In ROTJ, can we please get rid of all the shots where we see Ewok arrows going right through Stormtrooper armor? I know that the armor doesn't have a particularly good reputation for durability in the movies, but I always felt like seeing it punctured by arrows was way too much. Overall, I'd like to see the Imperials on Endor being much more of a threat, and the Ewoks' tactics against them being much less effective. In terms of believability, at best I see the Ewoks being a nuisance that acts as a diversion for the Rebel commandos, but not an actual threat to the imperial forces.

I agree with making the stormies(the "best troops") more of a threat and the initial ewok attack catching them by surprise, only to have the stormies counterattack and chase the ewoks into the forest

But I disagree with not having the ewoks be effective at the end. That would undermine the whole theme of technology losing out against the low-tech ewoks.

But what needs to happen is more tactical attacks by the ewoks once the stormies are deep in the forest. Like the ewoks expected them to chase them and then they go into the forest and all hell breaks loose as far as catapults, gliders, and rocks and slingshots.
