The novels of the movies and the original radio dramas are also canon after the
movie in that order.

You say it would be 137 feet tall like it isn't about that. Watch 'Empire'
where luke "magna-grapling hooks" his way up to the body of the AT-AT. Assuming
luke is your average 6 ft. tall person the AT-AT would easily be 137 feet tall
by comparison.
