I still don't like them, and mainly I look back on what this marketing director had to deal with, navigating the corporate politics of her job, her direct boss, and all the "suits" as Hasbro in New York, all while having to put up with fan-boys who couldn't push the pause button on their fandom for a few seconds to understand that this person was trying to bond with them and understand them. This was 20 years ago and sadly I don't think things have changed much. Martin R.

The only good ewok is one that's been filleted and barbecued, if you ask me. My argument was to people who would say that an ewok jedi is a ridiculous concept.

It's really no different than playing a Dwarf wizard of a halfling barbarian. <br /><br />I personally can't stand Ewoks, however. They just always seemed like little Teddy Ruxpin wanna-bes. But that's just me. Just sayin'...Martin R.
