10 Star Wars Moments That Are Incredibly Stupid

4. The Ewoks Worship C-3PO As A God - Return Of The Jedi

Seriously, why would they worship 3PO? Because he€™s a droid? Look, these guys have been living on a planet full of machines, droids, etc. for years (all the time it must have taken to build that Death Star). How could they not have seen droids before? I actually don€™t mind the Ewoks in general, because I like the symbolism of indigenous peoples fending off technologically advanced invaders by turning the forest against them. The problem is their cheap representation as €œprimitive.€ They don€™t have a sophisticated culture: they€™re teddy bears. They have language, which implies intelligence, but they worship a prissy droid as a god. What the what?
