If you would like a present for a Star Wars lover, then you cannot go wrong if you buy the Star Wars Imperial AT-AT All Terrain Armored Transport Vehicle. Modeled after the actual Imperial Walkers originally used in The Empire Strikes Back, this AT-AT is sure to be one of the most sought after Star Wars gifts this Christmas.
The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT walker, is a four-legged transport and combat vehicle used by the Imperial ground forces. Standing a towering 15 meters tall, these walkers are intimidating, and are used as much for psychological warfare as they are for tactical effect. They are used by the Old Republic and the Galactic Empire for ground assault and transport. Imperial walkers have played a crucial role in the outcome of battles. Forged at the Kuat Drive Yards, the same production facility that crafted the Empire’s prodigious Imperial Star Destroyer, the AT-AT walker is the perfect embodiment of Imperial philosophy. It favors fear over function, as the immense craft is more a weapon of terror than a completely efficient combat vessel. Although its complex leg mechanisms do require constant maintenance and repair, the rugged walker does live up to its all terrain name, being able to plod through most obstacles. Industrial Light and Magic is responsible for their animation and design, often using models, stop-motion animation, and relevant matte paintings to depict their presence in the films.
Halloween costumes have been heavily influenced by the movie industry. Movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or even older classics like Star Wars. Star Wars has been around for over 20 years and still coming out with new. Outfits like Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and Yoda costumes are still sought after for they are impressive to the avid Halloweener!
Without a doubt, Star Wars is the ultimate sci-fiction movie of all time and it is also not surprising to know that many of their avid fans want nothing more than to be as close as possible when it comes to dressing up into becoming one of their favorite characters.
