The Empire Strikes Back | AT-AT shot compilation.

[@BDNeon]

1:27 It's amazing to me how they manage to give the illusion of the sheer mass of that miniature with like the speed at which it falls and the impact. That's a lost art, right there.

[@edd4816]

Physical models definitely have the edge over even the best cgi in this way. I'd hazard a guess that they filmed the miniature falling with a high frame rate, then slowed it down when playing it back to create that impression of size and mass

[@girl1213]

Sadly time = money in the movie and film industry. That's why CGI was invented and it's done wonders, but then you watch old style like this and realize something had to be lost.

It's not a smooth motion, but you know the old style actually conveys the sheer weight of the machine just by how unsmooth it walks. You know on a visual scale this thing is meant to be massive, but it's movement just drives it home when its own legs struggle to keep its heavy mass up where it is otherwise there'd be a lot more of 1:27 this.

I recall reading that in one of the Star Wars films, the Imperial Walkers were animated by the incredibly tedious process of an employee under the floor opening a trap door, making one slight movement to the walker's legs, returning to the under-floor space, waiting for that change to be photographed and repeating many times.

[@CoolPandaTheMovieNerd]

"Its armor is too strong for blasters!" Minutes later he shoots lasers at the head and it blows up.

[@richardched6085]

Whatever shield System the AT-AT had that made it immune to Blasters was rendered useless or was disabled when the Walker tipped over. The crash probably cracked the neck open enabling a well placed Blaster volley to enter the Walker itself and detonate close enough to it's Fusion Reactor causing such a large explosion. Luke did a similar thing by throwing a Grenade into the Troop bay which did enough damage to completely obliterate the head of the Walker but not enough to do the same to the main chassis. And Lightsabers can cut through pretty much anything so....

[@ammovies9801]

The neck is the weak point, atleats that's what wikipedia says

[@k-874]

They aim for the neck which is the almost no armor part of the AT-AT, the reason no other AT-AT blows up by getting shot in the neck is because the pilots always cover the neck by facing the heavily armored head to the direction of the Airspeeder shooting the neck since it has enough range to completely cover the neck, so when the AT-AT are immobilized and completely disabled, the neck is fully exposed and they have no way of covering it using the head so, free kill...

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

My theory is that it's not the cannons that made the AT-AT blow up but its reactor.

[@minicle426]

I always assumed the impact of its own weight weakened the structural integrity? You can see hatches/plates coming loose when it crashes down.

[@blam320]

A mechanized walker would have a sophisticated system designed to redistribute weight while it's in motion. It probably overcompensated for movement which unexpectedly halted.

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

Always wondered how the AT-AT's managed to land on the planet Hoth? Not suggesting it's some kind of plot error, but it would have been cool to see in the movie, landing on the planet in some giant ship then walking out.

[@aygwm]

There is a little flying ship like the LAAT that airdrops it

[@DevineAbyss]

You have to remember how truely massive Stardestroyers are in the Star Wars universe. Even those things beeing 30m tall are tiny dots inside an empire Stardestroyer. Considering how they land and lift, that was never explained in the official movies. But it's easy to imagine having booster rockets attached or small landing vehicles just for the job. In episode 1-3 we see transporters that unpack and unload hundreds or thousands of human side droids each. It is not far fetched to imagine something similar for ATATs. These legs also look like they could be folded, making the transport even easier.

[@MrKey6682]

@@DevineAbyss the atat gets airdropped from a carrier. It is shown in Star Wars rebels. (Link goes here)

The Empire has dedicated transport craft designed to deliver AT-ATs two at a time. They're similar to the LAAT Gunship variants which dropped off AT-TE walkers in Episode 2 and The Clone Wars.

Yes its iconic and really fucking awesome, but man a lot of you have to realize that the special effects and all that arent perfect. The stop motion is choppy yet impressive for its time, but there is zero chance that its “master cinematography” or any of that. People use the cgi to attack to prequels so its only fair bring up the original trilogy’s effects, ya know? I mean you can literally see a stick coming up from bottom of the set to knock over the AT-AT at 1:28

What is it with you guys.... can't anybody show how Veers's AT-AT goes down ?... i know it was smashed by a Snow Speeder but no body seems to be willing to show this particular part.

Veers AT-AT was shown to survive at least until the shield generator was destroyed. We can assume that he made it off of Hoth after his successful mission.

It's because that scene doesn't exist you fool. While it is canon how some speeder smashed into Veers's walker, that scene was never recreated in this movie.

It was scripted but from what I've read (IE Julian Glover making mo mention of ever having filmed the scene) it doesn't exist on film.
