Zoboomafoo, in Concept art for AT-ST, by Joe Johnston

I’m not going to go back and check, but as I recall the AT-ATs only ever moved one leg at a time in the film, I guess they couldn’t get two to work

They have a natural elephant-like walk cycle, but they do move slowly which might give the appearance of one leg at a time if you aren’t looking too closely.

Wait wait wait!

Is that concept art suggesting that the AT-ST is the main vehicle and the four-legged version is an AT-ST with a trailer hitched to it?

No, unfortunately I’m pretty sure the comic I got this from just squeezed in some unrelated concept art onto the page. I’ve found what looks like a scan of the original sketch that doesn’t have that box. The original sketch also isn’t shaded, so I figure the comic do a little bit of adjusting for their presentation.

Looks an awful lot like an AT-PT

I thought that at first too! Then I went and actually looked at an AT-PT again. Aside from the vague shape of the vision slit area/cockpit windows, the AT-PT doesn’t really take anything from this concept. That thing is a refrigerator on legs. The concept AT-ST really looks elegant and graceful.

maquise,

True, but the AT-DP on the other hand is basically just this concept redone.

@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, that’s exactly it, right down to how the feet socket into the legs. I haven’t kept up deeply with Disney produced canon. This looks like it showed up in the Rebels cartoon a few times? I know that show has used other old concept art and reintroduced it.

Zahille7,

That’s exactly what that is. We can honestly thank Filoni and Favreau for bringing somewhat obscure Star Wars lore and concepts to the new canon.

In Andor they specifically mention the Rakatan Empire from before the Old Republic.

I love this game. It’s what got me into board games back in high school.

One of the many games I haven’t gotten a chance to try out. The idea of throwing heroes from different eras against each other looks neat.

Yuper,

Have you tried the phone game Star Wars galaxy of heroes?

Is it a “Twing” or a “Xie”?

@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Wookipedia calls this particular layout a “TYE-Wing” but I think that’s just putting an official sounding name on a hodgepodge ship build.

Very Cool!

Weren’t these featured in I, Jedi?

Or one of the Wraith Squadron books?

I vaguelly recall reading an Expanded Universe novel featuring those craft any how. Written by Michael A. Stackpole with Kieran Halcyon as a leading character.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know of at least a few EU works that various uglies showed up. TIEs were widespread surplus that were low cost to modify after the Empire fell, and a lot of them ended up in use by criminals and planetary defense forces.

thorcik,

Yep, “I, Jedi”.

It was one of my favourite EU books

DragonTypeWyvern,

That feel when Disney easter-egg canonized your favorite EU character.

That feel when you realize it probably means he died to Darth Emo and a sidenote goon squad in the offscreen Academy purge while Luke cried in a corner or something.

I always wanted to see a TIE Defender rebuilt by the B-Wing builders. Like, the new Republic gets the Defender plans, and builds their own version.

Is that from Lost in Space movie from the 90s?

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. I always thought it looked like the Cooler B-Wing.

AGD4,

Oh yea! Such a badass and tragically short scene. Almost out of place for that film.

Dude must be hella blind to have to get that close before reporting.

DigitalGemini,

He was probably looking at his phone.

Christopher Judge has the perfect voice for a reference to Darth Vader. 😄

That ending though! Didn’t see that coming!

bamboo, in CLONE WARS: BATTLE OF THE HEROES - A Star Wars Fan Animation by HELLO THERE Production

That scene in the beginning was amazing. I never felt that Anakin and Obi Wan’s relationship was shown as brotherly in the prequels, but TCW changed that. Adding this scene makes the fight way more impactful than it was in the movie.

Baaron87,

I’m glad that was added. If you haven’t seen that before it was actually from an unfinished episode of TCW. I’m sure the unfinished episodes are still floating around the net somewhere.

Yeah, TCW added a lot of depth and weight to important moments in the prequels. The opening scene adds a ton of depth with the foreshadowing

It definitely wasn’t clone wars season 7 quality but you can’t expect that from a fan project however for a fan project it was fantastic quality.

Was really cool to see the full fight and not cutting back and forth between this and Yoda v Palpatine.

Baaron87,

Agreed on both points. The animation may not have been season 7 quality, but for a fan project it definitely did a fantastic job.

I enjoyed watching the full fight uninterrupted with jump cuts between Yoda and Palpatine removed. I did like seeing some of the minor additions to the fight and thought using voice lines from the lego Star Wars games was a great choice (didn’t feel out of place).

The only issue I had was with the lightsaber choeography. It was well done for a fan project but there were some parts that didnt feel right in the execution.
