Ewok's is Dumb

It is my opinion that, evolutionarily, the Ewok species would have been taken out of the gene pool almost as soon as it entered. Aside from a tendency to worship shiny objects (which is a trait that has survived predominately in the ADD population), the species has no positive genetic traits which would promote it's survival. They are two feet tall, have no knees, and are most likely highly flammable (judging from their appearance). They are completely ignorant to technology(the helmet, for example), and have no apparent scientific community(as can been seen in their use of the "poke it with a stick" method of trauma assessment). So unless the Ewok evolved on a planet where the most dangerous predator was a bunny(which they didn't, since they demonstrate an inherent fear of anything larger than themselves) they would be a severely challenged species.

This is just another example of something that could have been really cool, yet hit a major road block from idea to implementation. Should have used the wookies man...and someone should have informed Harrison Ford that the pimp coat was not the best costume choice for those scenes...
