"What you're sensing isn't a disturbance in the Force—it's an amplification of it. Star Wars Celebration (and, hopefully, the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi) is less than two weeks away, so right now the internet is lousy with new rumors about the saga. First Order transports, new characters, shrubbery: folks are speculating on just about everything. Let's see if we can catch you up in 14 parsecs or less. The New First Order Walkers Are Not Monkeying Around
Source: Online reports
Probability of Accuracy: Let's go with 60/40 at this point.
The Real Deal: Remember how everyone loved the AT-ATs in The Empire Strikes Back, and the AT-STs in Return of the Jedi? Apparently, The Last Jedi is going to have the next generation of lumbering walking machines. The fan site Making Star Wars claims that the movie will debut the Heavy Assault Walkers, which the site described thusly: "Imagine pissed-off gorillas with their front arms on the ground looking at you and then transform them into AT-ATs and you have the First Order Heavy Assault Walkers." According to the report, these massive walkers will all show up en masse during a huge action scene. What kind of havoc they're meant to cause remains unknown, though we speculate it would fall under the category of "massive."…"

Of course they won't be able to hit anything and can be brought down with a rope and grapple. |

I love Star Wars but Star Wars makes me sad. They have Star Destroyer so they have to come up with Super Star Destroyer. They have Death Star then they have to come up with Death Start II and Star Killer. They have AT-AT and now they come up with a super At-At. Hmm… |

Sorry, I hated the AT-ATs. After all, if Luke's uncle can afford a land speeder with some sort of anti-grav device, why can't the Empire have grav tanks? Why all the complexity of all those moving parts to make the things lumber along slowly? And why are they tall as mountains, when all modern combat is about reducing your profile? And, yes, they can apparently be taken down with a rope. If they are just terror weapons, then shouldn't they also have screaming sirens and flashing lights and paintings of scary things on their big hulls? :-/ |
