and yes as has ben said many times the Ewoks do not defeat the Emperor's best troops, the Rebels best troops do that. The Ewoks merely get massacred causing a diversion.

Precisely.

I'll reiterate what I said:

defeat of some of, what are supposed to be, the Empire's best forces

The main problem here, like Bingo said, is that the Ewoks are played for laughs. And then they start killing stormtroopers. I tell myself that it's really the Rebel troops doing all the heavy lifting in the battle when I watch the movie, but the sad part is the majority of the battle is devoted to showing the Ewoks.

I'd like to state again that I'm someone who loves ROTJ, despite it's flaws. But I am willing to admit that it does have flaws.
