I can see their point. If he wants to make that....he needs to do it with his own Money.

They've shut down other attempts at money grabs related to Star Wars (one I remember was a site owner that said he was close personal friends with Lucas and offered to sell movie spoilers... which happened to also be available on starwars.com for a subscription).

Even so, it would have been really cool to have a 50-foot AT-AT in Oklahoma... even if it was in OKC and not Tulsa :P

Well, the Empire would prefer OKC anyway, there is so much more to do here. ;)

Tulsa would just steal it with their Star Trek Transporter.

pbbbth. they should have added something about "repelling" and "magnitude" in that.

How bout "It's a trap!" or "Now witness the power of this fully armed and operational AT-AT in OKC!"

or maybe:

"Gary England to Echo station 3-T-8, we have spotted Imperial walkers"

Lucasfilm has been very, very cool to people who have chosen to develop their own Star Wars themed gear. I have a very good friend who builds full scale R2's and they routinely show them at the Celebration events and other Lucasfilm sanctioned events. They wouldn't have shut this guy down without a good reason.
