unles the Emperor greets each one individually and gives them a small business sized card with a Cody pic on it, and "You And You Alone Are Special, Tell No One Else"

Cute.

Don't forget that GL described stormtrooper armor as "fascist white."

Vietnam was a political defeat for the American forces, not a military one. The US Army/Navy/Air Force/Marines was never defeated. Even though the USAF did have some major problems tackling the NV air force, it had a lot to do with the USAF having a poor understanding of air-to-air combat and how it should take place, they did manage to solve this by 1971 (and two US pilots became aces -- one USAF and one USN) however the war was mostly over by then. Anyways, this is a different discussion for a different time.

The Ewoks had one small advantage on their hands, and that was surprise, but despite this early advantage, you can't expect them to hold their ground for too long. According to the novelization of ROTJ, the Ewoks did indeed suffer a huge deal of casualities during the battle, but it's much easier to write things down than make a movie out of the concept.

One thing that would have interested me in the whole scene is showing the Rebel commando team (remember those cameoflaged soldiers?) fighting the Imperials, there was only one scene of them that had a rebel take cover from some shots, and they were conviently left out of the remainder of the battle.

Yeah I've always noticed that too when watching the movie. You see the one guy ducking behind that round thing on the ground and that's it. The commandos should have been helping the Ewoks co-ordinate assualts and what not - they would know more about the Walkers and Stormtrooper weaknesses more than the Ewoks. It would be cool seeing a few glimpses of the Commandos operating almost like Green Beret's do with indigenous forces in real life.

We got the cute Leia scene. Awww. And "Threepio" handled the ewoks didn't he? Dear oh dear. Oh right- Battle scenes. Han and Leia and the bank machine comedy routine. The Imperial with the gun, whom Han somehow takes by surprise. Chewie scores a walker likewise. Come to think of it, Han did draft a plan earlier. Real nice-like.

Seriously, if anyone had to interact and save the day, it had to be our heroes. Nice commandos can salute (and maybe make the celebration reel).

You're right Paladin- I'd forgotten how interesting those troops were. The less. You know.

Jawa versus Ewok, who would win?

Umm...seriously?

Who cares, so long as they all DIE?

It would be just like that scene from Braveheart where the Irish troops are sent in to fight the Scots.

They charge at each other with war whoops and red-eyed rage, brandishing their weapons... the two groups are about to clash and then suddenly, they break into a normal pace and start saying hello to each other (or as they say in their language "ootini!!") and slapping each other on the back, shaking paws/pands, etc.
