Please, Ewoks have sticks and rocks. Which would you bet on as a weapon, an Everlasting Gobstopper, or a same sized rock? Tie a chain around it, and an Everlasting Gobstopper is a pretty effective mace. Wonka was a chocolatier, he didn't create the technology. It was the multitalented Oompa Loompa who built the Great Glass Elevator. And it can go into space . That, my friends, is a rocket, and where there is a rocket, there are bombs. There are soda powered cars/tanks. Ewoks think a robot is a god, how are they going to react to a giant tank car that spews bubbles everywhere? That is a weapon of terror. They have access to chemicals to inflate and change the color of the enemy. That would quickly debilitate an advancing army. What would they do then? Roll? If they can put the chemical that changes color, size and shape into a gum, what's to stop them from putting it in the enemies water supply? Or aerosolizing it and spraying it over the enemy?
Fizzy lifting drinks, for children. Really? That's a lawsuit waiting to happen. It's for paratroopers. No need for planes. Send 'em up and burp 'am down.
And geese that lay Golden Eggs. That's financing for weapons development and technology. Yes, the sort of technology that allows a soldier to be sent over the airwaves into people's homes . They can hop out on their own, Mike TV showed that. That technology wasn't developed to send candy bars. What would that cost, sending a giant candy bar to have it shrink into standard candy bar size ? Not even King size, but regular. There you are, sitting at home, watching t.v., when the program stops, and your living room is over run by mini Oompa Loompas attacking you at the ankles with Everlasting Gobstopper on chains. Worse yet, they could come in at night while you are sleeping, slip the blueberry growth additive into your food. Bad enough with the puny 17 inch t.v.s of yore, they wouldn't even be that small coming out of a 54" inch job. And what about the trained Army Of Squirrels (book and second movie)? You send them through a T.V., and they wouldn't have to shrink, they Might Even Be Bigger. How would an Ewok deal with Jumbo Squirrels trained for combat? Obviously the Oompa Loompa would have to bring a screen to battle, but they could ride it around in the Soda Car/Tank, and import an entire second army of Battle Ready Squirrels for support.
It's about technology. My only question is, were they planning to rebel, or was Wonka a demented general bringing in children to test the weapons technology on? As this is a battle between Oompa Loompa vs. Ewoks, I'm setting Wonka aside for now, or else we have to bring in C3PO, et al. It has to be invading Endor or a specific set up for a death match, because if you got Ewoks in the Chocolate Factory it would be a Death Trap.
I'm putting my money on the Oompa Loompa.
