AT-ST patrols Cannon Beach, Oregon, at sunset. Evidently the Empire is cracking down on the outlying systems.

Mike Horn made this series of still images over a weekend after several people asked for hi-res wallpapers from his videos Death Star Over San Francisco and Death Star Destroys Enterprise. He Photoshopped them from personal photos and Star Wars images off Wookieepedia.

501st Legion Golden Gate Garrison troopers Edward Karl, David Buckley, Keita Moriwak, and Anthony Tse, stone cold geekin’. Pix from the original location shoot here.
