Presumably carrying Darth Vader to the Rebel base (at a point in the battle where Imperial Snowtroopers are disembarking for ground combat - a scene mentioned but ultimately not filmed), a solitary AT-ST 'Scout Walker' presses ahead of the remaining Walkers and over the front lines in this memorable moment.

Luke is oblivious to the background Scout Walker soon after destroying an AT-AT.

The AT-ST 'Chicken' Walker was apparently a last minute addition to the film, at the request of George Lucas, during stop-motion filming, and would be visually altered by the time of its full showcasing with
Return of the Jedi three years later.
