Im curious where this 15.5 meters comes from? In the attack on Hoth, I clearly see a much much larger AT-AT walking around. 15.5 meters means that we could have three of these beasts end to end in an olympic sized, pool... I would more closely estimate the length at one olympic sized pool (50m). I mean Luke flew circles around the legs of this thing! Anyone else have any thoughts here?
I personnally think that the height is more important. There's a shot in Empire when Luke uses the grappling hook on the underside of one AT-AT. Saying that Luke is around 6ft tall, I made a rough calculation. When I did this I came up with 86.25ft as the height of that AT-AT. Imperial spy

Why the Empire chose such vulnerable platform (the legs are its Achiles' heel) instead of very large tank or hovercraft? MathKnight 15:17, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
Because legs probably provide the support needed for the thick armour and heavy weapons, whereas the hover propulsion would probably end up being so great it would be more effective as a starship.
its just a movie... Lord revan 15:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
If they had tank treads it would be too easy to stop. Treads would come off too easily. Darth Bane
They use legs because this makes these vehicles tall. And shooting from above is more effective against infantry in trenches than shooting from ground level. 46.133.171.5 ( talk) 21:34, 6 February 2017 (UTC)Sobear
For years I've said "ay-tee-ay-tee" as many others I've heard say. Lately though, I've heard it pronounced "aat aat" (similar sound to att-ack) How is it pronounced?
In Star wars Battlefront 2 in "Rise of the Empire", on the last level they say,"Defend the att-atts!". Darth Bane -17 November 2006
Yes then again in Star Wars Empire at War, they are pronounced aay tee aay tee, I prefer to call them by what they should be called RoflOhLol ( talk) 21:32, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
I pronounce it "Imperial Walker". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.115.155.55 ( talk) 18:07, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
It's Ayy-Tee Ayy-Tee in the rogue squadron games. Ayy-Tee S-T would be the accompanying phoentic pronunciation. This is kinda obvious, and I'm surprised at how fiercely the fanbase continues to debate this!
Weird...ay-tee ay-tee sounds like 80 80!! It's always been att-att in UK. I think this difference is an English Americanism. They do tend to say the name of the letter in a word e.g. "eye-rack" for Iraq or "ay-rab" for arab rather than pronounce the word by its sound.21:03, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
according to the Time Magazine article, "How do you pronounce ATAT?" Lucasfilm's public relations dept states that it rhymes with, "hat hat." http://techland.time.com/2010/09/02/how-do-you-pronounce-at-at/
How the hell do they get these things down to the planet surface? Do they use some kind of dropship? - albrozdude 05:58, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
The first AT-AT to be destroyed by blaster weapons only exploded after it was tripped up and collapsed. Up until then, blasts that hit them were literally being soaked up. Shield generators are supposed to be quite heavy, but would that really be an issue with an AT-AT? HalfShadow 03:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure they didn't have shields, just very thick armour. Luke wouldn't have been able to cut open the hatch to throw the bomb in if it was shielded. 121.73.121.233 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 15:29, 8 August 2010 (UTC).
1) Careful with the POV words. There's no need to describe the weapons as 'devestating', just describe what they can do.
2) Heavy reflective armor? What? No speculation please.
3) Break up the sections more, the contents box shouldn't be waaay way down below like it is currently.
That is all. Tip your waitress. Lots42 02:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Considering the overwhelming in-universe-ness of AT-AT, AT-PT, AT-ST and AT-TE, I plan to create a new Walker (Star Wars) article and redirect those four to the new one within the next couple of weeks. I'm tweaking and, hopefully, finalizing User:Deckiller's rewrite/amalgamation of this article (merged with other All Terrain vehicle articles) now sitting at User talk:EEMeltonIV/Walker. Notably lacking are citations for merchandising and a 'graph on the AT-AT's depiction. Comments on suggested additions, sources, and copy-and-pastes from the existing articles that should be integrated into the rewrite are welcome at User_talk:EEMeltonIV/Walker. Thanks! -- EEMeltonIV 04:18, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

The Databank is simply wrong. We see AT-ATs at the same distance as Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, allowing for very accurate scaling, and the result is approximately 23 meters. We get another opportunity for scaling in Return of the Jedi when the AT-AT pulls up to the handrail at the Endor base; again the result is 23 meters. The movies are a much higher order of canon than West End Games' RPG statistics, which unfortunately someone decided to use for the Databank instead of more accurate sources. Source. Rogue 9 ( talk) 18:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I don't even see why any of this is an issue; the position that scaling is original research is absolute nonsense. It's simply citing the definitive original source, i.e. the movie itself. Rogue 9 ( talk) 08:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
Aren't you forgetting this one! RoflOhLol ( talk) 01:06, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
In the Cartoon Network Clone Wars series, Anakin and his fleet outflank one of Grevious' Droid fleets in an asteroid field by placing AT-TE's (I could be wrong on what exact type it is, but it is definitly one of the Republic's 4-legged Walkers) on asteroids, hidden from Grevious' view until he passed by them. First of all, it depicts them in space. Shouldn't that be included if they are armored enough to keep clones safely inside them, even in space. Second of all, the walkers have guns strong enough to take down one of Grevious' fleet ships. It seems like these details should be included in this article, but I need confirmation of what Walker model it was. Can someone help me please? The episode its from is Episode 6: Downfall of a Droid. You can see a clip of it here: http://theclonewars.cartoonnetwork.com/ Thanks! Cactus Guru ( talk) 23:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
There is no mention of the AT-IC (All Terrian-Ion Cannon). Here's a link about it on Wookiepedia:

Yes I know but it is talked about in such books as the complete Star Wars encyclopedia and the new essential guide to waepons and such. It describes it as being used for strategic positions. So it's at least worth a mention on this article. -- Victory93 ( talk) 00:40, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Well if you look at the Star Wars wikipesdia article above, it will tell what sources and references it comes from. -- Victory93 ( talk) 23:23, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
We'd like to know what the original AT-AT toy cost.
