Droids are alot less efficient then stormtroopers. Even then many gun guns die and they lost the battle until the ship was destroyed. The ewoks have no advanced technology. They also suck as warriors and constantly faulter. Despite this they defeat a huge army of stormtroopers with only a few of them died. It made the clones look like pussies. "Oh my God 3 foot teddy bears with sticks lets ignore our years of military training and advanced weapons and fall down" They also bring down a walker with logs. Too bad none of the rebals on Hoth didn't have logs it would have probably saved there bases from the walkers that advanced laser canons couldn't take down. The Empire is powerful enough to rule the galaxy but can't seem to build a targetting system that can hit a bear running at ten miles per hour. Ever hear of infared. Return of the Jedi is the only Star Wars flick where the odds don't make sense.
So sad that you preach the word of Lucas, yet don't understand his teachings. The fact that the Ewoks were primative was the freaking point. Lucas has constently stated that he wanted the battle to be a triumpth of nature over machine. Also, whether you wound up right or wrong doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't base fact on a rumour, no matter how reputable the site it's on is. Rick McCallum answered a question on the Hayden change with, "I don't even know where that comes from." The point is, no matter how good the source, it doesn't make it an irrefutable fact. It certainly doesn't give you the right to be a gloating ass when someone more magnanimous than you apoligizes either.
Also, not all stoormies are clones. The early ones sure, but after Palpatine took power, he instituted a draft. The idea that every troop in the Imperial army is a mindless clone is far stupider than "teddy bears" beating them.
