I think we need to think twice about changing those AT-AT driver's hemets, look at this http://web.ukonline.co.uk/bingo275/original%20atat%20helmet.htm

Just add the red stripe or take it off: it's pretty obvious that it's the same cockpit and it would just be consistent. Do whatever is easier but just keep it consistent.

Yes, very nice. Thanks, Sev. :)

And nice to hear your thoughts on the number of AT-ATs, Ady. It does seem like more of a 'crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke' kind of arrogance only sending a few AT-ATs to get rid of all the Rebels.

With all due respect, that's a load of BS. Again, if the Empire is going to send a Super Star Destroyer and 10 to 12 regular Star Destroyers, why send an army of "5 friggin AT-ATs"?!?! Why not send ONE regular Star Destroyer ala the beginning of ANH if the Empire is that overconfident?

And how I ask can you "crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke" with 5 AT-ATs? That's like knocking down Mike Tyson with one swift stroke... from Gary Coleman!

Look, I understand the visual clutter issue, but if the Empire has an ARMY they are going to use it. 5 AT-ATs does NOT constitute an army! Now what you CAN do to rectify that is another issue. Also, if you want just 5 AT-ATs, that's what the OT is all about and Ady's HD torrents. Granted, there has to be some logic to whatever changes are made, but I thought the whole point of this was to have fun and go for the gold when it comes to "special editionalizing" these things?

Think of it this way: when D-Day happened, did we send 5 landing craft or 500? Forget about visual impressiveness (which the Empire would do, being that they kinda did it with Death Star 1 and 2 and a giant, frikken Star Destroyer over 10 miles long), the Empire is not going to take a chance on the group of teenagers that blew up the Death Star.
