Feed ability targets friendly figures. So if you don't want the ewoks to feed on your heroes, you'd better bring C3P0 to use his presumably newly acquired ability "I do believe they think I am some kind of God"

I like where you're going with that, but it would mean they eat each other. Carnivore maybe?
Something like this?
Carnivore: when an adjacent figure is defeated Recover 2 damage, and gain 2 MP.

Exactly! There's this hidden subtext about Endor, an ugly underbelly we don't see where the various Ewok tribes are struggling for dominance, capturing other tribe members and feasting on them in ritual sacrifice.
We don't see it in RotJ because the Ewoks are united in common cause against the Empire, but once the Empire leaves ... watch out!

Also with Cross Training attached, so that he's super good at sneaking around.

2) Nothing "unintentional" about it. It's meant to be funny.
3) Don't blame me if you get eaten first when Ewoks conquer the Earth with their sticks and rocks

Saying the Ewoks are frightening because they were going to eat people is being pedantic. It would be like saying that at the end of A New Hope, Luke Skywalker is as ruthless as Grand Moff Tarkin because they were both willing to kill countless people to achieve their goals. That is literally accurate but you have to ignore character, context, and reason to attempt to make the comparison. Ewoks weren't intended to be terrifying and any attempt after Jedi to make them so is absolutely a retcon. Seeing them using Stormtrooper helmets as drums during the Jedi finale and saying, "my god, the implication here is that they ate the faces of their enemies and are using their helmets as instruments! WHAT BARBARISM," is a huge stretch. That means that all the Rebels dancing to the Ewok tunes are totally cool watching defeated Imperials being butchered, cooked, and eaten? Come on. The next time we saw the Ewoks it wasn't, "Wicket Spits on your Grave" or, "Widdle's Feast of Flesh," it was Caravan of Courage.

We're fans on the internet. Fun ideas trump the creator's intent here. The Ewoks were Godless monsters and savages.
Also, it's not a retcon. It's a "reimaginenactment."

They had a god. He was a protocol droid.

There is nothing fun about Ewoks.

Endor, sure. Dagobah.......I dunno. Somehow, I just don't see either skirmish OR campaign going on in Yoda's backyard.
And yes, please to more Ewoks......so we can in the words Sidious said to Maul, "Wipe them out......ALL of them."

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I wonder if we'll ever see Endor as anything other than a few DLC missions on the app. They could do all the things that people REALLY want from the Endor box with a blister pack and probably make more money. Scout troopers for me, Ewoks for you, something else for the other people. Think about it from there marketing guy's point of view.
"Okay, so I get that IA and Legion are two different games that target a different audience, but you've got a game that's clearly set in the Battle of Endor that is coming on in Q4 of this year, and then you want to drop another box for Endor less than a year later? Even if they don't cannibalize each other, you aren't worried about product confusion?"
