IMHO, most (but not quite all) of what Lucas has done since the original Star Wars trilogy belongs on the Saturday morning television cartoon lineup.  And you're right: he was already displaying unfortunate inclinations in that direction even back in the day -- the Ewoks were a nice, saccharin overdose of cute.

I suppose that it was a similar impulse which inspired NASA scientists to give names like "Scooby Doo" to the first dusty rocks which were found by the Mars rover.

But then again: if the original Star Wars trilogy hadn't been infused with "cute", then the series might not have been nearly as popular as it was, either.  "Serious" scifi usually tends to appeal to a niche audience.
