Episode 237 - Ewok Month / Saga Year - RETURN OF THE JEDI and Dare To Be Cute Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

In this final week of Ewok Movie Month, we're taking back to where it all began with Return of the Jedi and the creation of the Ewoks. With just about everyone telling George Lucas that little teddy bear creatures saving the Rebel Alliance was a bad idea, he never backed down and he DARED TO BE CUTE. But why does cute feel so at home in Star Wars? Like the Ewoks, is there a deeper meaning for the addition of the cute? What would ROTJ be like without Ewoks and why did everyone, including toy makers think they would ruin Star Wars? It's an Ewok Month / Saga Year crossover event and it's the epic conclusion to a great month of Ewok madness! So, join that teddy bear picnic, dare to be cute and celebrate the love with BLAST POINTS! JOIN THE BLAST POINTS ARMY and SUPPORT BLAST POINTS ON PATREON! BLAST POINTS Q&A EPISODE!
