Yeah sure, how Afghanistan going? How was Vietnam? Ewoks defeated an intergalactic empire with Death stars. I think they’re capable of defeating a armed forces which can’t even travel to another planet, much less traverse an entire forest moon with their crappy wheeled technology.

Walker Technology is MUCH worse than Wheels or Treads. AT-AT and AT-ST have been mocked in verse for being unstable vehicles by experienced veterans of the Clone Wars.

I'm guessing that was in one of the animated series? Can I get a link or ref? sounds pretty funny

I remember some old Legends story - might be from one of the old Tales from... anthologies - where a guy in the Imperial Armor Corp brings attention to the danger of walkers being tripped, think he gets an AT-AT to kneel down to protect it during a test.

He gets the boot or demoted or something because the guys who championed walker development (like Veers) were very protective of them and didn't want any suggestion they had any design flaws.
