The Ewoks are vicious little bastards. And they weren't even winning until Chewie took over said AT-ST and blew up other AT-STs and blasting the Imperial troops.
Go re-watch. There is a definate correlation bewteen the two.
Plus, let's not forget when Palpatine got whacked and, according to Grand Admiral Thrawn in Heir to the Empire it caused a massive detrimintal effect to the fighting quality of the Imperial Troops. |
First of all, while the battle "turns" after Chewie takes the AT-ST. the bears take out 2 AT-ST's with logs, while Chewie takes out only one.
NOw, why does an Elite legion have only 4 or 5 At-ST's, specially if their armor is so pityfull that two logs thrown from each side can squash the armor like an aluminum can? Oh, and what happened with the AT-AT we see a few scene before? Imperial coordination must suck eggs if they could not bring it into battle.
Then take their piss poor tactics-oh my, attacked by stone age bears 3 feet tall they rush INTO the forest, as opposed to, I don't know, staying in the clearing and laying waste to the nearby forest with their firepower. Supposedly according to Kuchinich, blasters are as strong as phasers-well, phasers on full power owuld have had no problem laying waste to a fair cordon around the clearing, creating a nice safe kill zone and protecting the power generator.

Fighting in a forest does not make it a guerrilla battle-there were pitched battles (which is the correct term) in forests in the US Civil War. Guerrilla warfare speaks of small bands of insurgents attacking small bands of regularly superior forces and wearing them down. This was not that, but a pitched battle between stone age 3 foot tall bears and an elite legion.

Obviously it wasn't, if there were reinforcements for the base to send out when Solo called. |
HELLO! Those were not forces form the legion, but other forces-garrison forces. The number of men was small-but of course, so was the tiny legion.

Why the hell would the Imperials expect a battle, especially one in which air support would be useful? They're in a jungle. |
1. Why would the empire station and entire elite legion? They KNEW a batlte was coming-that is the point of the movie!
2. If this generator is so important, put some damned backup.

How would higher power settings have changed it? |
I don't know-bear hinds behind tree-tree get vaporized-bear has lost his coverage and shileding, bear dies.

Actually, no, according to the literature the legs actually make it able to traverse more varied terrain than wheeled or tracked vehicles. Plus, it's just a glorified APC. |
THEY HAVE HOVERCRAFT!!!!! If some small farmer on a desert world can afford a hover vehicle, you would think the imperials could as well.
The literature is bunk- mobility is part of a trinity-any design feature created for mobility that makes a huge and expsinve vehicle extremely vulnerable is a BAD trade-off.

Actually, they can't vaporise them. A phaser disrupts the "nuclear binding forces" and creates chain reaction effect, causing more damage to matter than from the actual energy of the beam. Consequently, their effectiveness is largely dependent upon the material being hit with the phaser, and they derive none of this additional power when attacking shields. (As a side note, even if Borg soldiers could shield against blasterfire, it would be far more effective than phasers against the Borg because blasterfire does damage through the energy of the shot and is thus not material-dependent). |
1. Given that Imperial Armor is made of plastic and aluminum, I don't think this would not be much of a problem.
2. Blasters can;t do much against freaking WOOD! For gods sake, the imperial forces could not even create any shrapnel! At least phasers would have destroyed all the organic materials artound, hence leveling the forest, hence vaporizing the stone age 3 foot tall teddy bears.
