Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.
You could still just drop bombs on them. Slow stuff goes through the shield as witness the ground invasion, then Blammo.
Another very easy way would be to have a ground-hugging tank roll in, and deploy a nuke. Everything on the surface gets slagged, in particular turrets and shields, and then you can take prisoners from inside the base to interrogate.
Or sit back and siege them for a little while... big shields must take a ton of power to operate, and you only have to threaten to fire to force them to keep it up.
Or, why not fire back with a similar weapon. Disable the base systems, then slag the defenses, then you win.

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.
BTW, if the ATs are too heavy, then legs are an extremely bad idea for propulsion. Treads would be tougher, faster, have more traction and spread the weight better over weak surfaces (such as ice).

Really, the only place walkers are better are in really rough terrain.

Then only if the walkers are much more nimble than portrayed in SW... |

Re: [OT] More George Lucas bashing.
The rebels should have just deployed a minefield around the base, think a bouncing betty with mini proton torps. Luke alone, not even having gone to dagobah yet was able to take one out ON HIS OWN!! If Vader wanted prisoners he should have gotten his big metallic a$$ down there and went anakin on them all. And don't try to say he couldn't have done that, no jedi to oppose him but luke, and even if they knew he was coming I seriously doubt they could have stopped him.
