We won’t tell anyone if you hum the Imperial March while your pupp-AT is on the move.
You can make your own AT-ST marionette puppet in real life even if you’ve never worked with wood before — or been to the Outer Rim! Turn wooden toy blocks into an Imperial walker with glue, a few tools, and a lot of elbow grease. Just don’t leave it out around any unsupervised Ewoks.
This project is not intended for children.
