I never got the “walkers” as a design concept— top heavy, exposed, slow.
What’s the tactical advantage, again?

They are like really big mounted police with death lasers

What I always think about when I try to think logically about Star Wars is this George Lucas quote

Best not to think too hard about it, they have faster than light
travel, but settle their differences with swords.

Are you saying that it took the AT-AT walkers to convince you that Star Wars doesn’t exactly follow good rules of physics, battle planning, reality, etc?

In-universe they’re less likely to get bogged down than a wheeled vehicle , and aren’t affected by local gravitational irregularities like repulsolift vehicles . Beyond that, Rule of Cool applies.

Only the Jedi do though. Everyone else uses blasters because they don’t have the midi- chlorian count to deflect blaster shots with a light saber .
Feels good to nerd out for a bit.

None really. Lucas could see the cargo docks across the bay in Alameda from his office window at Lucas Ranch. He got the inspiration from the cranes that winched the containers around. At least that’s the story I heard when I worked out there.

I always wondered how this design got past the “Human Factors Design Review” Team...

Yeah, the tragedy of the Disney buyout was the loss of Lucas’s planned Trequel of 3 films dedicated largely to the biochemistry of midi-chlorians... I’m sure it would have made riveting film history.
