Here we can all post poems and other stuff about our beloved AT-ATs!

Ode to an AT-AT (slighly modified from The meaning of life)
Oh AT-AT...
Oooh you are so big...
So absolutely huge.
Gosh, we are all really impressed down here I can tell you.
Forgive us, O AT-AT, for this our dreadful toadying.
And barefaced flattery.
But you are so strong and, well, just so super.
Fan-tastic.

I decided to move this here, so that no one thinks this tread is in anyway connected to those foul two-legged versions...

Imperial All Terrain Armoured Transport walkers
Number of legs: four (not two or three. Five is right out).
Shielding: heavy armour cladding (making them invulnerable to all but the heaviest turbo laser weaponry) that absorbes and dissipate.
Energy source: inner reactor.
Weaponry: blaster targeting rangefinder with medium blaster cannon, class II heavy laster cannon (that is those lovely guns under the jaw).
Capacity for soldier transport: up to 40 snowtroopers.
Sensors: terrain sensor computer, impulse terrain sensor (both these in the feet), targeting computers, forward sensors.
Best details: toe flap and knee joint brake.

I think that all AT-ST (all terrain scout transport walkers) should be taken apart and be rebuilt as AT-ATs. Who is with me?

And, apparently, lightsabers.

...or ropes...

There are to few poems about AT-AT, so I have to steal some for them. I suppose you all know where this came from...

Walk, AT-AT:
Walk faster, play -
power up and let the shield gleam.
You are the marrow of the metal.
No rein will curb, or bit control -
no light saber unpunished rend;
no fuel be lost without a shock absorber.
We are the Stormtroopers, born to serve:
Technichans curry,
Speeder Bikers protect,
Snowtroopers hearth and bed anneal-
our feet do not bear our hearts away.
Metal-grown footpads, and forehead pilots,
knee-joints and class II heavy laser cannons bloom:
regal AT-AT, walk and walk faster -
We serve the assault carriers of the Sky,
the toe flaps of the World.

Brilliant Ylva!!!

At-Ats are so cool. I like the one outside of the Star Tours ride at MGM studios theme park in Orlando.

Does it work?...if it does, I'm nickin' it!

The bloody thing seems to only be a full scale mock up. I'd have already climbed into the cockpit if it was a working model.

dam... and I've already booked the plane ticket too...

I really think someone should start selling "My little AT-AT"-kits complete with storm troopers an a resistance movement to trample " Muuummyyy I want an AT-AT for X-mas. It's sooo cuuute"

Soo, how do you like my little X-mas AT-AT with a nice christmas tree to stomp down into the snow...?


(How come that this VERY IMPORTANT thread has fallen so far down in the line... I can't think of why.... Really, I can't)

It's almost as great as sausages!

And in some ways far greater, but much less tasty

That is a terrific Avatar. Very festive and menacing. Look out little tree! Well done.

The scene of the Walker's rending reminds me of a Petra song : "Get On Your Knees And Fight Like A Man".

AT-AT's are the best. I hope we see some of them in Epi III. I hope they title the Movie "Star Wars Episode III: The Attack of the At-At's, and some curious insignificant changes in Anaken's life."

LOL! Well, that would be a sight!

The entire StarWars suite should be renamed I think:
The AT-AT Wars or possible Star AT-ATs...

Episode 1: The phantom AT-AT
Episode 2: The Attac of the AT-ATs
Episode 3: The second attac of the AT-ATs
Episode 4: A new AT-AT
Episode 5: The AT-ATs strike back
Episode 6: The return of the AT-AT

The Evok-movie could go under the name My little AT-ATs, it was rather cute...

Here are some title changes I'd make:

Episode 1: A Boy and his AT-AT
Episode 2: Four Weddings and an AT-ATs
Episode 3: AT-AT: Revolutions
Episode 4: Dude, Where's my AT-AT?
Episode 5: One Flew Over The AT-AT's Coop
Episode 6: A Beautiful AT-AT
