Relay-Version:version B 2.10 5/3/83; site harpo.UUCP Message-ID:<1569@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date:Tue, 24-May-83 23:43:00 EDT From: Lippard.DSOP at SYSTEM-M.PHOENIX.HONEYWELL (James J. Lippard) I saw a special premiere of this movie tonight, and I was disappointed. It seems with the success of E.T. they decided to make it as cute as they could, by introducing the furry little Ewoks. A lot of the special effects left a lot to be desired as well. The cycle speeders were sped up far too much to be realistic, and a lot of matte shots were too obviously phony (notably the desert sail barge scenes). There was an overabundance of muppets, and I was horrified at Jabba the Hutt's entertainment--an alien with a long snout (wearing lipstick) singing. Jabba's little pet, Sy Snootles (what kind of a stupid name is that?), reminded me of Wile E. Coyote. The ending of this trilogy does not make it worthwhile, this is by far the worst of the Star Wars films.

Lippard) One other thing I forgot to mention that was pretty bad was the way the Ewoks thought C-3PO was a god--reminiscent of "Gilligan's Island". "E.T. meets the muppets" describes this movie fairly well.
