It'd be nice if they could be excised from the film, but since they can't, yeah, make them somehow turn a little more vicious. At the same time, the Stormtroopers go out like a bunch of pussies and are taken down WAY too easily, so I don't know how that could be fixed. The "battle" as it is now is a joke.

It would also be great if an establishing shot could be added that shows some Rebel commandos helping the Ewoks build and load their traps. Those logs and rocks didn't load themselves. Perhaps the Ewoks were already hard at work building the traps before the Rebels arrived, but it would add to the story to show them working together. Just a thought.
