Vintage Star Wars Snowspeeders

The snowspeeder is a Rebel Alliance vehicle featured in The Empire Strikes Back. Luke was instrumental in helping the Alliance acquire its squadron. The snowspeeders used on Hoth are modified Incom T-47 airspeeders initially used for civilians, but they were modified to operate in the deep freeze of planet Hoth.

Luke Skywalker leads the team of snowspeeders against Imperial AT-AT walkers during the Battle of Hoth. They begin the battle firing with little luck; they then begin to use their harpoons and tow cables to trip the AT-AT walkers.

Vintage Star Wars T-65 X-Wings

X-wings are so named because their wings split in half to form a flat "X" shape viewable from the front or rear of the craft. Each X-wing has an external cockpit where a droid can be loaded. The droid then handles things like navigation and repairs.

Luke first pilots an X-wing during the attack on the Death Star
