In the great war between the Rebellion and the evil Empire, there were casualties on both sides that cannot be counted. Suffice it to say that each contender made a mark on the other, swapping lightsaber wounds for blaster scars, neither willing to admit defeat until the final moment when a penitent Darth Vader threw a merciless Emperor down a plasma-filled reactor shaft.
That’s not to say there weren’t wastes of other things, as well. X-Wing fighters were turned into interstellar scrap, Death Stars became debris fields, and AT-AT walkers were shown to not be as invincible as once thought.
This model, by Dimitri Kaliviotis is an excellent example of just such ruin, and is one of the coolest things I’ve seen this year.

I hate to admit it but that is the pimp shizzy! Your wrong though. The emperor did not die when darth Vader threw him into the shaft. His meer shell of a body was destroyed. His spirit than went into one of his many clones. The emperor will live on forever…unfornately. So the war did continue after that. So hopefuly in keeping with the proper story line this AT-AT was just left after a battle … not after the war. Because the war continued.
I know this because I listened to a drunken star wars geek ramble on it about it for hours … and I listened. I’m going to hell.
@Marc – there is help for people for you, but you might be too far gone.
Yes so I might as well drown my sorrows in spirits!
Mmmm Grey goose.
