     Yeah, but most of the toy companies seem to miss that bit.  Even
Galoob's Action Fleet section missed it the first time around, and they had
to produce Luke's real Snowspeeder for the Series Alpha group.

Whenever we see what Luke's doing, it's usually an in-cockpit view of him.
In fact, he doesn't do a lot except get shot down and stamped on.

     He flies decoy for Wedge after Dack gets toasted!  Granted, that kind
of leads directly into the whole bit with him getting shot down in the first
place.

Most of the action shots are of what the other Snowspeeders are doing, and >they all have the orange markings.  They make for a nicer looking model, >anyway.

     They make for a more colorful looking model, but nice is subjective,
and most SW fans would prefer that Luke get his correct vehicles.  We
wouldn't want to see his X-Wing with only two stripes on each wing either.
One of the few things that's more annoying than how often Luke gets sold
with an orange Snowspeeder is the sheer abundance of fans who keep calling
them "Rouge" Squadron instead of "Rogue" Squadron.  I've yet to find an
online TESB script where they aren't consistently named after cosmetics.

In this still, Luke and Dack are in the foremost speeder:

     This is a more obvious shot, since Luke and Dack and Rogue Leader are
specifically mentioned with the image:
