"At a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Alderaan.  But now, you will witness it's DISMEMBERMENT!"

Sorry, had to do it.

Okay, back to TESB and ROTJ wishes....

I hate to flog this horse yet again, but I bought the new Hasbro AT-AT today.  It is HUGE and very well made.  It has a red front viewport, and one of the phrases the AT-AT commander says is "Forward deflectors at full power."

I know it's just a toy, but there you have it.

Then again, here's the StarWars.com description from the Databank:

The All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT walker, is a four-legged transport and combat vehicle used by the Imperial ground forces. Standing a towering 15 meters tall, these walkers are intimidating, and are used as much for psychological effect as they are for tactical effect.

An AT-AT has blast-impervious armor plating, and resembles a gigantic beast as it moves across the battlefield. An AT-AT's head carries the main armaments, a pair of light blasters located on the walker's "temples," and heavier, twin laser cannons mounted on the walker's "chin."

The command crew pilots the AT-AT from the walker's head, which is connected to the main body by a flexible neck. The crew consists of a commander, a gunner, and a pilot. Additional crews and troops can be carried in the walker's main storage bay.

Looks like this is a case of "choose your canon."
