Neat!

 

[disappoint]

He's got a great sense of humor. Too bad 90% of it is self deprecating because he has nothing better to do with his time than make a cheesy diorama of one of the cheesiest movies of all time. His time would have been better spent perfecting the best cheese pizza of all time. It would still be cheezy, but then you could eat it too!

Just kidding. I mean..er....Neat!

Do they have a tauntaun with it's stomach cut open?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hahahaha he said it was from Star Trek, guess to see if people would pickup on it.

That is freaking awesome.

the ATAT never made it that close while troops were still operating the defences.
The troops that challenge Solo & co were foot soldiers (as seen in the film).
Also, Lord Vader was nowhere near Hoth. So, meh.

Never shown choking a random trooper but he was shown on hoth.

 

[DaTT]

Awesome. But, the guy tries way to hard to be funny.

A Renegade squadron member was choked by Vader.

During ESB?

All it showed vader doing in hoth was walking in the base to watch the falcon escape.

Looks like EU junk to me.

About the diorama -- I LOVE it. :biggrin:

to this day I think the AT-ATs are the dumbest idea in any science fiction movie, other than Jar Jar.

Let's make huge walkers that are damn slow and are easy to spot and can be heard from miles around. Oh don't forget to put in an big weak spot so they can be destroyed easily.

With all the hovering vehicles in Star Wars, anything with legs or wheels is just kind of stupid.

We are talking about the movies.

Remember what AT-AT stands for.

The hover vehicles had many limits on height and weather conditions not to mention generally were more expensive I believe.

All Terrain armored transport, all terrain really??? How is that thing going to climb mountains or cross lakes or large rivers.

Plus they show all types of hovering vehicles and vehicles flying through the atmosphere in the Star Wars universe.

More expensive?? If they can afford a fleet of star destroyers and and a couple of death stars and can afford to blow up planets, they can afford a hovering cruiser that can carry troops into battle.

All terrain generally doesn't include bodies of water.

As for all the vehicles flying they are more likely ships as generally the vehicles referred to as hover vehicles only go a few feet off the ground for the larger ones so they can be a hazard when going over uneven terrain.

I just figured it was for the cool factor for the movie and intimidation factor for the Empire as it roflstomped people.

 

[VulgarDisplay]

Most effective form of birth control I have ever seen.

Have you even served with the Imperial forces? Sure it's easy to take potshots from your military blog in some no-name star system while the fleet and its legions fight the rebel insurgents, but combined space/air/ground operations are a lot messier than any infographic could ever portray.

Even with the Empire's full spectrum dominance of the battlespace, you can't just leverage fleet assets which are optimized for ship-to-ship combat into a large scale ground invasion force. A Star Destroyer might have more firepower than the entire militaries of less advanced worlds but you still need a proper ground assault ship to support infantry landings.

Unfortunately, the do-nothing blowhards in Coruscant couldn't get funding for the promising alternative designs from Sienar Fleet Systems and we ended up (as usual) with Kuat Drive Yards' overpriced, overdue, and underperforming AT-AT mess.

That is purely awesome!
