What if the Empire invaded modern day earth?

Since when does an AT-AT have unlimited fuel?

Since the tech level of SW made 'fuel' and 'fueling' obsolete.

Since when are they also immune to nukes?

Since nukes haven't got even a fraction (or, rather, have got only a small fraction) of the destructive and concussive power of turbolasers that had no effect on the AT-ATs.

And since when are you incapable of understanding that miles =/= kilometers?

Since I didn't have the quote available and was going off of memory? Since when have you been unable to identify a question?

wuznot it sixty mph?

*consults source material*

What do ya know? AT-TEs have enough fuel for '500 km (310 miles) walking' (ICS: AotC) while AT-ATs have no such limitation noted. In fact, except for a suggestion that AT ATs use hypermatter fuel slugs (which would suggest that AT ATs' power capacity is far higher than previously asserted) I can find nothing. I'd let this drop if I were you b/c if they do use hypermatter then I win. lotz.

How much do you weigh? Let's see who's the fatty...

These are all false claims. Since when does an AT-AT have unlimited fuel? Since when are they also immune to nukes? And since when are you incapable of understanding that miles =/= kilometers?

You don't often miss a chance to respond to me, so I wonder why you did here. Convenience? I'll repost:

Here's hoping you typo'd.

Since when do "turbolasers" have no effect on AT-ATs?

Also, apparently according to the Star Wars Encyclopedia (paraphrased):

The most vulnerable part of the walker was a weak point found at its flexible neck, which was susceptible to lighter blaster barrages. The legs were also somewhat unstable and could be tripped, leaving the walker defenseless [...] The AT-AT also lacked armor covering on its underbelly, leaving the spot vulnerable to mounted guns or portable missile launchers.
And don't ignore my rebuttals. I want an open concession.

They run out of fuel and/or their operators run out of supplies. At a peak speed of about 37 mph, they aren't going anywhere fast as is, and anyone outside an AT-AT is going to die before long.

QED.

[...]

You'll also explain how one hundred AT-ATs are going to safely cross oceans or maintain control of a few thousand square miles of territory, let alone the planet.

Nope. Just brain failed. that part was dumb and wrong.

Look @ 1:25, 1:49 "That armor's too strong for blasters."

How are the humans going to hit the AT ATs' weak spots with less maneuverable ships and non-Force sensitives

Supplies? You don't think the Empire will appropriate supplies from the countryside? If P. Sherman can do it then so will Tarkin.

That just about sums up your existence.

Where the **** is MC?

Those aren't turbolasers.

With lots and lots of weapons and no PIS.

There is no Tarkin... right?

And as soon as the Imperials step out to steal corn and bananas and pie, America blows them up.

QED ha

Ehm, what? You told other people to let this thread die, ergo 'not post here anymore'. If everyone has to say everything literally then this would be an annoying world.

I could explain why the other examples mean 'not post here anymore', but that'd require me to go back to my post.

These are the troubling questions I think about while high.

Those are troubling. But still nothing compared to the question 'what is the secret recipe of Coca-Cola?' Srsly, that can take hours.

Where the **** is MC?

Seconded.

Those aren't turbolasers.

They're still lotz moar pwrfl than our weaponz.

With lots and lots of weapons and no PIS.

I just don't think that we could hit the spot. Earth's your reach simply isn't long enough.

😈

There is no Tarkin... right?

His regulations and doctrines would still be in effect... right? A military force that can implement BDZ can surely figure out basic total war strategies planetside.

You people suck.

I'm going to Manhattan.

Manhattan smells. Try the Bronx.

Nah. Brooklyn has better pizza.

@Nemesis:

A bunch of made up still. WTF is "hypermatter" and how does it make the need for fuel obsolete? And if so, then why did Lucien/others claim that the Empire only having X amount of supplies was unfair the Empire didn't need supplies?

Tarkin? Tarkin isn't all that smart, and he isn't leading in this thread. Vader is.

And the AT-ATs' weak spots aren't all that hard to hit: the neck is pretty big.

I think he spoke out of context. Hypermatter is only used for starships and fighters.

Tarkin was smart.

WTF is "hypermatter"

The Empire's version of fuel.

how does it make the need for fuel obsolete?

Well, its energy output is sufficient to propel a ship into superluminal speeds. That sort of technology won't be seen on Earth until Star Trek happens.

Lucien/others claim that...[bich/moan]

Your options include:
[list]
[*]They didn't know about it
[*]They didn't think that ATATs use hypermatter
[*]This thread is a joke
[*]You aren't worth the effort
[*]They didn't know about it
[*]They didn't bother to check anything
[/list]
... among other things.

Tarkin isn't all that smart

Tarkin was smart.
Vader is [leading].

Vader is more ruthless and cruel than Tarkin. Why did you think that this distinction would disprove the Empire's presumed usage of total war strategies?

And the AT-ATs' weak spots aren't all that hard to hit: the neck is pretty big.

And yet weren't accessible to pilots with superhuman reflexes and superior/more maneuverable ships. Funny how that works.

Ruthless =/= smart.

1. Snowspeeders are SLOWER than F-22s.
2. It's obviously PIS!!!!!!! 🙄
