Lego Star Wars Review Set 7675 At-Te Walker

Author: Inger Fountain

The Star Wars Lego set 7675, the AT-TE walker is the second time Lego has produced this particular star Wars vehicle.  The first version, set 4482, came out in 2003 a year after the release of Star Wars Episode Two Attack Of The Clones. It is featured in that movie and in the Star Wars Clone Wars television series, from which this latest Lego incarnation of the vehicle has been taken.

The All Terrain Tactical Enforcer is a walker that was developed to support the Grand Army of the republic and became the precursor to later walkers including the AT-AT. Lego's version of the walker is impressive and comes with a STAP vehicle that the separatist battle droids rode in the Clone Wars movie to battle AT-TE walkers on Teth.

The walker model measures 15'½" (39cm) long and 8" (20cm) high and playable features include positionable legs that spring back to position, movable cannons, firing missiles, armored hatches and cockpit that open to reveal the cabin and troop bay inside.

The top panels lift up and troopers can sit inside while the cockpit can be opened to place in a single figure. Another gunner can sit on the top to rotate the cannon and behind him there is a small handle that can be used to pick up the vehicle or attach it to the Dropship (set 10195).

The minifigures include Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano, Jabba The Hutt's son Rotta, Clone Captain Rex, a regular clone and a battle droid. The Commander Rex is exclusive and has not appeared in a set since.

While not quite as playable as the Republic Gunship it has a lot of character and young fans will enjoy replicating the scenes from the TV series.  It looks good as a display model and will fit well into battle scenes and dioramas.

    What’s the name of a pirate ship 3D board game with firing cannons from the 70s?
    I had this game that I loved, but can’t remember the name so I can’t look for online. It had a large 3D plastic game board with mountains spread across the middle and plateaus on the end. On each end there was a cannon and you aimed it and fired marble sized cannon balls at your opponents ships. The object was to move the ships to the other side of the board without them getting sunk. Whoever had the last ship left won. At first the moves are easier as you hug the mountains to hide, but then you have to cross open spots where you were a sitting duck. I think each side had 4 ships, red or black plastic and the board was rather large – maybe 4 feet long by 3 feet wide. I remember a Captain Morgan type on the box…

    What is the techno song that goes something like “firing up bass cannon….. fire.” in the beginning?
    The beginning of the song has a very deep and eery voice, and it says something about the world ending, and you have to pass a test. hopefully you know what im talking about!

    How do you fire he cannons on poptropica?
    I am trying to fire the cannons to hit the golden tooth. I already have the starter kit, but the cannon always goes to low. How do I control it????
    Oops in the title I meant the cannons not he cannons!

      have you seen that barrel of explosives that you can push around? put it under the tooth and then fire the cannon next to it.

    Are farts caused by Butt Pirates firing cannons inside of me?
    Someone told me Butt Pirates like to get in people’s bums, and I figure they sail my insides and fight all the evil gerbils that I already stuck up there

    • GQ McGee says:

      Yes. If you put your face by your butt and breathe in deeply when the cannon goes off, you may be able to catch one of the pirates. This will only work if you sniff in a public area.
