Sigh... I like SW, but I can't survive 3 minutes sparring with hardcore SW fans.
Jason you make all valid (and AFAICT, nonsarcastic) points. Other than that Tatoonie scene in ANH SE, what other creatures does the Empire use in operations? Impressions tells me NONE. I remember a lot of machines and droids but not creatures. That's always been my impression about the Empire, that's unique from the Rebels, Sand People, Hutts, Gungans etc. Reynolds, Jason M. wrote:

I think you got his argument backwards. He's not complaining about the dewbacks. He's making a sarcastic 'observation' as it might be spouted from the lips of someone to justify adding an AT-ST to the scene. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> But the difference is with his observation about Tatooine; it would be adding an advanced unit to a more "backwards" army. Adding the Zaku I to the forces at A Baoa Qu would be more akin to adding a Dewback to the Battle of Endor.
