The Movies

When stationed on Hoth , the Rebel Alliance modified T-47 airspeeders to become snowspeeder s, fast flying conveyances for patrol and defense of their hidden base.

Expanded Universe

Rebel Alliance technicians scavenged their own arsenal in adapting the civilian T-47 for combat duty.

Behind the Scenes

Joe Johnston's early concept sketches of the snowspeeder were based on the Alliance starfighters seen in A New Hope . The X-wing was severely pared down, with its wings removed, and skis mounted on its ventral surface.
