Walker

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

"These weapons of war would be awe-inspiring, were they not so terrifying."
―Supreme Chancellor Palpatine[src]
All Terrain Armored Transports on Jabiim.

A walker was any vehicle, usually military, that used legs as its primary method of locomotion rather than the more common repulsors, wheels, or treads. This term can also refer to especially large droids with legs (again, usually combat droids), though such droids are usually referred to using more specific terminology (such as "spider droid").

Behind the scenes

Walkers in other media

Star Wars has popularized the use of various walkers and mechs in various media, from various Japanese anime to strategy games like Command and Conquer. Most of these mechs bear resemblance to the AT-ST. Also, Japanese scientists have constructed a Land Walker which might have been inspired by Star Wars walkers.

Origin

George Lucas claims he got the original idea for walkers from the cargo lifters which reside in the port of Oakland.[1][2]
