According to the Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels, it says the
snowspeeders are heavily modified Incom T-47 airspeeders.....for combat duty
snowspeeders are fitted with heavy armor plating and twin laser cannons.

Yeah, I was confused when they first came out with the snowspeeder, because I
thought "Hey, they could hardly get them to operate on Hoth"  The book also
says they are nicknamed other things like sandspeeder, or swampspeeder,
depending on where they are being used, obviously.

Snowspeeders to the cold.

I realize there is probably some book I don't have or website that explains
this.  Anybody know where these vehicles were adapted from?

Does this mean the Snowspeeders were just Pizza delivery speeders on Alderan
or Sports cars on Tattoine?
