Did the Ewoks eat Imperial personnel?

So Ewoks have an appetite for humans (as well as Wookies and even droids) and after the battle of Endor there would have been plenty of enemy combatants kicking around. The Ewoks were obviously scavenging Imperial gear, we see some Stormtrooper helmets being used as drums at the celebration, so do you think the Ewoks took some troopers or Imperial officers for the purposes of a meal? Okay, so I guess the Rebel Alliance probably has a thing for humane and ethical treatment of prisoners, so any surviving Imperials captured after the battle were probably sent to a transport that would take them to either a prison facility or whatever the Alliance does with their POWs. But what about Imperials killed during the battle? While the Alliance might believe in treating the dead with dignity, even enemy dead, it's still possible the Ewoks grabbed a few dead Imperials when the Rebels weren't looking and enjoyed them at the barbecue, right?
 
When the Rebels saw the empty Stormtrooper helmets next to the fire being used as drums they were horrified and asked Threepio if the Ewoks had eaten them as they had intended to do with Han's group earlier.

But once 3PO replied that the Ewoks said that the Stormtroopers really "hit the spot", they knew they hadn't actually eaten them and were just trying to look scary, because Stormtroopers have never been able to hit the spot on anything.

Ewoka, Ewoka, Ewoka!
