Fine, have the co-pilot lean out the cockpit and throw a grenade at it. I mean, Luke had one on his belt, right? (The same belt he wore in the bacta tank?)

Or just add a bomb to the air speeders.

That would look kinda pooey, then insult my visual understanding of the scene..

Yes, it would look terrible. That's why I was joking when I said it.

Incom T-47 speeders are not equiped with bombs. Thus I suggested the Rebel ground troops running towards the crash with a portable concussion missle launcher with a combined attacked from the snowspeeders.

Yeah, I'm afraid I don't really care what the minutia of the EU has to say about everything. The fact is that the movie, as filmed, shows snowspeeders using blasters to blow up armor that's "too strong for blasters." So, yes, you could shoot a completely new scene with ground troops running toward the thing with missile launchers (which probably are also new to the contintuity of the scene) or you could add a bomb or two to the snowspeeders and mostly keep the scene as is. As you said, the rebels modified the snowspeeders for use on Hoth... who's to say that they didn't add some heavier ordinance to them while they were at it. If Luke can carry an AT-AT destroying grenade on his belt, surely the light speeders can carry a couple bombs/missiles/grenades capable of the same feat.

Apparently Ady doesn't plan to do anything with the scene, but wouldn't a simple change to the ordinance fired by the snowspeeders be a lot more in line with the subtle changes than filming an entirely new scene?
