Han shoots first. There IS no other alternative.
I loved the Ewoks when I was 12, and I love the ewoks now that I'm in my 30's. The "Viet Nam" allegory, I'll leave others to decide - it could just as easily be an American Revolutionary War allegory, or a Soviet Union/Afghanistan allegory, or what have you. The point is, like one person (Larry Kasdan?) made in Empire of Dreams: Superior technology is no match for a people whose determination and heart is in a cause. The Ewoks were there for kids to like, for sure, but they also reminded us, just like the rag-tag pilots of A New Hope, of the determination of the common man to rise up against tyranny, no matter the cost. If it was "just for the kiddies," they would have left out the scenes where Ewoks fought and died (especially the one where one Ewok cries for another who died - that one still gives my heart-strings a little tug 20 years later).

Plus, man-eating teddy bears are jut kewl.
People always forget the man-eating part.

I saw Return of the Jedi on DVD last night. It's been a while since I last saw it, so I had a hard time telling what was new.
The lightsabers look much better, that's for sure. I also thought they did a good job putting Hayden in at the end.
*shrug* I guess I'm not a huge purist, but I liked it.

You're a Purist if you want Han to shoot first.
