What I think is even more strange, is why do they model high
tech armored vehicles after bipeds and quadripeds? They have spacecraft
that can take off vertically, hover, and travel at light speed
yet they have Imperial Walkers? Little furry, aboriginal ewoks
can take these things down with vines and logs.
Must be because of nepotism or illegal kickbacks.
A relative of the Emporer must be in charge of the AT-XX manufacturer.
Or maybe related to someone in purchasing.
