>>7635966Remember how they couldn't use the snowspeeder until morning? air flying things arent always viable, even if they're repulsorcrafts or whatever.
As for harpoons, that's all you saw. There's no reason it shouldn't also have an option to just do it by hand. I'm sure there's a bunch of towwers who wish they could shoot a magnetic line from the comfort of their cab.
Also, since they're air speeders, using it while youre in the air means there's no way to really do it by hand. Hence, that harpoon.
Come on, it's not hard to be creative.
Also, the fact that that gunner in the back is facing backwards shows it's probably used for something else that requires a worker to always be looking backwards.
it's really clever in how fucking ghetto the rebels are in Star Wars. The snowspeeders are nothing more than technicals like toyotas in Africa being used as APCs and IFVs.
Nothing but cobbled together junk... which the nuWars took literal with those stupid B-wings that look like orcs put it together and there's no WAAAGH to keep it from wobbling apart, instead of a solid chunk human ingenuity like the snowspeeder.
