i would imagine they would be about R2, 3P0, and some new group of

lesser characters from the previous movies: maybe Boba Fett or Chewie or

solar energy is always bouncing around in space. light reflects off

P.S. i belive the TIE runs on a principle of twin Ion engines that are
solar powered. like my car runs on a V-6 that is gasoline powered. :)

Ever see the Simpons episode where Lisa competes for top smartkid with this
other girl? In the end they have to do a school project, but both loose to
a boy. (don't know name)
His project was a bunch of Star Wars figures, in their original
packaging! :) Principal Skinner comes over and upon seeing them gives the
boy the grade! (the project was totally removed from Star Wars of course)
Skinner - `Wow! Star Wars action figures!...huh, a Chewbacca!' :)
(well, he said something along those lines)
Then later the boy goes home with his figures, trips and falls on top of them
and breaks them! :(
Cheers,

Anyway...
I tend to think of it as atats like you too. I suppose `technically' it
should be spelled out as is. AT-AT like you would IBM, you wouldn't say
something like: An ibem computer.
However, in this case saying atat rolls of the tongue quicker than saying
the letters. You might even call it a `slang' way of refering to the AT-AT,
something the Imperials might use.
  `Prepare the atats for an immediate assault on the Rebels' Hoth base!'
