With a new Star Wars film on the way, along with it comes a fleet of new vehicles, as today's episode of The Star Wars Show gave glimpses of. Both of these vehicles will be utilized by The First Order and both are clearly inspired by vehicles previously used by the Empire.
The above vehicle, the AT-M6, is clearly inspired by the AT-AT that quickly became a fan-favorite vehicle after debuting in The Empire Strikes Back. The new vehicle continues the tradition of being capable of covering all terrains, earning its name of "All-Terrain Megacaliber Six."
While looking similar to the AT-ATs, the AT-M6 has a few differences, which the hosts pointed out.
These vehicles are promised to have firepower that's "way bigger than a standard AT-AT," earning itself the "megacaliber" name.
Another difference, as you can see above, is the difference in the vehicles front legs. Despite how cool the AT-ATs are, their rigid legs made it easy for Snowspeeders to wrap up their legs, causing them to fall. These AT-M6s, on the other hand, feature a "simian-like gait," which will apparently make them less prone to tipping over.
While it might be similar in appearance to many other Star Destroyers, the First Order Dreadnought wouldn't take kindly to those comparisons. The potential Mega Star Destroyer measures out to be over 25,000 feet long, which totally dwarfs the standard Star Destroyers that are only 5,000 feet long. Both of these ships, however, are nothing compared to the Super Star Destroyer, which is over 60,000 feet long.
We'll see even more of these new vehicles when Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15th, 2017.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the second film in the new Star Wars sequel trilogy that began with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. The film will deal with Luke training Rey to become a, and possibly the last, Jedi. Meanwhile, the Resistance, including Poe Dameron and First Order defector Finn, continues to fight against the First Order, led by General Hux, while Supreme Leader Snoke and his Dark Side follower Kylo Ren continue their mysterious plot. The film is written and directed by Rian Johnson and stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Gwendoline Christie, Andy Serkis, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran.
