As far as the "Ewok Battle" goes, I do recall a line in a Timothy Zhan novel (Sorry can't remember which) where... someone (sorry bad momory again) meets a race of very skilled assassins. This person (Luke? Or was it Leia) is considering the potential of enlisting these creatures, and they compare them to the Ewoks... anyhow, long story short, they recall that the only reason the Ewoks succeeded in their battle was through sheer numbers, and not any amount of skill whatsoever. Which is fair enough I guess.

Personally I preffered the first Xmen to the second one :-)
