Back in 2007 (a great year for lego Star Wars in my opinion) Lego released some ads to promote the first wave of sets, which included the first ever battle packs. However, they had to put the Clone Trooper battle pack in an ad featuring OT sets, considering the Droid one was done in a different ad. To get around the difference in the eras, Lego decided in the ad to give the stormtroopers clone markings and have them ride the speeds. For a few seconds at the start you can see a Imperial Shocktrooper leading the charge:

Years later EA feature shocktoopers in their Star Wars Battlefront game, and lego makes them as figures!:

It's a pretty crazy coincidence that amuses me greatly, i had to share it!

Here is an image of the troopers using the speeder:
