Notable Deployments

The most iconic scene with AT-ATs: Imperial stormtroopers attacked Echo Base. Luke Skywalker used his harpoon as a springboard to perforate the AT-AT’s leg and bring it down with a tow cable.
Battle of Endor
AT-ATs were also deployed at the Battle of Endor, accompanying ground forces in their attack on the Rebel bunkers.
