The fact that stormtroopers were using Dewbacks on Tatooine makes me think they would be the best. Tauntauns were said to be difficult to train and stinky.

Yeah, but what else are you going to use on Hoth? Wampas?

Hmmm. :twisted:

I wonder why they didn't have desertmobiles.

I guess they could just use speeder bikes.

Most likely cheaper to use tauntauns than have to buy and maintain snowmobiles.

Rancor.

Barring that, a bantha would be pretty cool, since they're so adaptable to various climates, they're strong, and they seem comparatively easy to ride. The Ronto seems much less efficient, since it can't be loaded with anything, and it's higher than it needs to be.

The FAQ wrote:How do I create a poll?
Creating a poll is easy -- when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a Add Poll form below the main posting box. If you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls. You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options -- to set an option type in the poll question and click the Add option button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 being an infinite amount. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, which is set by the board administrator

Favourite mount in Star Wars? I'd have to say I'd most like to mount Padme Amidala.

Acklay, it's powerful yet quite fast moving. And just look at the teeth and claws of the thing.

A nice alternative is a Rancor... With a young and pretty Daughter of Allya (aka Dathomir Witch) accompanying it. :lol:

I thought someone would have gotten there before you Mike, seeing as this thread was started hours ago.

I'll take a dewback. That's what I've got in SW: Galaxies anyways, seems to work well enough.

The Kaadu makes the coolest noise, and I like that it doesn't have arms. That looks neat.

But really I don't like any of them; I'd generally prefer to see the troops riding in speeders or swoops or something.

Taun Taun: And you thought they smelled bad on the outside.

But personally, I like the Dewback since I'm a giant lizard type of guy.
