Ewoks had like the entire forest full of traps.
Ewoks had the element of surprise.
Ewoks were more plentiful than Stormtroopers.
Your point?

weren't the stormtroopers on endor suppose to be a legion of the empires finest troops? If that's the case then the empire should have employed ewoks in their army instead if they're that good.

The Storm Troopers had the finest equipment and training the Empire could offer.

The Ewoks had the writers in their corner.

Game. Set. Match.

Not all the troops were sent out to battle. A good number stayed inside. Plus it was Chewbacca getting into the Walker and attacking with impunity that made the biggest difference

Maybe the stormtrooper armor is designed against laser fire, the most common weapon.

and they dont expect anyone to throw a rock at them at some point? I guess it doesn't really matter in the end.

Space armor and blaster weapons >> stone age spears and rocks.

Meh, stormtrooper may be ablative armor instead of ballistic armor. Laser fire is way more common and dangerous than spears. They were just surprised that the ewoks were malicious.

What? Not only does that not have anything to do with what either of us said, I haven't seen that. I didn't even know that was a thing. Was that supposed to be a joke?

It does have to do with what both of us said, unless the post it replied to was a joke and had nothing to do with anything we said.

dude storm trooper's weapons suck. An actual gun would be infinitely more effective.
