Those who defend the battle usually say that the ewoks were loosing, that it was only Chewie stealing the scout walker that changed the course and brought the battle arround. Fair enough, but the movie does not convey this fact. Before that point, the movie shows plenty of ewoks ambushing storm troopers, but only a measly 1 ewok gets killed. Compare that to the novel, where the ewoks are almost slaughtered, but their great strenght in numbers assures that they keep on coming.

I'm not sure if and how Ady would do it, but ROTJ would benefit greatly from cutting the silliest, most unconvincing parts, and somehow add many more ewok causulties. Not that we need to linger on them, like with Corpsey (yes, that's his name apparantly), but just show it passing. How that would be done is another matter though.

Could you imagine a scene similar to SPARTACUS or GLORY, with droves of Ewok bodies piled all around?

I could see equating the Ewoks to how the Chinese fought in the Korean War: they would have three waves of soldiers attack the Americans. The first wave had no weapons; the second would carry the guns, but were ordered not to shoot; the third wave would pick up the guns from the dead second wave and overrun the American camps due to, by that time, the guns the Americans were shooting with were warping due to the constant firing and the barrels turning red hot.

Showing explosions with multiple Ewok bodies flying out of them or showing stormtroopers line up and fire a volley into a wave of Ewoks... ah, the possibilites....
