Battle of the Little People!

1. Melee

The metal short sword is a far better quality weapon than a stone hatchet. In close quarters, the blade will prove both tougher and longer, giving the Hobbits extra range. However, a stone hatchet could be thrown, though if it is primarily designed for melee combat, it wont be very accurate.

EDGE: Hobbits!

2. Mid range

The wooden club might prove thicker than the Ewok spear shaft, and could poentially break it with one strike. Still, the fact that there is a sharp blade at the end of the spear gives it an edge, and the fact that more spears than clubs were used in ancient and medieval armies should tell us about the effectiveness of spears

EDGE: Ewoks!

3. Long range:

Poison arrows are quite devistating. One of the reasons the ancients used poison on their arrows is the fact that people often survived arrow strikes, due to the fact that people could get hit in non-fatal areas. However, no matter where you get hit, poison tipped arrowheads will prove at the very least excrutiating, at the most...lethal.

EDGE: Ewoks!

4. Special:

Throw a rock at a guy, you hurt them. Sling a rock at a guy, and you can potentially kill him. There's a reason why David didn't throw stones at Goliath, but used a sling: with the sling, his rock broke through the giant's forehead. He couldn't do that by throwing a rock.

EDGE: Ewoks

Hobbits are not as heavily built as Ewoks, they are not as ferocious, and they dont have the guerilla tactics of Ewoks. Ewoks gave imperial troopers, guys with chicken walkers and blasters (futuristic alien high tech) a smackdown. Unlike Hobbits, who live a medieval form of existence, Ewoks are stone age hunter gatherers, which takes more physical effort; thus they would be stronger (even if they were the same weight. Remember, Ewoks look like they have twice the mass of hobbits (their hair adds to their size, but you can tell from the tape that their hair isn't long enough to make them look twice as big as they actually are. They are heavy, bear-like aliens). Therefore they are a LOT stronger), have more stamina, and potentially faster and more agile, too. Hobbits dont kill as often for food as Ewoks do, and dont have the same killer instinct either. Hobbits have more learned intelligence, coming from a more advanced civilized society, but otherwise both species seem equally sentient.

THe Ewoks win this hands down

EWOKS EVISCERATE HOBBITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
