This infographic shows what it might cost to build an AT-AT in the real world! It is complete with details about every single financial aspect of the build. This is a mystery that has been bugging Star Wars fans for quite a while – why aren’t there AT-AT Walkers in real life? Forget about the buts and ifs – the Imperial All Terrain Armoured Transport is simply too awesome to be impractical. So, set aside the small matter of “Why the hell would you do that” and dive into the serious topic. How much will it cost, and how can we fund it?
When this infographic was first created, the figure was estimated to be $226.5m, however the cost of materials has increased due to inflation. So using the US inflation calculator to compare the initial prices vs 2022, the AT-AT would cost $285m to build in 2022, plus an extra $238,000 in salaries. That’s an incredible 26% increase in cost.
