I say get rid of the tree traps and replace them with pits and the like. Trees can still be a factor - Scout Walker steps into a pit; as Scout Walker's leg sinks down halfway, ground starts to cave ala a sinkhole; as the rest sinks in, the trees on either side topple over on top of the SW, crushing and blowing it up.
I still say give the Ewoks something explosive to account for getting through the Stormtrooper armor - be it explosive arrow heads and bolas. Maybe even having a scene where one Ewok raises his hand and we see retractable claws pop out and THEN he jumps on top of the Stormtrooper, followed by other Ewoks. Blood wouldn't have to be shown, though some nice tearing and squishing sounds could be used ala AMERICAN WEREWOLF or something to get the idea across. Remember that Koalas are pretty damn cute too, but have sharp claws for climbing trees and can get pretty pissed off.The idea is that these are primitive creatures fighting advanced tech. Sticks and stones versus hi-tech. That was the whole point Lucas went with them instead of the original Wookies.
Just because the Ewoks are supposed to be a primitive tribe doesn't mean they can't improvise or use their intelligence to work around the technology of the Empire. Also keep in mind that Lucas was originally set to direct APOCALYPSE NOW (until he got the go-ahead to do STAR WARS) and it is more or less his general ideas for AN working their way into STAR WARS - so the corollary can also be the Vietnamese versus the American army/ Mujahadeen versus the Russians/ Partisans versus the Nazis.
There also has to be a realistic means of the Ewoks being able to defeat the Empire - just having bows and arrows wouldn't be enough. There would have to be something that gives the Ewoks simply the ability to win.I say they should use the imperials weapons against them. Give a ewok a stormtrooper blaster. Come on, I watched discovery channel the other day and saw an African tribe with uzis.
Why even stop there? I say give a good number of Ewoks not just simply Stormtrooper blasters, but maybe different kinds of blasters as if they have also killed smugglers or others who may have landed on Endor and said Ewoks killed them and scavenged what was left. I say if the Ewoks with blasters concept is to be used however way it is, would the blasters have ornaments on them and be painted (ie "natived up")?
So one should add things like this to spice it up?-->
