Actually, there's some discrepancy on that... the first time that Lucas was
aware of the problem was when Kenner approached him about the AT-AT toy they
were making, asking how in the world troops de-barked from the vehicle...
Lucas' reply: "I don't know!"... So some people decided they'd have to derive a
method... some sources say it kneels and lowers long ramps out for troops, and
some say they decend on zip lines out the sides... Personally, I like the zip
lines idea better... plus I don't have to make my AT-AT kneel! :)
