Topic: Empire Strikes Back Hoth Rebel Tracked Vehicle

[StenHunter]

Hey everyone, I recently watched the "lost" ESB documentary and I noticed that during the Hoth Battle scene there is a tracked vehicle that the rebels have that I have never seen before..anyone else? is there a toy? If not, here are some reference images from the doco..

Woah, talk about not ever having seen this. I have to go watch that documentary.

I will post your question on the main pages as I would like to know more about it too.

There's a pic of a deleted scene with Luke manning a gun on one of those in the base, I will try to see if I can find it.

I think I attached it right?

And a better view

That was the pic I was looking for.  Sometimes pops up as a "Rebel Combat Speeder".

This link has a couple more good pics, as well as frames from ESB where you can actually (barely) see this vehicle.

Pretty cool find, and thanks for the excellent detective work everyone. I've not gotten into custom vehicles, but I may have to start with this one:)

I can only agree with Starchaser! Jaeger45, that's such a cool resource for references! I was just going to post a picture of LEGO set 8083, but that's definitely not necessary anymore! I always wondered where LEGO had gotten this idea from and I also didn't expect it was based on a vehicle that was actually on set in ESB! This MOC sharwd on Eurobricks however looks much more like it! So there is an official toy of this vehicle, indeed, StenHunter!
Thanks for sharing your careful oberservation and krztfr thank you for adding more references! This documentary is a true treasure!

Between here and Facebook Sten Hunter ought to have a ton of resources. Cool vehicle.

Thank you everyone! Now to figure out what to make this out of Kind of has a little jabba skiff in it.. the wiki says Luke used it in the Wampa battle..but I think this video has all those scenes but doesn't show it..
