I will make the trip and spend the dough to see this one. I have seen them all and unlike lots of folks here and geeks on the interwebs, I thought they were all terrific. Because I don't expect much except high fantasy, escapism and bad acting. It has always been that way and it's great fun.
I am with you, I have never understood why Jar Jar annoyed people but the Ewoks didn’t. Both were silly in the same way to me.

Yep. Way back in 1977, when my late father and I went and saw the original, he commented that it reminded him of ‘Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe’ and other sci-fi Saturday matinee serials.
And let’s face it.....none of those films could exactly be considered masterpieces of directing, with subtly nuanced dialogue and stunning cinematography. They were fun....and that’s what it’s all about.
So yeah; I’ll be there opening day.
