Today is May the 4th, which has become an international day for recognizing the mega franchise we all know and love and recognize with our dollars almost continually lately anyway via movie ticket and product purchases. It\u2019s also a day that can be truly fun, especially when staid government agencies get in on the gag, as Transport Canada has done with a recall notice it issued today for the All-Terrain Armored Transport<\/a>, or AT-AT as it\u2019s more colloquially known.<\/p>\n The lumbering, four-legged armored battle vehicle is familiar to Star Wars fans new and old \u2013 first for its pivotal appearance in the Hoth battle scenes from Empire Strikes Back<\/em>, then for its reappearance on Scarif defending the Imperial archives from a small team of rogue rebel soldiers. Transport Canada has recalled the vehicle, which is classified under the official categorical designation of \u201cSTAR WARS,\u201d for its tendency to experience failures in \u201cextreme cold temperatures, such as on planet Hoth or in Northern Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n The recall impacts 10,000 vehicles, but the notification type is listed as \u201cInconsequential,\u201d which is not among the more serious categories of concern on Transport Canada\u2019s recall rating scale. The recall also lists the maker of the AT-AT as \u201cGalactic Empire,\u201d when we all know very well that the real manufacturer is Kuat Drive Yards, which makes the transports under exclusive contract to the Empire. That\u2019s how you can tell this is just a joke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/at-at.gif?w=680\")
