I never thought I'd say this... but that actually seems like a more interesting version.

Wasn't there an Ewok movie that had people from Earth (and apparently from the future)?

I understood your meaning, the problem is that, as the initial objection was worded, it provided an excellent example of what the video was describing as a "straw man" argument.
