I remember in pre-release videos and pictures seeing a full blown AT-AT (All Terrain Attack Transport) walking around. This thing was HUGE! In the video they had it walking the sands of Tatooine and for a size comparison they stuck a Krayt dragon next to it. It dwarfed the dragon, which if you’ve played Star Wars Galaxies you know how big the dragons are.
In development of the game, I was imagining being able to actually use AT-AT’s and AT-ST’s as vehicles to move around the planets or use them in combat. The AT-ST made it into the game as a pet that you could command around, which was okay I suppose. Not at all the way I envisioned it in production. The AT-AT never made it into the game at all. Apparently there was a problem with it walking on slopes that was just never fixed, so one of the icons of the original Star Wars movies was left out of the Star Wars universe. I haven’t played SWG in a while, but I doubt this ever made it in as post release seems to have introduced relatively very little free content, not counting the expansion sets which you had to pay for.

No shit? I’d love to see this in game. I haven’t played in awhile but I’m thinking of putting up a GameZig.com SWGEmu server when the coding is done. So a free to play, pre-CU SWG server.
Anyone interested?
