There are a variety of walkers: The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi introduces the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) and All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST). Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) is responsible for their animation and design, often using models, stop-motion animation, and relevant matte paintings to depict their presence in the films. Throughout the saga walkers have played a pivotal role in the fate of characters and the outcome of battles. They are used by the Old Republic, the Galactic Empire, and the First Order for ground assault, reconnaissance or transport.
