I liked the first Star Wars. The second was a bit lame (the one with the pant-less teddy bears). Stopped watching after that.
I think everyone liked the first Star Wars, after that they get kind of lame.
The pantless teddy bears was the third movie (after "Empire Strikes back") and yes, you did the right thing. The pantless teddy bears is where the franchise jumped the shark. "Star Wars" just proceeded to get stupider and stupider with each iteration. It became so bad that Mr. Plinkett's reviews were actually far more entertaining than the horrible movies.
The teddy bears Star Wars was the third movie and the end of the original series. It ended with the Jedi winning.
The Ewoks were in the third installment. Either you skipped what is widely regarded as the Best of the first three, or you're a non-viewer working from others' reviews.
