In that case i'd say Wicket wins. all he needs to do is camp out in a tree and wait until the Alien pursues him up the tree. Although, I think it would take a shit load of arrows to drop the Alien but i think Wicket could attack and retreat until the alien goes down. One Alien is not much of a threat.

This is crazy, an Ewok versus an Alien? Alien would pwn Wicket.

Even with Wicket's spear and arrows...? From an elevated position as postulated earlier...? He could use catapults, that crap looking yet effective ewok-glider, theres a lot in the furry little bastard's favour..
He could rig traps ala Alien3.
I dont see an arrow or two slowing down an alien, and I highly doubt the alien is gonna wander about with a bulls eye on its back.

You think an arrow can penetrate the skull of an alien? In AVP the hot black chick uses a dead aliens skull as a shield.

RJ has a point, seems that their exoskeletons would provide protection; not sure how much, but stopping a stone-tipped arrow fired by a 3-foot midget isn't beyond reason.
Fair play. So the more weighty spear might be the best way then..
I thought the main point of the head was that it was acid resistant...
Thats what the predator, seemed to be emphasising to the chick.
And theres a lot of difference between blocking blunt trauma and stopping all that energy concentrated on a shapened point....
It like how its so massively hard to a crack a coconut, for example, but stab it with the tip of a knife or ice pick and its coconut juice time.....

Your logic is sound, I'm just weary of how much force a stone-tipped arrow fired from a very small bow in the hands of someone with extremely short arms would have.
Every time I read this thread I envision a T Rex fighting a teddy bear.
