk horny Ewoks on the Today show a few years back were the right height. ;)

Lucasfilm has always been consistent about having the Star Wars characters look right in public appearances, and for Disney, this was a little sloppy.
