Some of the photos could give Adywan some ideas for the Hoth battle, what do you think?
Here are a few more:

(in regards to slightly altering the AT-STs for EMPIRE and JEDI, check out the window config on the 6th image, shown below. I never liked the "droopy eye" look of the propped up windows, not to mention its kinda stupid if you have to use a walker in a non-oxygen environment... much less give your enemy a chance to shoot you as you drive the damn thing).
There is a really cool picture of 2 AT-STs attacking the rebel trench on Hoth that I believe was in one of the EMPIRE comic adaptations. If I can find it, I will post it here.
Awww, aren't they cute? Hey Ady: I know ROTJ is 2 or 3 (or 4 or 5) years from now, but think we could have some squished ewok under AT-ST foot action (ala 1976 KING KONG during the "escape from the show" scene)?

(same thing in regards to the different windows)
Here is an interesting quote from the 1st link: Origin and design The AT-ST model used in The Empire Strikes Back was to have more screen time; however, one scene depicting a snowspeeder shooting at the AT-ST model was ruined when the set's background shifted. For Return of the Jedi, ILM made the AT-ST design more detailed. Numerous models were created, including a full-sized AT-ST for on-location shooting.[9] Director Richard Marquand and producer Robert Watts played the AT-ST operators for the scene in which Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and a pair of Ewoks commandeer an AT-ST.
