# Star Wars Slumber Pads Father Builds His Son an AT-AT Imperial Walker By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-at-imperial-walker References: [techeblog](http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/amazing-star-wars-at-at-imperial-walker-loft-bed) & [instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/Star-Wars-AT-AT-Imperial-Walker-Loft-Bed/) I was never the biggest Star Wars fan, but I did see the movies and I always wanted to use the force in battle. A die-hard fan scoured the Internet for many months looking for an AT-AT Imperial Walker bed for his son and came across nothing in all his months of search. In a last attempt to please the young Jedi, the father decided to build the bed himself. The AT-AT Imperial Walker looks phenomenal after the project is complete. He really understands the image of the AT-AT and he doesn’t leave out any details. It’s an awesome project and I bet his young Jedi won’t cause him any harm! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [DIY](https://www.trendhunter.com/diy) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Customized Children's Furniture:** Opportunity for businesses to offer customized furniture options for children, based on popular themes like Star Wars. - **Fan-created Merchandise:** Opportunity for businesses to tap into the market of fan-created merchandise, catering to niche interests like Star Wars. - **DIY Home Projects:** Opportunity for businesses to provide products and services that support DIY home projects, as more people take on creative projects like building custom furniture. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create and market unique and customized designs inspired by popular franchises like Star Wars. - **Merchandise Retail:** Opportunity for retailers to curate and sell fan-created merchandise, including custom-made products for niche markets like Star Wars fans. - **Home Improvement:** Opportunity for businesses in the home improvement industry to provide tools, materials, and guidance for DIY home projects like building custom furniture. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sophisticated Sci-Fi Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ultimate-collectors-series-atat.md) - [Holiday Collector’s Puzzle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingerbread-atat.md) - [Sci-Fi Scene-Inspired Lego Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scifi-sceneinspired-lego-set.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Transforming Sci-Fi Plush Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillow-pets-star-wars-chewbacca.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cruiser Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/venator-attack.md) - [Millennium Falcon Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-tray.md) - [Sci-Fi Large-Scale Block Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ucs-death-star.md) - [Sci Fi-Inspired Desk Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightsaber-lego.md)
