why do they keep moving with a cable around their legs?whats the point of a pedal tank in a universe with gliding tanks anyways?
>>64362928
Something about snow or cold weather or minovsky particles blah blah space fantasy poop
Walkers are retarded and will never be in any modern military. Go play BF 2142 if you want to see why. The futuristic hover tank was 100000X better than the retarded walker due to it's better mobility.
>large vehicle is needed to supply energy to heavy blasters
>walker height gives increased range and FOV (target area)
>>64362928
I'm not autistic so this thought never affects my enjoyment of the film, but surely nuclear weaponry would have been developed at some point. Why not drop nukes on the rebel's strong points?
>>64362928
stop these threads! SW isn't about logic, it's just some fairy (jedi)tale in space for toddlers
>>64363038
>>Walkers are retarded and will never be in any modern military
They are working on military walkers right now, genius. Armed ones will follow, maybe not tank sized, but dog sized anyway.
>>64363038
that's because the controls sucked
>>64363147
maybe 4 meter sized AI ones?
>>64363147
Have you seen videos of these things? They are louder than lawn mowers. They are retarded and expensive.
how did he get up there?
>>64362928
Because SW military uses the old concept of "it looks intimidating" over being practical.
I suppose watching a giant walker come toward you is more scary than just a normal hover tank.
>>64363224
its a lift.
>>64363224
better question is what is he doing up there?
>>64363147
>>64363200
that and the army just said they cant use them because they are too loud, and give away their position.
they use a petrol engine that runs at full power all the time to power the hydraulics.
its loud
>>64363224
why does he have a spear?
>>64363200
Early models are always more expensive and "expense" doesn't seem to stop the military anyway. When battery tech improves you will see armed walking drones on the battlefield.
>>64363200
>Technology doesn't improve
You're an idiot.
>>64363339
>When battery tech improves
It isn't. So far the major thing holding science back is energy. No one has invented the battery that can power shit like Iron Man's suit for example. Until someone cracks that this will be impossible.
>>64363298
For tossing at TIE fighters.
>>64363116
For the same reason we don't use nukes today despite having them
>>64363267
He's in the union
>>64363267
he is keeping watch to make sure no one tries to reach the base on foot
Why where there starfighters and land walkers in jakku?
How come extremely powerful laser energy beams can't destroy them on Hoth, but logs can destroy them on Endor?
>>64363224
He got up there the same way the last guy did. By jerking off into Leia's blue milk and getting caught.
>>64364034
I don't remember the logs destroying AT-ATs, just some AT-STs.
>>64363298
One of two things
>creepy alien birds he can stab at
>he can throw it and it blows up like the boomsticks in fury road
>>64364225
I was referring to the AT-STs. The Hoth rebels couldn't do shit against them until they started harpooning them.
>>64362928
>those flapping doors
>>64363198
I can definitely see geckos happening in the next two decades, I wonder if cyborg ninjas will happen too.
>>64364225
there were no AT-STs on Hoth in the Movies; only in other Media - but not in the Movies.
>>64363224
It retracts??

>>64363116
They have shields.
Because back when they made the Empire Strikes Back they didn't have the idea to make gliding tanks and/or couldn't do the effects for them in the OT.
>>64364594
>>64364708
Extended Cut doesnt count.
>>64363200
>everything new needs to be perfect or it is shit for all time
Thing about that the next time you mom drops you off at school in her minivan.

that's a quiet lawn mower

watch the full video you fucking retard
>>64362928
Honestly, dude.
It just doesn't fucking matter at all.
>>64365500
He wasn't talking about the big one one faggot. He just BTFO'd you about a real life walker ever being less load than the big ones.
>95% of the vid was about the small ones.
Oh ya, you're a faggot.
>>64365296
But the guy in the article said it's in the original theatrical cut you dummy.
>>64364267
they harpooned the AT-AT's you fuckin autist, there was maybe 5 seconds of AT ST's moving around in Empire Strikes Back.
the at sts were the ones hit by logs in return
>>64362928
This didn't bother me half as much as how the Rogue Squadron games forced you to swap out your heavily armed armor-busting bomber for one of those stupid speeders so you could tie up the walker's legs.
>>64366060
wouldn't the planetary shields create a really low ceiling for them to operate in?
>>64366863
you could still operate at a good bombing altitude, or at least in the game.
>>64366060
>That frantic rush to destroy the research center to get the secret power up while protecting those shitty AT-TE's from AT-AT
>>64362928
To terrorize their opponent.
>>64365715
you're a fucking idiot if you think thats actual sound levels and not muffled to fuck
>>64362928
>whats the point
it looks neat
>>64363147
Not a weapons platform
