Personally, I don't mind Ewoks. Never realized people hated hem till I joined OT.com, Its always been part of the movie that i love. But I understand now the "my best troops" being wiped out by them. I would just add more extras, rebels and troopers having shootouts.
Maybe even some other Hover vehicles/troop carriers, and that weird Rebel ship or weapon that was on the front cover of one of the kenner figure packets in the 80s with rebels sat around it, never saw it in the movie though. Know the one?
Also, the added bonus of adding a few extras, is they can deliver new lines of dialogue, such as "We need the Ewoks to create a diversion" maybe to the new c3p0 extra, who would then be assumed to pass on that message. Problem solved, that way the Ewoks are just helping out the battle not winning it.
Cutting out the Ewoks would ruin our memories of the film too much, it would be like cutting out the Jawas from ANH, (which to me Ewoks/Jawas are on the same level. I see them as Tribal pigmies that hunt and eat people, not cute Teddy bears. Some of their dialogue I like too, where its taken from real tribal talking. But theres a few weird lines that sound like English "this guys wise" is one such line.
And someone mentioned in another thread, remove the silly logs roll down hill and trip over the scout walker. Sacrilage! These big layed out traps i always assume were to take down giant beasts, such as that big wart-hog looking beast from the Ewok Adventure movie. (Perhaps that hunt could be added into ROTJR before the Empire make their appearance. Or maybe not, just a thought.
Main changes I'd like to see to this film are some of the atrocities of the blu-ray. The big grey Matte hexagon that is around the DeathStar in a few shots. The Matte blur around the speeder bikes, which I can slightly forgive as forcefield to stop twigs getting in the riders eyes. Lose the new song in Jabbas Palace and revert to the original. Vaders new Nooooo Noooooooo! Sebulba coming back from a night piss in Jabbas Palace.
And ideally, lose the beak that was added to the Sarlac. (though i kinda got used to it now, may seem bare without it. Unless something different was added, maybe something like those maggot things in King Kong?That is all.
Found the vehicle i meant... Rebel Endor ranger..

could perhaps even get this toy and bluscreen it into a shot, maybe have it take down a scout walker?
even as a distance vehicle.
