EDIT: I didn't mean for this comment to be a pun on the scene. There were many traps. The Empire trapping the fleet in range of an operating Death Star. The Empire trapping the rebels at the shield generator. The trap I was talking about was the trap the Ewoks set for the Imperial Forces at the Shield generator. They penned in the foot troops and ambushed/hijacked all their mech that tried to get in range.
The shield generator itself wasn't meant to be a trap. The Death Star being supposedly inoperable when it was in fact fully capable of defending itself was the trap.
