I know what you're thinking and yes....it's a respect blog for Ewoks. It's come to my attention that people just judge them as being weak and innocent just from their mere appearance, the quote "don't judge a book by its cover" really applies to Ewoks here. This blog will show that Ewoks are cunning, fierce and strong fighters and by the end of this blog, I'm sure to have changed a lot of minds on the capabilities of the Ewok...so let us begin!
Note: Didn't include ROTJ movie gifs, cause those are kinda obvious to everyone, this is new info for all.

Sourcebook/Guide Quotes
Intelligent, furred bipdeals standing at one meter tall, they are brave, suspicious and alert. Although technologically primitive, Ewoks are clever and inventive. They are experts at creating tools, weapons, traps and other contraptions, using wood, cloth, vines and stone. They can even learn to operate some machines and fire blasters, but they are more proficent by far with their traditional bows and slings.

I've seen the holo-thrillers, and those directors should admit they're paid to tell New Republic lies. They make those things- those Ewoks- look cute, like stuffed toys. I was there, Miss Towani. They weren't anything close to cute.
The first wave of troopers died with arrows through the gaps of their armor. The indigenes were primitive, but later I read about the bows they'd used, how they were engineered for immense leverage. I saw troopers falling with arrows that had gone completely through their throats. They were the lucky ones- some of our men took what looked like minor wounds, and minutes later they were clawing their helmets off and gasping for air. The abos had dipped their arrows in some kind of nerve toxin that paralyzed every muscle in the body. Troopers who got hit suffocated because their lungs wouldn't work. I saw dying men staring at the sun, trying to blink.
Some of our men chased the indigenes into the woods and fell into hidden pits lined with stakes fixed in the ground. Scout Troopers flew into trip wires that broke their necks. Elsewhere the indigenes overpowered troopers through sheer numbers, holding them down until they got their helmets off and other abos could kill them with stone axes and knives made of volcanic glass.
And every time one of our men fell, the indigenes had another blaster. They knew every tree and rock, and they picked us off one by one.
You look like you don't believe me, but I was there. I saw what those Ewoks did. The historians love to talk about alleged Imperial atrocities, but what about what I saw on the Forest Moon? They slaughtered us like animals, Miss Towani. Shouldn't that count as an atrocity?
- Taken from Hume Tarl, survivor of the Battle of Endor
An interview from a survivor of Endor, the Ewok bows were designed around immense leverage, arrows getting shot through Stormtrooper necks, said arrows even minor wounding were coated in a nerve toxin, paralyzing their bodies and suffocating because their lungs wouldn't work.
They set traps such as pit falls with stakes in the ground, trip wires which broke Scout Trooper necks, overpowering troopers with sheer numbers, taking their helmets off and bashing their heads with axes made of stone and knives made of volcanic glass.
They knew every tree and every rock, picking them off.
