You do remember that in 3/5 fights between rebels and Stormtroopers the Empire wins handily. Still, mass produced, don't even cut the line. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR BAD AIM! "These blast points, too accurate for Sand People."

Their bad aim is movie magic. When they don't have to fail for the plot they're all highly accurate soldiers. And when a "small" army for your faction contains several thousand infantrymen who all shoot at about the same time accuracy doesn't really matter anyway. The RotJ Novelization, BTW, describes terrible losses for the Ewoks until Chewbacca wisely hijacked the Imperial AT-ST. Oh, and Imperial troops do have rocket launchers they can be specially equipped with depending on the mission. Which fire a smaller version of proton torpedoes. Which are basically mini-nukes. The main reason they lost at the Endor bunker was that the Imperial commander stupidly decided that the attack on the bunker was just a diversion. Which explains the absence of the AT-AT.
