Why wouldn't Needa use a Lambda class shuttle to go to the executor? These shuttles would be used to ferry important members of the Empire: the Emperor, Vader, and high ranking officers, of which Needa is one. It makes more sense having him fly in a Lambda class shuttle than a modified TIE bomber. And the argument about Lucas not changing it doesn't really hold up. Look what he changed that wasn't necessary but ignored things that did need changing. In Revisited the shuttle is going to stay just that: a shuttle, so in ROTJ Han & co's shuttle will be changed to a cargo ship, which it should have been in the first place
Its your edit Ady, but a TIE Shuttle is already a Shuttle, seems since ROTJ everyone thinks theres only one design, after I saw TESB in '80 for three years I thought a TIE Shuttle was the only way for senior officers to travel.
