The Growth Stages of an AT-AT

 

I’ve been wanting to take this photo ever since I noticed that my son has Star Wars AT-AT walker toys of all different sizes. 

I passed down the big vintage toy & Micro Machines to him, and he received the white Micro Galaxy Squadron toy for Christmas.

Having snow on the ground gave me the perfect backdrop for showing the AT-AT growth cycle. They’re so cute when they’re little… until they become full-grown war machines!

Here's the link to my r/starwars post 

My last post here was me & my son's Ultimate Star Wars Hoth Setup. Since it snowed, he wanted to take his Hoth toys outside. Once he got his setup together, I took some pics. They did look pretty cool in the snow!

 

 

 

 

 

The Ultimate Star Wars Hoth Setup

I've taken one of my periodic breaks from all social media interaction, mostly due to the fact that I feel completely drained from working and parenting my two awesome but wild-ass little kids! I try to devote the time I'm home to being present with my children. My son Paulie is already a huge Star Wars fan, & makes elaborate "setups" with action figures & vehicles. He loves The Battle of Hoth scene, especially the AT-AT and AT-ST walkers. I've given him some of my old Star Wars actions figures & vehicles to add to his collection. 

One cold winter Saturday, we decided to spend the afternoon making what he called "The Ultimate Star Wars Hoth Setup". After taking some pics & video, we had an epic battle of vintage toys - complete with snowspeeders, AT-ATs, taunauns, a lurking wampa, Rebel & Empire Hoth playsets, and a homemade "Shield Generator" that my son had the idea make from packing material. This ended up being my top Reddit post of all time in r/StarWars with a ridiculous 6k likes & 300k+ views. Paulie was so pumped up when I was telling him that people liked his setup. I always hoped my son would enjoy Star Wars, but I've got a full-blown fanatic on my hands!
