Star Wars Becomes a Reality in Japan

To start , Somebody has been watching Star Wars way too much.

All Terrain Scout Transports (AT-ST) were featured extensively in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Japanese engineers (at a company called Sakakibara Kikai) are building real AT-ST two-legged walkers. They call their invention the Land Walker.

The Land Walker is a one-man two-legged walker transport. It's 3.40 meters (11 feet) in height. Its two air cannons fire rubber balls. They retail for 37.8 million yen (around half a million USD).

No word if they have any plans to build full sized All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) Walkers.
