'Star Wars' fan gathers support for life-size AT-AT


Michael Koehler, a 38-year-old social-media consultant who lives in Oklahoma City, is aiming to bring this mechanical monstrosity to life in a campaign called "AT-AT for America."

The project almost reads like a political movement, as Koehler believes a collective effort to build an AT-AT will help boost morale in the U.S. by showing the world "our brain power, our manufacturing prowess, our organizational skills and our geek-fueled eye for detail."
