Alright, so the Ewoks are cute and all, but there's one very legitimate reason to dislike them: they were only put in the movie to sell merchandise and make the film more appealing to children.

It worked like a charm, even though this portion of the film feels massively out-of-place, especially when the diminutive little critters start wrecking Stormtroopers left and right.

It's just too silly, even for the rather liberal standards of this franchise, and helps contribute to ensuring Return of the Jedi is easily the weakest of the original trilogy movies.

Hell, the Ewoks are so loathed by so many fans that there are fan edits of the movie out there that remove them entirely.
