Year Released
Released in 2020. This version debuted with the 75288 AT-AT 20th Anniversary wave, showcasing the transition to highly detailed leg printing and the 'new' Clone Trooper head standard across the Imperial/Republic lines.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While it appears in a mass-release retail set, it is specific to the AT-AT model and larger play sets, making it more desirable than standard stormtroopers but not as rare as limited-run promotional figures.
Head
Standard 'angry clone' or newer neutral flesh-tone head with printed facial features (black eyes, eyebrows, and mouth). It is dual-sided in some newer iterations but traditionally a single-side set for this ID. The helmet is a unique mold with precise red Imperial insignia and blue ventilation grills.
Torso
Light Bluish Gray with detailed life-support box printing. Features a gray flight suit pattern with dark gray straps, a red light on the chest control panel, and detailed back printing showing the rear of the harness and suit canisters. Light Bluish Gray arms with Light Bluish Gray hands.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray with extensive printing. Includes dark gray horizontal knee padding and tactical pockets on the thighs. The printing extends down to the shins to represent the flight suit tucking into the boots.
Accessories
Commonly packaged with a standard black small blaster (pistol). This specific figure in the image is currently missing its handheld accessory.
Color Scheme
Primary: Light Bluish Gray. Accents: White (helmet), Red (Imperial logos), Dark Gray (straps and details). This scheme reflects the cold-weather gear seen on Hoth.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the helmet, torso (front and back), and the front of the legs. The alignment is generally excellent, typical of 2020+ manufacturing standards. The helmet printing is particularly notable for its sharp red Imperial roundels.
Variants
Several versions exist from 2003 to present. Variants include the 'classic' 2003 version (sw0095), the 2010 version with dark bluish gray legs (sw0262), and the 2014 version (sw0581). This sw1104 variant is distinguished by the specific leg printing and the updated headpiece style.
Condition Notes
The helmet is prone to minor scuffing on the top 'mohawk' ridge. Torso cracks under the arms are a standard risk for all Lego figures of this era if played with heavily. The white printing on the light gray helmet can sometimes yellow if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New/Mint: $9.00 - $12.00 USD. Value is stable due to the popularity of Imperial army building.
Price (New)
Included in set 75288 which retailed for $159.99 USD. The per-figure value at retail was roughly $6.00 considering the piece count and other included minifigures.
Compatible Sets
75288 AT-AT (2020), 75313 UCS AT-AT (2021).
Character Background
Imperial AT-AT Drivers were specialized combat drivers trained to operate the All Terrain Armored Transport. They wore reinforced flight suits and life-support helmets to survive in various climates and maintain the massive walkers' complex systems during the Battle of Hoth.
Design Notes
The design utilizes the 'modern' Stormtrooper helmet mold (dual-molded look) but via printing on a light gray base. This represents a peak in detailing for the character compared to the simplistic 2003 blocky prints.
Similar Minifigures
sw0581 AT-AT Driver (2014), sw0990 Imperial AT-ST Driver, sw1175 Hoth Scout Trooper.
Collectibility
High for Army Builders. Collectors often seek 2 to 4 of these to fully 'crew' their AT-AT sets, ensuring consistent demand on the secondary market.
History
The AT-AT driver was one of the earliest Star Wars figures (2003). Over 20 years, the figure has moved from simple black-and-white torso prints to this 2020 version which features full-body gray detailing and high-fidelity helmet decals.
Interesting Facts
Despite being 'drivers,' the LEGO version of the helmet actually uses the same mold as standard AT-ST pilots in some eras, though the AT-AT version is distinguished by the gray/white color palette whereas AT-ST pilots are typically all gray.
Display Suggestions
Place in the cockpit of a 75288 AT-AT or on a snow-themed Hoth diorama alongside Snowtroopers and Darth Vader. Use a clear 1x2 brick to pose him as if exiting the walker's side hatch.
Modification Potential
Great for purist customs; the torso can be used for other Imperial technicians or pilots. The legs are excellent for generic Sci-Fi soldiers or space mechanics in MOCs.
Overall Assessment
An essential Imperial figure. The 2020 update provided much-needed leg detail that makes earlier versions look unfinished by comparison. Rating: 8/10 for accuracy and collectible value.
