2-storey 'Star Wars' replica in yard for Halloween is big hit

PARMA, Ohio (AP) - A two-storey "Star Wars"-inspired Halloween yard display in Ohio is inspiring kids to pick up light sabres and attracting hundreds of visitors from across the state.

Elevator mechanic Nick Meyer spent half a year and over a thousand dollars building the four-legged All Terrain Armored Transport, or AT-AT walker, replica that's nearly as tall as his home in the Cleveland suburb of Parma. Meyer says he built it with plywood, hard foam and plastic barrels, basing the design off a toy bought online. He installed a Stormtrooper mannequin in front and outfitted the replica's cockpit with red LED lights.
