“Is that an AT-ST in Kingdom Hearts?” they added.

With Disney acquiring all things from Star Wars for a $10 billion deal with George Lucas in 2012, Kingdom Hearts players have been eager to see whether the franchise would incorporate characters from a galaxy, far, far away.

Endor was first featured in the 1983 classic Return of The Jedi, which also featured the debut appearance of the divisive yet adorable Ewoks. The AT-ST (aka All Terrain Scout Transport) is a ground force vehicle used by the Galactic Empire to battle the Rebel alliance.

It’ll be quite some time before these fan theories are confirmed, but we’re already gripped by what Kingdom Hearts 4 has in store.
