I assumed that the traps were already set up; they could not have been
built in that short a time.  But it takes very little imagination to
believe that they were already set up.  Given their background, the
Imperials probably hunted the Ewoks for sport.  If I were an Ewok,
this would get me to build traps and defenses.

What I find hard to believe is that the Imperials would build a fighting
machine which walks on two legs, and when it trips and falls down, it
blows up!  Military equipment has to be sturdy, not fragile.
