| ABOUT THE DESIGN: | ABOUT THE MODEL: | |
| The “speeder” concept had been part of the “Star Wars” universe ever since Luke Skywalker went zipping across the deserts of Tatootine in the original film, and here audiences got to see an advanced version – in this case, a T-47 airspeeder adapted to fight in the frigid cold of the ice planet of Hoth. Unlike Luke’s open-cockpit ‘speeder, this was a closed-cockpit, two-seater design equipped with two powerful blasters and a harpoon gun. “Harpoon gun?” It was a case of form-following-function as the “Empire” screenplay called for the Rebels to bring down one of the Empire's AT-AT’s by entangling its legs with a tow cable. What other function this weapon could possibly serve in conventional combat remains extremely unclear. |
