Since we have now seen the begining of the clone wars in AOTC, it makes me wonder what happened to all of the cool gunships and weapons that were being used in AOTC to the time we get to ESB? Carrying a bunch of gunships around seems much more practical than having a few AT-AT's and they sure would get you there quicker.
In fact, we see nothing in the OT that looks or moves anything like the gunships. I would think that they would have evolved into something?
I guess we can say that hoth is too cold for the gunships to operate correctly and that endor's trees were too tall ... they say that the snowspeeders were modified to work in such a cold enviroment but why wouldn't the empire have something that worked in a similar way?
And while i'm thinking about it... if the Falcon and X-Wings can fly around in the atmosphere of a planet, then why aren't they used in the battle and why doesn't the empire use TIE's?
I love the battle scenes in aotc but it now makes the battle scenes in esb seem kind of ... dull.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
