Lets talk all things Star Wars

I thought the ARC Troopers were Tartovsky, for the '02 Clone Wars microseries (Dark Horse later showed us a different take). It was some time before Hasbro gave us action figures of those, and years more before yet a different version showed up as canon in the Clone Wars regular series.

From Wookieepedia.

"According to Genndy Tartakovsky on the Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume Two DVD commentary, the design of the ARC troopers came from Hasbro."

According to Rebelscum, the Hasbro ARC troopers were released in 2003. Made in a live action style.

Interesting. I wonder how many of the designs/characters he was given versus came up with...

You are correct sir, I had to look at the bottom of the ARC troopers foot and indeed it is stamped 2003.

The number might or might not surprise you.

Interesting discussion, I always thought this too!

Came across this today. This piece of concept art uses the ESB "Hoth" AT-ST.

That concept shot begs a question - why weren't the Empire's walkers (and other equipment & armor, etc) wearing decent camo colors for the environments? Even if they weren't fully detailed up, at least they could have been painted brown or olive green on Endor instead of light grey.

The light gray AT-ATs on Hoth weren't ideally colored for the snow, but that light gray was was less offensive to the concept than the ROTJ Endor stuff.

I suppose it's for the same intimidation factor of having stark while armor for the Stormtroopers. Heck, even the scouts wore bright white armor.

Then again. I'd love to see Imperial walkers done up in the kind of camouflage the German WWII tanks were.

Someone had a pic of one on Facebook recently, unfortunately, I don't remember what page I saw it on though.

As far as we've seen, the Rebels really didn't have anything to stop walkers. I doubt Rogue One was the first time Rebels met walkers, but they were pretty confident those shoulder launched rockets would damage those AT-ACTs. Assuming that most of the Imperial walker losses were from randomly improvised Rebels tactics (traps, explosives, Snowspeeders) along with starfighters/gunships, they wouldn't really need to worry about camouflaging them.

By the time of the Alliance, the Empire had a near solid control of the Galaxy, and with the Death Star nearing completion, was almost ready to simply sweep away the Senate and place the Death Star at the center of Galactic control. However, earlier in the Empire's reign, pre-Alliance time, we knew that the Empire still had trouble maintaining a presence on some systems such as Mimban, which had been a pain in the butt since the Clone Wars. We know that the Empire had to specialize their troops for fighting on Mimban, so it'd be cool to see the walkers the Empire used done the same way. AT-ATs and AT-STs with a muddied paint job and wider pads, for instance. It's easier to imagine that some planetary defense troops would be hypothetically better equipped than the Alliance was.

Another cool thing I came across. What might the Colin Cantwell Y-wing look like brand new with its armor plating intact?
