My friend and I were arguing over how easily the Ewoks were able to route professional stormtroopers, "Palpatine's best men." One part we disagreed on was how easily two large tree trunks took out an AT-ST. I understand it's a scout vehicle, but still, according to this source, they weigh 25 tons. Couldn't a AT-ST withstand the impact of two colliding trees? I'm pretty sure an Abrams tank could withstand that force no problem.

Apparently a redwood tree can weigh 4000 tons, so there's no doubt that a pair of them smashing into the sides of an AT-ST could destroy one.

The question you really need to be asking yourself is how Ewoks managed to rig up traps relying on such heavy trees--especially with such short notice.
