I think a great way to make the Ewoks more fierce seeming would be the simple addition of a shot of a pile of empty, broken Stormtrooper armor, that Han looks over and sees as he's hanging upside down about to be cooked. It implies the Ewoks have been killing Imperials for a while, and makes them scarier.

Say I could score a few armor suits, and perhaps made a set of some sort to match the Ewok village.

How could I film these, and have that image be anywhere near the necessary quality to be seeminglessly inserted into ROTJ? I'm just a simple man.

I just found this proving that outside our happy throng people have similar ideas :

I would just stick with a few, maybe one or two ideas(stormie helmet on trap, rusted out walker, etc) to bring the idea that a state of war exists. It's quick, makes the point, but doesn't belabor it.

Lucas has often been quoted as saying that the Endor battle was a chance to reflect Vietnam and create his own Apocalypse Now-lite battle.

If you remember the latter film, it had planes on fire in trees, burning munitions, etc. I think a burned out walker or some kinda symbol of the empire, maybe next to a burned out village, would drive that point home.
