    They are not elegant. They look very similar to the beetles walkers from AOTC, design that I didnt like it too.
    But lets wait to see them in action.

    Yeah probably, so if the First Order had them in production, I imagine we will see them in action.

    In the picture posted above, of Crait, I would be surprised they are the same ones, as the ones on Crait look much more boxy.

    But I thought I remembered Jason Ward specifically saying that the walkers in TLJ were NOT the walkers seen in TFA.

    It's part of the July 2013 section, which was still pre-production. Sure it was just ideas for possible vehicles on Starkiller Base.

    Pablo said these are the ships we seen is the background of some scenes in TFA, so no, they're not new.

    PS. Here's the tweet:

    The original preview page

    with another glimpse
    3833234407.01.S039.JUMBOXXX.jpg
    and the accompanying TFA concept art by Yanick Dusseault.

    My translation:
    AT-PD: The All Terrain - Defensive Pod (Pod Defender?) of the First Order was produced in small numbers only and was utilized on the Starkiller Base to defend important facilities.
    The head of the four legged vehicle housed generators powering the heavy laser turrets of the AT-PD.

    More on THAT lightsaber...

    So, is MSW incorrect or is the jury still out on their gorilla walker leak? The trailer does show walkers with different (bowed or thicker) front legs...

    The latter. There will be a walker, simply not the one from TFA.

    IMO the only thing new is the clear distinction between the First Order Defense Walkers and the AT-PDs. Both from TFA, as far as we know.
    The on screen AT-DPs where so tiny that it was almost impossible to tell them apart from the much more clearly shown Defense Walkers.
