I'd like him a lot better simmered in a stew! If the head is flayed carefully, one might even get a nice bowling-bowl carrier out of it. Lucas killed his own franchise in an effort to sell toys (his contracts gave him massive chunks of Hasbro and one of the other biggies). I can't think of any other logical reason to include gratingly stupid and/or cute critters in a space opera. Mind you, turning a wonderfully-envisioned nine episode grand adventure and struggle for human freedom into a sodden and ugly 6-feature biopic of an angry twerp would have destroyed the franchise anyway... but walking toys just rub the salt deeper into the wound.
