Got a good look at the new First Order version AT-AT & Star Destroyer for the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Star Wars put this up on Twitter & my first thought when seeing it was, damn, that AT-AT does look like a gorilla. The way this thing hunches over it probably has better balance than it's predecessors. It also has this look of an angry beast, extra cannon on the hunched back, red visor, you don't want to see these things coming through the trees. The AT-AT was coupled with this pic of what appears to be a First Order Star Destroyer. It's a little different than what we're used to seeing with the same triangle build from before. This time however, the tower of old is split in half & lowered across the whole of the back making for a smaller target head on. There's also a hole, or indention in the middle of the ship. Could be a hangar, maybe some sort of weapon? I'm curious to see if these modifications hold some sort of surprise or it's just ascetic to look cool. Won't know for sure until December. Until then, what do y'all think of these pics? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Last Jedi to Have Assault Gorillas?
Just a forewarning cuz I know how people get when it comes to Star Wars. This contains spoilers for the new Star Wars film "The Last Jedi". Nothing major, but if you're one of those people who don't want to know anything about anything Star Wars then you do not want to read this article. Okay so for those who made it further, Jason Ward, the editor-in-chief over at "Making Star Wars", was talking about how he briefly got to see the new AT-AT style walkers from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi". They're going to be called "First Order Heavy Assault Walkers. He describes it as having reinforced legs and it kind of sits with its back lower than its front making it from head-on look kind of light a broad gorilla. He noted that these were actually called "Gorilla Walkers" informally by some of the crew during the production of the movie. The classic AT-AT only comes up to the belly of the new walker which is not only taller, but wider than it's predecessor. He goes on to describe it looks "like a generation 1 Transformer was mixed up with a AT-AT and a gorilla." Looks basically like we're just going to keep on the trend of the First Order doing things bigger and better than the Empire of old. As we've seen with the new Tie Fighters and the Stormtroopers with flamethrowers from "Force Awakens". He said there will be a big sequence containing a lot of these metal beasts so I can't wait. I think that's one of the things that I've been most attracted to when it comes to these new additions to Star Wars is watching how how the actual mythical technology advances. Anyway what do you think, bigger better, giant, gorilla looking AT-ATs? Let us know in the comments and don't forget to like and share.
