TIL about a Battlefield II map where one team was Ewoks, who can see in the dark, and the other team was Stormtroopers with rapidly depleting flashlights.

I presume you mean Battlefront II. I'll have to ask my son about that. What is the game mode called?

I have no idea. I had a conversation on twitter with a friend about it.

My son says it is called "Ewok Hunt" but he only knows that from watching videos. It is an online-only mode.

I think it's perhaps the best idea for a semi-srious game mode in a Star Wars game ever. I think more have could be done with the idea, but the concept is great. Something that could well be used for an Imperial campaign. Very Happy
Especially given the many implications in Return of the Jedi that the ewoks eat killed stormtroopers.

"When the trees start talking nub-nub."

Completely implausible. but everything about Ewoks is.
I love that the ewoks can blow their horns to get a significant damage increase and resistance boost. Just to let the stormtrooper players know they are about to get rushed.
