Just put this in the OT deleted scenes discussion thread, but I want to include it hear, though it repeats an idea I'd already mentioned here before.

I've mentioned this in the ROTJ wishlist thread, but perhaps the Ewok attack could take place, the Rebels manage to push ahead into the bunker (it wouldn't be too hard to make Han look like he successfully hotwires the door), while the Ewoks distract Imperial troops. Footage from Battle for Endor could show more Ewok deaths. The Rebel commando team gets into the bunker, has their shootout, places their charges while the battle continues to rage outside. The generator control room is destroyed, and perhaps even small explosions shown on the dish signify it no longer works, though it wouldn't be as dramatic. Then the space battle continues with, "The shield is down!" My only question is how could you show the commandos escaping? Hmmm...maybe Han could still charge out of the bunker yelling, "Move!" with added laser fire going on behind him. After the generator blows (keep the whole big explosion in this scenario), one might see several storm troopers get caught in the blast, then show several scenes that were before removed of stormtroopers fleeing and being further ambushed by the Ewoks, and Chewie hijacks the AT-ST and begins his rampage. This might be hard to pull off as far as the emotional flow, but some good music changes might alter the lightheated fun feeling of beating the stormtroopers over the head with little rocks. It's far more believable to see Imperial troops being defeated when they are disorganized and panicked due to the loss of their shield generator.
Pardon the realtime brainstorming/typing. It seems like a worthy idea, and it incorporates and in fact heavily relies on the deleted bunker scene, so it still fits okay in this thread.
To expand upon the idea, and also repeating something I had mentioned before in this thread, showing the various Rebel pilots and Falcon gunners would expand the battle nicely (probably needing a few more ship shots, but I understand Adywan has plans for this, though that might take some waiting). With the expanded space battle, further attention could be taken off the Ewoks and leave more to the imagination about the struggle going on at the Battle of Shield Bunker Hill. The audience would surmise more death and carnage has taken place and more good guys fell by the way side. Besides, who wouldn't want to see a grander space battle? It seems many are disappointed that the final version simply wasn't big enough.
