Talk:Laser ice-cutter

Special thanks go to VT-16! VT-16 originally posted a pic of this vehicle on Wiki. His eagle eyes spotted it, briefly shown on ESB.

Further pics which I added to the sight made it clear this was not a modified Rebel personnel carrier, as VT-16 had thought.

VT-16 discovered that this craft was called in the Ultimate Locations book a laser ice-cutter.

I found out that the book also canonized the term "personnel carrier" which VT-16 had already used on Wiki (good guess), and called that also the flight crew shuttle.

VT-16 added the laser ice-cutter to the Rebel personnel carrier as a variant. I initially endorsed this, until comparisons of the various pics made me realize this was not the case. Note that the Personnel carrier has blocky front and rear and a few large "boxes" along the side hull; the ice-cutter has mutliple small "boxes" along the side hull and has round front. This, I believe, indicates these are two separate vehicles altogether. JustinGann 12:23, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
