"Chicken walker"? Does that really belong in Overview and not in Behind the scenes, since I've never heard of there being any chickens in the Galaxy Far Far Away?

  • Actually, in Star Wars Battlefront 2, one of the Rebel Smuggler's lines is, "Chicken walkers!" So, yes, this still belongs. Crowe 14:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Hey, there are dogs, cats, and ducks in Star Wars, so why not chickens? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 14:04, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Republic service?

Seeing as these guys faught in the First Battle of Gyndine, do you think that we should add the New Republic to the affiliation list?

[edit] Command and Conquer 3

Why is this little tidbit here? The only similarity between the AT-ST and the c&c mech is the bird like legs. There are a million other mechs that look a lot similar to the AT-ST than said mech, just play a game of MechWarrior. Also there is no evidence that the two machines are in anyway related. I doubt that the designers of the new c&c game had the AT-ST in mind, not to mention the fact that command and conquer has nothing to do with Star Wars. Leader 20:32, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

  • That's why I asked for an image in that note I added. Do you happen to have one? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 21:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Nevermind; I didn't check the article. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 21:20, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
      • It looks very similar to the AT-ST. Just change around the head a bit and voila! I don't know about you lot, but for me the similarity is more than noticeable. Unit 8311 11:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
        • Sorry, but no. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 12:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
          • Hmph. Oh yeah, and let me also point out that other C&C games have also had units similar to SW things: there was a GDI mech that beared more than a passing resemblance to the AT-AT, and in Red Alert 2 there was a thing called the Desolator which very similar to Darth Vader. Unit 8311 13:24, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
            • Well, that vehicle you provided an image of doesn't look like an AT-ST. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
              • Well, it does to me. You've got to admit, it at least bears a passing resemblance to the AT-ST. Unit 8311 12:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
                • Yeah, the legs bear a passing resemblance to the AT-ST. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 15:30, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
                  • As does the head. Well, if I can't put this in, could I put something in along the lines of 'there are many mechs in other sci-fi franchises bearing resemblance or homage to the AT-ST'? Unit 8311 13:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Silly removal of picture

I find it unbeliveable that the model from the films themselves is considered too poor-quality to be used as a profile image. Can't we please reinstate it? VT-16 21:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Are you serious? That fuzzy, low-quality image has no place in an article. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 23:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I darkened it and removed that atrocious NEGVV pic, secondary source pictures that can't follow the dimensions of movie vehicles, just won't do. If you want more clarity on the various parts, look at the schematics picture. VT-16 13:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
      • That's not good enough. If you can get a clearer, better-quality version of that image, we'll use it. Otherwise, we're not. —Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 13:58, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
        • The NEGVV picture wasn't that bad. Not as bad as that model picture, anyway...Unit 8311 18:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
          • In fact, if you want one from the movies, why not use this one? Unit 8311 18:07, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battles

  • Is the section about the battles necessary? Especially considering that it says they were first deployed during the Battle of Hoth, whereas they were first employed at the the end of the Clone Wars. Any thoughts before I remove it? Vryce 03:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Anyone? Vryce 06:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Saw this today, too. I suggest removing whatever is not confirmed by any source (either the employment in the clone wars or the "first use" on Hoth).
  • The ATST was first used on Hoth, as noted in the Star Wars Databank. It was an eailer model that was used before this conflict. What we should ask is if the earler moleds should be considered part of this page, in which case they should be added to the Battles section, made into a new page, or simply left in the history section.
    • Information from the Battles section could also be added into the History section, which seems to have some of the same information. Or the infomation in the History Secton could be moved into the battles section. What do you think?

[edit] Variations

  • In the new Star Wars Miniatures: The Force Unleashed expansion set, a "wookiee hunter AT-ST" is included. This miniature has a camoflauge paint job and what appear to be two "arms" from the sides which could be flamethrowers. Does anyone know anything else about this variant because including it in this article, or a link, would be appropriate in my opinion. Thanks. mrobviousjosh 19:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
  • It can be seen on one of the Force Unleashed concept art pictures. It's available on the game's webpage, I think. VT-16 21:01, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
  • I also saw some footage of the protagonist of Force Unleashed rolling up an AT-ST like a paper ball, wrapping the 'mech's limbs around the "head". It had the same hexagonal arms as some MechWarrior 'mechs, and I was wondering why it had arms. Is this another possible variant or did I just perceive the arms wrong? I am interested. 24.149.68.168 00:20, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I found it. I took a picture: http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/2903/variantio6.png They may just be beta wookie hunters, but they are a different one and I personally like them alot. They really do look like Mechwarrior weapons pods though--I redlined the shape of the pod. 24.149.68.168 00:35, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
