The AT-AT was a psychological weapon mostly and used to strike fear in less evolved socities in the galaxy but with a little bit of cunning, a well armed and advanced foe could trip up the walker because of its high center of gravity.

it's still an effective weapon that NEEDS unconventional means to deal with it efficiently. Think of it this way: mean looking teeth and mean-looking teeth that can still chew you to paste and crack your bones like twogs are two different things. The AT-AT is both psychological tool and giant armored mobile high ground with torbolaser style blasters and troopers inside.Don't forget only 1 walker was tripped on hoth and the other was destroyed with a lightsaber. The rest were fine and shot down all the other snow speeders that tried the tow cable trick. Ask yourself: what happens when it stops walking? Do the armor, heavy blaster cannonss, and troops inside go away? What now tough guy?

Even without unconventional tactics, I think it could still be dealt with fairly easily. Severing the neck or major damage to just the head could disable the crew and stop an AT-AT. A common strategy used by the Taliban against US tanks were to fire RPGs at the tank tread (or so I was told), you could probably use this same strategy against AT-ATs, explosives at the joints, crippling the ability to move. But I’m no expert, so take this with a grain of salt.

The Lucas Force galaxy tech is much different than the tech of The Milky Way. In some ways we can make a weapon even more fierce by using RT tech which, for some reason the Lucas Force galaxy ignores. Perhaps this is what the droids are for. I think we should look towards Boston Dynamics (?) or is it Boston Robotics to submit something to DARPA. One day we might have weapons that make the Lucas Force galaxy tech look obsolete. Remember the computer in the movie "Alien". It was supposed to be futuristic at the time the movie came out. Here, let me give you another analogy. Our iPhones are more advanced that the Star Trek communicator which looks like a flip phone.

"It's their blinding speed and low center of gravity that makes them formidable weapons." Chad Vader

It's actually a damn good design for a pure siege weapon. When we were kids and even now people think of the application of it to be more like a tank, which it isn't, it isn't designed to duel other vehicles or be an infantry killer. Hence why it's called All Terrain and why it was going after a shield generator.

I'll just copy paste this from the other comment. Magnetized feet and such things allow walkers to be utilized in low gravity settings, as Anakin Skywalker used AT TEs on asteroids and hulls of ships, and repulsorlift technology is more vulnurable to external jamming or disabling by shields. AT ATs and other walkers didn't have the issue of enemy shield interference, which is why the Empire deployed them within the Rebel shield on Hoth to destroy the generator, allowing aircraft to land safely, so that's another positive.

And you know what an armoured military transport system REALLY needs? The capacity to get tripped over!!

In TESB I always thought the relative size of the vehicle when viewed from the rebel base, from inside skywalker’s cockpit and from the outside view of the battle scenes (which is probably the most accurate as I’m presuming for the practical special effects team, they kept them proportional... then again, that may not be the case), were all different so I don’t think it’s thoroughly defined by the movies. The original films were before an Internet fandom which demanded specifications and detail; something which I think takes away from the magic of the artistic endeavours

Ty for showing everything inside

The AT-AT model and the snowtrooper models looked so badass

I think the machines in the original trilogy, including the imperial walkers, represent more realistically designed machines than even those shown in the average star trek episode. Indeed, if a walking robot were required by a futuristic military, I imagine the machine that would stand the test of time and find its way into the more permanent arsenal of the highly organized galactic empire would be the machine that looks as humble and clumsy as the imperial walker does. It is one of my favorite pastimes to imagine how the future of technology will look,, and somehow, I think star wars got an unbelievable amount right. all the way to the clothes.

Hopefully the partwork Deagostini model of this should come up after the Build Your X-wing.

Excellent explained ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seems so slow to get your troops were you need to be. The older modle looks more stable and the turret looks more powerfull. This things ass is the super blind spot. None the less its still fucking awsome. So cool how it can hold those speed bikes to.

@Huseyn Mammadov Correct. This was known as the Tarkin doctrine "the fear of a force can be more effective than the force itself". ie. Bigger = scarier = "I don't want to fight that", even at a lower quality. Which sort of explains why the Empire fell. Once hope/anger replaced fear, the Tarkim doctrine couldn't fill in the gaps of effectiveness in the Empire's military and Navy. Making the Empire an easier target.

If you've seen the Robot Chicken episode where Luke tosses the explosive device into the walker's bottom hatch, then you know where the AT-AT's toilet is.

It was an impressive but terribly slow battle taxi, the long legs and flexible neck being the weak points. LAAT from the Clone Wars era being the best way to get troops into and out of a hot zone. It's to the rebels advantage that the Empire forgot that speed and timing is essential to any combat mission.

@@Halfscreen Yes, not really practical. Some very weak points where even a small snow speeder can take it out, and why are there no guns on the top or at the back - very vulnerable to attck from behind. In the Star Wars universe why would you have a big ground transport at all? Wouldn't it be easier to just fly your troops and equipment everywhere? Never intended for real analysis though, and still looks great.

I’ve always thought that the use of AT-TE and LAAT was necessary since it was a full scale war of Republic vs CIS. Once the war was over, all that was left was holdouts, the occasional revolts or the Rebels. So somebody, probably Palpatine decided to shift the Imperial technology towards fear and oppression. Hence, the AT-AT’s height and firepower. Nothing more demoralizing than a group of AT-AT practically towering over you and warming up their main guns.

The AT-AT and TIE-Fighter are my favorite Star Wars vehicles! :)

Boy! When the binoculars scans the legs then the whole body, it was frightening. I saw that film at the cinema for a whole month. Bar the Millennium Falcon, the "at at" was the most iconic of vehicles

Just wanted to point out the at-at in episode six is actually a different model that was intended for transporting supplies and guarding construction sites or bases. Unlike the ones on hoth which where made more for combat

The "imps" should have designed it to be more crab-like or spider-like (maintaining the four-leg design) in terms of general chassis design and/or body habitus, then it would've been more maneuverable while still being all-terrain.

That is what Battletech tabletop is for. Tarantula, Scorpion are quad mechs. There is Crab and King Crab. The new miniature of King Crab is very cool.

I wanted one of these so bad as a kid. These were right up there with the GI Joe Aircraft Carrier to own, haha. My grandparents got me the two legged variety when Return of the Jedi came out along with the Ewok Village set, lol.

from the time I was 5 years old the AT-AT has been my favorite Star Wars Vehicle

From a cinematic perspective, it was one of the most impressive and iconic miliary vehicles ever shown on film. From a military tactical perspective it was a lesson in how not to build an armored assault vehicle. Too big, too tall, high center of gravity, exposed fuel tanks and motor, a turret that couldn't turn to shoot behind it, flat body panels with no deflecting capabilities, poor weight distribution at ground contact, (theres a reason for using tracks), command and weapons were in the most exposed part of the vehicle, and very, very slow. (Slower than a WWII M4 Sherman) Ultimate RV/Camper!

Great video. Very entertaining. The AT-AT is one big ungainly target, though. If I ran the Imperial armory, I'd pick something lower to the ground and less vulnerable.
