The AT-ST doesn't make much sense anywhere, but makes more sense in the wide open snowfields than the cramped forest. :p
Yeah, with repulser craft like snow or landspeeders why design an easily flawed 'chicken walker', just sneeze and it falls over.

I like the ATST in ESB, but judging by the changes in the new 16 minute clip ESB:R will be my version of choice. The new emperor scene and 'Bring my shuttle' more than make up for losing a brief glimpse of the ATST.
The ATST and the speeder bikes in Jedi do not make much sense but then you may as well ask:
Why didn't the gunner on the star destroyer just shoot the escape pod "just to be sure"? (I bet he got force choked soon after!)
Why do the stormtroopers ride giant lizards on Tatooine?
When our heroes jump in the garbage chute, why don't the stormtroopers check out the station schematics and go and wait for them at the door?
Leia knew the falcon was being tracked so why didn't she ditch it on a neutral planet and take a different ship to Yavin?
Why didn't the death star designer put some protection around the exhaust port?
Why didn't the empire nuke hoth from orbit instead of sending a ground assault?
Why didn't vader just break the falcon's hyperdrive rather than just having it switched off?
Don't start me on the rescue 'plan' at the start of ROTJ.
Why didn't the emperor have large shutters installed in those tubes the rebels fly through to get to the death star reactor?
Why can't a crack legion of stormtroopers crush an insurgency comprised of teddy bears armed with sticks and stones?
SW is full of plot holes if you scrutinise it too closely. The story and the spectacle are what matter (well apart from the teddy bears, I can't suspend disbelief that much).
