I think I saw someone do an intensive breakdown of this scene where they estimated the density of the logs, calculated their velocity by counting the number of frames it took them to collide with the walker, then calculated the crush resistance of the walker's frame by measuring how much it deformed in response to the amount of energy the logs put into it.
IIRC, the AT-ST walker has a frame approximately as durable as a family minivan. So... not like terrible... assuming you weren't taking your walker anywhere more dangerous than soccer practice, but not very impressive for military hardware.
If you want to get realistic then we first have to ask why anyone would actually design an AT-ST when they can just take pictures from orbit. Why was there ground combat at all when the ships can drop kinetic weapons from orbit that have the impact of a nuke with none of the radioactivity?
Let's just enjoy the fantasy.
Because sometimes you want to keep what's on the ground without leveling it?
But then how will everyone know how evil I am?
