Essentially it points out that cute and adorable Ewoks don't match with the rest of the Original Trilogy. The same applies here, plus they remind of a smug from the original run but I can't remember who.

Also, prior to the decision being revealed, Anthony talked to members of the Expulsion team and they believed that PtE had beaten Expulsion, so I presume that they believe that spin around was outside of its circumference.
