Things We Saw Today: Vintage AT-AT Walks Again With Help From XBox Controller

By using an Xbox 360 controller, a Star Wars fan has breathed new life into a toy from 1981. It’s part of an ongoing project by Dave Klein, and what’s impressive about this is that it even walks like the AT-ATs we know and love from the movies. Hopefully some Rebels won’t come along to trip this one up. (via Kotaku)

• There are complaints about issues in Star Wars Battlefront‘s matchmaking, including mismatched teams and decreasing server numbers making it difficult to find matches. (I’ve definitely encountered the former, which can make multiplayer a lot less fun.) No news yet on if EA plans to release a patch for these problems. (via Kotaku)
• In more MST3K revival news, the Kickstarter received enough funds to produce 14 episodes–and officially earned the title of most successful crowdfunding project in Internet history. (via Den of Geek)

This Lord of the Rings-inspired lightsaber is elegant and deadly and pays homage to two beloved franchises. Maybe good for a Legolas Jedi cosplay? (via GeekTyrant)

• Funny or Die created their own Star Wars holiday special for The Force Awakens, and it was as if millions of fans’ voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. (via /Film)
• Bryan Singer breaks down some of the shots you see in the X-Men: Apocalypse trailer and what they might mean. (via Empire)
