T-16 Skyhopper or Imperial Shuttle?

Leaving Mos Eisley, right before we cut to 3PO saying "I can't abide those Jawas." As the Speeder pulls up a ship can be seen leaving Mos Eisley.

Now my question may be difficult because of the similar design in the ships. But does anyone know the answer?

 

What I'm curious about is if that's an Imperial Shuttle we see flying above Mos Eisley at the end celebration in RotJ.

Perhaps the Imperials are leaving the planet?

 

I think the one in ROTJ is a Skyhoppeer, it doesn't looks sleek enough to be an imperial shuttle.

 

The ship flying above Mos Eisley is the Imperial Landing Craft we saw earlier in the movie, in the "Look, sir - droids!" scene - that's how all the troopers got to Mos Eisley. It looks like a longer Imperial Shuttle, but it's a seperate vehicle. The ship flying above Tatooine in RotJ is indeed a Skyhopper. It's good to see one flying - I think I remember reading that George always wanted a Skyhopper race in Beggar's canyon in ANH, but couldn't do it because of the technology. Hence the podrace in TPM.

 

hi

 

Yup, that's a T-16 Skyhopper in ROTJ during the celebration scene, and Imperial Landing Craft during the Mos Eisley entrance scene.
