| The 'Snow Walkers' attack! |
No longer on the far horizon distance (achieved offscreen by animation), the heavy-duty, heavily-armoured AT-AT Imperial Walkers rain down fire on the brave Rebel positions guarding their key power generator, in this great above image from ILM used in publicity for the film (The lead middle AT-AT has interior red-lighting in this posed and on screen scene- all of the Walkers were to have had this lighting but the idea fell by the wayside during post production). Note that in the above shot, energy blasters have been airbrushed on, whilst the two background Walkers are actually unmoving cardboard cutouts.
