Actually, you're quite right. There's been loads of discrepancies with the '50
feet' measurement that Lucas originally gave. According to 'studies' done on
the film, they're closer to 75 feet tall (22.5 meters is the estimated height)
I forget the name of the web page, but there is one out there that lists all
the multitudinous discrepancies in the movies (the MF having 5 legs in 1 movie,
7 in another, etc)... Combined with that, a few other estimates, and my own
calculations, 22.5 meters makes a lot more sense. But the lego AT-AT is
actually *slightly* bigger, measuring at about 23 meters tall in minifig scale.
