Who isn't big on Ewoks?!? I always assumed they were everyone's favorite characters from Star Wars! (Like mine) ;-)

Yeah they were some of my favorite characters as well. Never knew there was so much dislike for them.

I hate the Ewoks, and the Gungans

(they are like some hairy jar jar binks)

Wow, I didn't know people disliked anything in Star Wars. Just imagine the amount of discussion that will happen if LEGO decides to come out with a 2000+ piece UCS Ewok set, similar to the R2D2 one. I just hope that day comes so I can see the madness. 

For all the Ewok haters....

For all the Ewok lovers....

Haha... sometimes I forget that this film exists (though I've seen it as a kid... I don't remember anything of it haha).

Mais sans ST... c'est nul! :-P Guess I need to work harder on my french to enjoy this lovely song to its fullest!

But it's nice that those courageous Ewoks risk everything for those random kids.

For all the Ewok haters....

Is that the same song (in another version) that is played at Jabbas place? It somehow sounds familiar.

It's too early in the morning for sarcasm ;)

Why I hate ewoks? Because the original plan was ferocious wookies. But Lucas has already gone nuts by the RotJ, he wanted content for little children. 

Oh, and I want to see what an UCS Jar Jar bust would do. The madness.

If I'm not mistaking Lucas added ewoks because of his own child, so he will be able to enjoy one of daddy's movies and not have to wait to be a kid/teenager to enjoy it...

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think the EV will outperform the Death Star in the long run. Both are "play sets", but the EV displays better IMO. My son has both in our personal collection, and the EV just looks better on display. The DS looks like a big gray golf ball, and doesn't really catch the eye the way EV does. EV has a ton of figs, just like the DS, and portrays an iconic scene from the OT. I know a lot of people aren't big on the ewoks, but the scenes from Endor were and still are some of my favorites from ROTJ. So far I only have two EV, and zero DS. I'm targeting ten EV before it's all said and done.

I have both the DS and EV on display in my house and when guests come by the first thing they all go look at is the EV - I've gotten many more compliments on it than any other displayed SW set I own.

EDIT: random side note: George Lucas' daughter Amanda and I were on the same little league team as kids sometime between 1988-1991 and he used to come watch our baseball games.

I still prefer Ewoks over the weak and not funny battle droids the Trade Federation created.  Talk about cost cutting measures!!!

Touche. Battle robots that can be scared. Did they program fear into them on purpose? Even my 7 year old nephew finds that dumb. 

Too much stupid going in the NT. Remember the opening battle of RotS? The little droids that attach themselves to the starfighters and begin to CLAW them. I couldn't believe it. Why don't they explode instead? I get it that SW is not supposed to be entirely serious, but there is a limit where you just can not be immersed because of the idiocy.

I didn't hate Ewoks before I watched that video, but I do now.  LOL

I think the Ewok Village is a winner.  I have built it and even though it is a playset, it has a high display quality to it.

Great set.  I even like the Ewok minifigures.  They are cute.  But the ones in that video need to be sliced and diced by a light saber.  LOL

For all the Ewok lovers....

I have no idea what she is singing but I love hearing her say it. Now I do remember of that Ewoks film but not much about what happened. I wonder if it's considered canon or not.

They're probably a notch above the Holiday Special but below the EU material, which Disney now considers non-canon.

Having ordered this the other day and not paying much attention to it, I'm looking at the box this morning, and possibly the most prominent picture is Yoda??? Why is he on the box, yet has nothing to do with the set?

All Star Wars sets released in 2013 had the Yoda in the upper right corner.  2014 sets have Darth Vader.

That makes sense.
