Detailed Visual Analysis

AT-AT Driver

General Analysis

The AT-AT Driver is a figure I distinctly remember in my youth. It was cool imaging how this “Stormtrooper’s” armor was changed to become an AT-AT Driver. As young Star Wars fans, we often compared the various members of the Galactic Empire to each other and itemized the strikingly similar characteristics between them. The AT-AT Driver was a much-needed figure if you owned the Imperial AT-AT. And many of us acquired multiple AT-AT Driver action figures to populate the massively large vehicle. Loved the AT-AT Driver’s weapon and how he was able to wear it over his shoulders when not in use. His hands weren’t too functional, unfortunately. So I found him most useful at the steering wheel of his exclusive mode of transportation. The AT-AT Driver was barely seen in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, so Kenner used a promotional image which looked a whole lot like a costume-fitting to use for the figure’s card back. Even stranger, the Tri-Logo version received heavy alterations which “erased” most of the detail in the chest armor. A great figure, the AT-AT Driver remains a favorite for me from the vintage Kenner line.
