Except for the whole "Ewok" thingy, and George Lucas' vision of them being like the Viet Cong.
Never mind - brain in neutral - Ewoks were in ROTJ - not Empire. Sorry, mea culpa. Turning in my nerd card.
yes....Empire, #5, was the darkest and because of that the best....
number 4 was just fantastic.... the beginning of #6 was great, then went right downhill
1,2, were just awful....but like 5, I like #3 for its darkness....
and the Ewoks and Jar jar tie for worst species...and Jar jar wins for worst character....
