^ I don't think speederbikes would make for a logical addition to the Battle of Hoth. Their use makes sense in ROTJ because, given the density of the forest, they are the only real means of transportation (aside from the AT-STs). On Hoth, however, any Imperial trooper riding a bike would be an easy target for the rebels. The idea for the Empire here isn't speed, it's defensibility while making a frontal assault (which is where the AT-ATs, with their impenetrable armour, comes in).

I'm not sure if logic can be brought into play here.

What's the logic of putting speeder bikes in an environment full of hard obstacles that are almost impossible to avoid travelling at high speed (like say...a forest moon)?

What's the logic of mounting an assault using walking attack vehicles that can be brought to the ground by unstable ground conditions (like say...a forest moon)?

That said, speeder bikes on Hoth aren't something I really feel the need to see, though it would be nice to have more AT-STs on that hard stable frozen plain (without logs).

Touché :)
