News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[Disney Analyst]

The tree cover now planted right behind the rockwork (can see in Mint's current update) is amazing. I think Mickey and Friends may be pretty much blocked from view.

First Mint Crocodile's Twitter posting of the color-coded map, and now SILA's usual video update stricken ... it seems that as we move ahead from the dirt and rock-work phase of construction that Disney may be becoming more aggressive on containment.

BTW, quote from Mint Crocodile:

"
Now .. on Friday, I posted a picture of the Star Wars diagram layout on Twitter which I eventually deleted the tweet later that day. Now, I am sure the photo has circulated around the interent in some way.
Although nothing specific that hasn't been officially announced could be seen ( ie. names for attractions / shops / restaurants), I thought, and was suggested that it would be in the best interest that I not include it in the pictorial."

Ok! It's back! and she added some new scenes too

sure can't stop thinking about the similarities with AT-AT in those steel shapes

That is because they ARE AT-ATs.

Can I just say I hope everyone is pronouncing this correctly in their heads; It is an A-Tee A-Tee. NOT an at-at.

 

[Curious Constance]

It'll always be A-tee A-tee to me , but I think technically it might be at at.

I think it's a generational thing to call them AT-ATs. Back when there was only one walker, that's what we called them (though there were the AT-STs, but we called them "Chicken Walkers."
Now with the Prequels and Clone Wars the number of walkers has grown exponentially and yes, should be spelled out.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

At at is a dumb pronunciation that was popularized in the Rogue Squadron series of video games, although those were still cool games. I mean, you can't pronounce AT-ST that way, so...

I noticed the internet declaring these "life size." Are we sure about that? I mean, full scale? They're extremely large. I would expect something more along the lines of the walker in front of Star Tours at MGM Studios. I mean, in the movie, they're this big:



Luke Skywalker puppet for scale.

 

[The Mur]

If these are full size then the rebel ship that "tripped" it in ESB is really small ;-)

 

[britain]

Yeah, these look to be more like the size of the walker that Luke and Vader are next to on Endor. (The movies aren't super consistent with their size.)

That is a long standing debate. According to Nerdist, Lucasfilm PR confirmed back in 2010 the proper way of saying it as how it’s spelled: “AT-AT.”

No, we played with the toys long before there were Star Wars home video games

They are not full size. Look at the heads. Can you stick two guys sitting down inside of that and a third standing up inside? They are maybe a third scale.

They'll be known as Forced Perspective AT-ATs

Looking at them close up rise up in front of you, they are going to Huuugggeee!

 

[britain]

The text isn't mine, but this is the only image I can find. Like I said, a bit smaller than a walker you can easily fly under.

So... AT-ATs rising up... I'm trying to think of how fast that can actually happen... which makes me think this is not the climax to the ride (as some have been speculating).

Exactly, it's at at and here's the link

This fella might have some insight:

You can fly under that in a speeder that is only 1.5m x 5.3m. Snow speeders are not very big. Besides scale is not constant thing in movies. It's there for impression not actual size.
