10 Worst Star Wars Characters

10. The Ewoks

Endor. Han, Chewie, Luke and the Droids are in the midst of a dense forrest. Suddenly, they are ensnared in a primitive net trap, hoisted high above the ground! Freeing themselves from the netting, they suddenly realise... they are not alone. The shrubbery begins to move, the hunter about to reveal themselves. The tension mounts. What horrid creature is about to threaten the heroes? Oh look - it's Paddington Bear and his friends. Ohhkay then. The Ewoks were viewed as one of the few mis-steps George Lucas took during his reign as "King of Everything", starting in 1977 and ending with Howard the Duck. Small, furry, painfully cute, they were more akin to a child's sleep friend than a predatory hunter. Armed only with spears, this conglomeration of teddy bears still somehow managed to imprison an 8 foot tall Wookiee, a hardened smuggler carrying a blaster and a Jedi Knight. Sounds legit. While they proved to be somewhat of a diversion from the seriousness of the ultimate battle between The Rebellion and The Empire, people took umbridge with the fact that these diminutive puff balls not only took on, but actually defeated many of the Emperor's crack Stormtroopers. While some people still love the little furballs, it seems that perhaps more don't, thus earning them a place on this list.

A self professed Stephen King/Star Wars geek and pop culture neophyte, Scott tends to spend much of his time alone pondering life's greatest mysteries.....he also depends heavily on his son Liam, a great sounding board, to set him straight on Star Wars issues and gives him advice on what EXACTLY he's doing wrong.
