Star Wars* fandom and Internet videos – if there are two things more perfectly suited for each other in the universe, I’ve yet to figure out what they are. I lost count of how many hilarious/bizarre videos have been inspired by Lucas’ sci-fi saga ages ago, but I suspect I’ll always remember Patrick Boivin’s AT-AT Day Afternoon – if for no other reason than because it features the greatest use of a Jabba the Hutt action figure I’ve ever seen.
If the title doesn’t give it away, Boivin’s short takes a toy AT-AT from the Hoth battle scene in Empire Strikes Back](The Empire Strikes Back (1980) - Movie | Moviefone) and turns it into a dog.
