Storm troopers in Ep. 4-6 were given orders not to hit Han Solo, Leia Organa, and Luke Skywalker.

Quick question how did you get that mentor thing?
-
They were?
-
Yes. I'm pretty sure that is still canon, too. Hurt or stun, but don't kill. They were far too valuable alive. In the sixth film, the only time the trio is in danger is when the Stormtroopers don't know it's them (on Endor). Same for the battle on Hoth. They didn't know it was Luke and had no issue shooting him down.

So how do -blam!-ing Ewoks mop the floor with the Empire's best?
-
They had the Rebels and their plan, Han Solo, Leia Organa, and the element of surprise and terrain. Also, take note that many Ewoks died during that fight. The main trio only gets by due to the Stormtroopers having their orders not to kill them, if that's still canon.
