“LOOK GUYS IT’S IMPERIAL WALKERS JUST BLOWING UP THEIR OWN BASE FOR NO GOOD REASON”
When are they ever depicted destroying their own buildings? They’re taking shots at enemy troops.
Plinkett nailed this in one of his recent videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9-vP7kJheI“The use of AT-ATs was purely fanservice, because when your own base has been infiltrated by rebels, you don’t use a scorched-earth, non-precision tac vehicle to attack them. You’re going to blow up you’re own ****. Who is their military tactician, Ray Charles?”
They aren’t AT-ATs. They’re AT-ACTS:
A larger version of the standard combat AT-AT, the AT-ACT walker features a dedicated cargo bed for the transportation of heavy building materials or combat munitions. It was deployed at major Imperial construction projects, such as shipyards and sprawling research installations.
“LOOK GUYS IT’S A DROID TELLING US ABOUT THE ODDS AGAIN”
Yeah, that’s what droids do.
Says who? R2 and BB8 don’t tell people the odds. “Come on Red” didn’t tell Luke or Uncle Owen the odds about anything before he blew his bad motivator. That one droid in the Jawa crawler didn’t tell anyone the odds about anything. There was that little droid on the Death Star that just ran away from Chewie.
Yeah, you might want to rethink this idea you had.
