[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 564047, member: 7379"] Hi Lars, I'm pretty sure this is because the vehicle was made before the correct figure. The AT-ST was actually released in the ESB range by Kenner in the US, so it's highly likely for Return of the Jedi, they prepared the re-release and updated its box photo art before the AT-ST Driver was released. Similarly, the original white TIE Fighter was released well before the TIE Fighter Pilot (which was a late ESB release, where the TIE Fighter vehicle was a SW release), which is why a Stormtrooper is flying that one on the box as well. Likewise, the Twin-Pod 'Do nothing' Cloud Car has a Bespin Security Guard and Luke Bespin (of all people!) piloting it on the box (and it's parked on what appears to be Hoth and is surrounded by Leia Bespin, C-3PO, Lando and more Bespin Guards for good measure), because once again, it was released well ahead of the Cloud Car Pilot figure :) Jeremy [/QUOTE]
