The AAT is a Trade Federation vehicle that appears in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and other Star Wars media.
[39] The SPHA was referred to as "Clone Tank A" during production. [42], An Incom Corporation T-16 skyhopper appears in the background of the Lars residence in A New Hope, and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) races a skyhopper in National Public Radio's radio adaptation of that movie; a skyhopper also appears at the end of the Special Edition release of Return of the Jedi. The scale models originally created for the movies were made of plastic parts using the then-new method of vacuum forming. The video games Star Wars Episode I: Racer, Star Wars: Racer Arcade and Star Wars Racer Revenge are based on The Phantom Menace's podracing scenes. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. They also have light armour plating for protection against hand-held blasters, but there is little protection for the vehicles occupants. More heavy-duty bike used in environments of extreme cold. [61] Although mostly depicted through computer-generated imagery, a full-size mockup of the gunner's seat was created for a closeup of the tail gunner.[61]. During a swoop race, the racers do not race together on the same track, but separately.
The LAAT/s Gunship is an uncommon variant of the, Republic escort craft, often paired with heavier. [1] LEGO released an AAT model in 2001. The AT-AT also appears in a destroyed form in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, explained in the video game Star Wars Battlefront (2015) to be a residue of the Battle of Jakku, which was the Empire's last defeat and resulted in its dissolution. [1][2] George Lucas narrowed down the AAT's design after looking at two different drawings from ILM design director Doug Chiang - one tank-like and the other shaped like a flying spade - and deciding it would be interesting to combine the two together. [26][27] Lucas turned to footage of helicopter-troop deployment when conceiving the LAAT; the vehicle was originally labeled the "Jedi attack helicopter". The Republic assault gunboat appears in Revenge of the Sith. An 81-centimeter miniature was also built, and it was "crewed" by poseable puppets. Shortly before the film's climax, an AT-ST is commandeered by BB-8. This "snail droid" was originally designed for Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones for the climatic Battle of Geonosis, but they did not make it into the final cut of the film.
Mainline Assault ship used by the Grand Army of the Republic. See also: The Galactic Republic, Vehicles This article is a collection of Vehicles produced … [25], The Low-Altitude Assault Transports (LAATs) are Galactic Republic airborne attack transport and multirole-ground attack gunships that appears in Attack of the Clones, Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars: Battlefront, and Star Wars: Republic Commando, ferrying clone troopers, Jedi, and military hardware during battle. [40], These lightweight reconnaissance vehicles were based in-universe on civilian vehicles called airhooks, modified for greater performance and to be piloted by the Trade Federation's battle droids. It was often a red-orange color with each cockpit arranged in a "shoe-shape" with the glass being on the "tongue" of the cockpit. [citation needed], Droid gunships appear at the Battle of Kashyyyk in Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Battlefront II. These vehicles were designed to screen and protect the flanks of slower moving AT-ATs and the larger tanks used by the Empire. They consisted of two large wheels with a low-fixed base that had two glowing red optical receptors and two large missile boxes to store its large arsenal of heat-seeking missiles, which glowed purple as they traveled through the air. It was large and towered over many infantry units in battle. Landing craft created for military deployments. Modified forms appear in The Last Jedi (used by the First Order to attack Resistance forces in a former Rebel base). Main infantry transport for the Grand Army of the Republic. Notoriously unstable transport sledge, with extensive weaponry. Like the larger Confederate spider droid it has four legs, but this droid seems to have two optical receptors. Heavy strike ships, replaced soon after deployed due to their sluggish engines. However, they are still modified civilian landspeeeders, and prove relatively useless against Trade Federation tanks. Multipurpose escorts, usually paired with.
Landspeeders are antigravity vehicles that appear throughout the films and Expanded Universe in both civilian and military roles. [50] Kenner re-released an updated version utilizing the same mold in 1995 for their new 'Power of the Force' line. The Expanded Universe describes the LAAT as a versatile multi-role aerospace crafts capable of reconfigured for the gunship, transport, starfighter, and bomber combat roles. Shuttle favored by senators and diplomats.
When given voice modulators, they are put to use policing potentially rebellious worlds owned by the Corporate Alliance as well as to crush civilian insurrections.
Standing over 20 metres (66 ft) tall with blast-impervious armour plating, these massive constructs are used as much for psychological effect as they are for tactical advantage.[6]. Snowspeeder models and replicas have been merchandised by several companies. Hasbro's Star Wars Transformers line included a Snowspeeder that transformed into Luke Skywalker.
Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) enters and wins a podrace in The Phantom Menace.
Its main chassis was rounded and brown, while the wheels had ridges and were a gray shade. [48] Expanded Universe material states that the Y-wing cockpit and other features were donated to the airspeeders. Sandcrawler-related merchandise include a Lego model,[34] card game items,[35][36] and Hasbro and Micro Machines toys. They are larger, heavier counterparts to the NRSF Flash Speeders, and are used mainly for skirmishes against pirates and smugglers. [60] The addition of a rotor came late in production; some printed works do not depict this component. [32] A 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2), 60-foot (18 m)-tall full-scale sail barge set was erected in Yuma, Arizona; it was one of the largest Star Wars sets created. [1][21] Lucas requested the MTT have locomotive-type qualities and be capable of knocking down everything in its path; consequently, the MTT has battering rams and locomotive components. It used hydrostatic bubble shields to keep the cockpit and cargo areas dry and filled with air. Lightly armored troop transports, used in neutral drop points. [18] These ships were originally intended to appear in the movie's opening space battle, but were ultimately depicted as aircraft. [12] West End Games based their "HAVw A5 Juggernaut" design on Johnson's sketches. [3], The AAT is a battle tank that floats above the ground thanks to anti-gravity "repulsorlift" technology and can achieve a top speed of 55 km/h (34 mph). [49] The playable snowspeeder in Star Wars: Battlefront II is armed with concussion missiles and small tow-cable launcher. Powerful assault craft, used to great effect against Droid forces. [2] The final version's forward curve is based on the curve of a shovel, and parts of it are intended to suggest animalistic traits. The unusual vehicles consist of two separate pods connected together, one for a pilot and the other for a gunner. [22], Fictional background for the MTT explains it was originally produced by Baktoid Armor Workshop, the same manufacturer of the Trade Federation's AAT. [42] A full-size skiff was built alongside the sail barge in Yuma. Minor patrol and support craft used in obscure sectors of Republic Space. [42] It was modified to be a nautical-type vehicle, and then transitioned to become more utilitarian. As with the AAT, parts of the MTT are intended to suggest animalistic traits. These Spider Droids were designed to provide more agile artillery in the battlefield. The following is a list of fictional Star Wars terrestrial vehicles, including armoured fighting vehicles, military aircraft, and naval ships. [41] A draft of The Phantom Menace refers to the vehicles as STAPS, or Single Troop Armed Pogo Sticks. Used primarily as a diplomatic vessel, particularly by. [28] The craft's engine sounds are the modified sound of a Vickers Vimy, a World War I bomber. Light interceptors utilized early in the Clone Wars. [8] The name Scout Walker is also used to refer to an AT-ST.
The vehicle was initially design on treads, but Lucas suggested that it be equipped with legs like the AT-TEs that fight alongside it. Each racer gets timed individually and the times are compared after the event to determine the winner. The base of the tank also incorporates six energized projectile launchers which can fire a variety of ordnance including armor-piercing warheads or high-explosive "bunker-busting" shells. Speeder bikes first appear in a chase scene in Return of the Jedi, and later in the prequel trilogy. It was frequently gambled upon and was considered by many, including Qui-Gon Jinn, to be a dangerous sport. Both Hasbro and Lego released LAAT models in 2002; Lego released another LAAT in 2008. The larger, more heavily armed vehicle that appears in Revenge of the Sith is labeled "HAVw A6". The cluster of semi-rigid electromotive tentacles at the submersible's rear could propel it to a top speed of 85 km/h (53 mph).
World Devastators appear in the Dark Empire comic series and the Star Wars: Rogue Squadron video game. [29][30] Code 3 Collectibles released a die-cast gunship two years later. This category is for vehicles. Although floating above the ground on heavy-duty "repulsorlift" engines, the MTT is a lumbering vehicle with a top speed of only 35 km/h (22 mph).
[44] However, this design was scrapped for the T-47, which featured no elements from previous craft. Enormous troop transports used sparingly in contested territories. Commonly used as the flagship of Jedi Commanders. Phased out for the much more versatile. Kenner released a toy snowspeeder in 1980. "Snowspeeder" redirects here.
[44] Johnston's designs for the Snowspeeders have influenced later Star Wars designers, such as Tommy Lee Edwards. [9] This design replaced earlier concepts that depicted the Gungan vessel as an organic-looking diving bell.
