True, but it's also a terrible hiding place. What's the signature of every human domicile? Heat. Where's it really easy to detect heat? On an ice planet. Then again, this is also the universe that thinks that putting tanks on giant breakable stilts is a sound tactical choice.

They had to fight the imperial advance in order to buy time for the transports and other ships to escape. Oh and the troopers look different because they are outfitted for snow and cold weather operations.
Yeah, that's right. i was going to comment but will reply. On Hoth, the rebels on the ground were only trying to delay the Empire troops until the evacuation was complete.
@@sgtjohnson Yeah, we can already do materials with different thermal properties, so it's not much of a stretch the empire has suits or materials adapted to different environments.
BTW the reason why Han was frozen was because Harrison Ford only signed for two movies so the producers weren't sure if he would return, thus his character got frozen.
In the cave scene, Luke basically sees what is obsessing him. When Luke asked Yoda what he will find in the cave, Yoda answers "Only what you bring with you". By giving in to his anger and hatred and "killing" Vader, Luke submitted to the pull of the Dark Side. Him seeing himself inside Vader's helmet is basically the Force telling him : "This is what you will become if you continue in this way."
There is a metaphor in real life : You can become the thing you hate; the thing you fear of being. That scene could be interpreted as that. Ben kept emphasizing don’t give into hate, anger, or fear.
You hate that which you fear. You become that which you hate. It's a very old tale. A young boy fears a scary adult with a sword. So he trains and trains and learns how to use a sword so that he can destroy the scary adult. Then when he finds him, the scary adult is now an old man, and he has become the scary adult with a sword.
Oh, yeah, Irv was saying that Harrison suggested that, and they went and did it in one take and wrapped for the day, and the crew was like "What? That can't be it."
I dont think Blue gets it or cares lol. She couldn't figure out how Han survived after finding Luke ON Hoth RIGHT after he said "THIS WILL KEEP YOU WARM UNTIL I GET THE SHELTER BUILT" 🤦♂️
Those Imperial Walkers were terrifying in a movie theater. They're _huge_ on a big screen, and the scene where Luke was nearly stepped on had me squirming in my seat, it looked so real.

Harrison Ford is a lot of people's favorite. Han as a character not so much. Horrible decision to waste a spin-off without Harrison for this character.
The fact that Vader *didn’t* kill Admiral Piett shows how he’s internally torn, knowing that he has a son, which will feel full circle after the prequels.
"That's going to leave a scar" You're absolutely right, although it was caused by a car crash months earlier to Mark Hamill. His nose and left cheekbone were injured in the crash and he was still healing when they began shooting the movie which is why he looks like he does in the medical scene after being rescued by Han. A nice way to think of the original trilogy is: Luke wanting to be with his father and connecting with him in episode 4, his father severing their connection here (quite literally) and Luke accepting himself as his own person in Return of the Jedi.
@@Mr.Abreu.76 Take a look at Hamill in the Star Wars Holiday Special, which was shot before Empire. They have him slathered in so much makeup that he looks doll-like and darn-near unrecognizable (you would swear it was a different person). That is, when he's on-camera at all; they very quickly fill his scene with "smoke" from a malfunctioning engine.
and we must not forget the costuming... episode 4, he is dressed in white. episode 5, he wears grey. episode 6, he wears black. i like to think of it as symbolic of his journey away from innocence and into a more worldly (universe-ly?) view.

How Han survived the night on Hoth: just before he sticks Luke inside the Tonton, he says "At least this'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up." I think at that point in the movie most people are so grossed out watching the guts come out that they don't pay attention to the words.
That, and also the fact that no modern tent or something similar would help you in this kind of weather so the idea itself sounds like suicide. Good for Han that they have those in Star Wars universe.
Leia's first kiss to Luke on the cheek in episode 4 was just a kiss for good luck. Her kiss to Luke on the lips here was just to make Han jealous. And the kiss to Luke on the forehead here was as a sign of caring, like i'm here for you. Leia doesn't actually have romantic feelings for Luke.
Well there was enough sexy tension to make a love triangle. Because she wasn't his sister until the retcon. But yeah he was never a major romantic focus

My favorite of all the Star Wars films. I was 9 years old when I saw this at the theater in 1980. It was a great night. Everything in this movie was great. Granted, it's largely the Imperial forces who come out on top in this film, hence the title of the movie. And I love the music in this one, especially the Imperial March theme, which I have personally always thought of as Darth Vader's theme. It is an incredible piece of music. I even remember having the trading cards for this film and a comic book adaptation of the film that, if you stood it up on end, was almost as tall as I was. That was pretty cool. I even had a couple of posters my Mom bought at the theater when the original film was released in 1977. I was all about Star Wars at that age.
Its the film that bridges all the films together. It's my favorite too. Love the scenes with the snow and the robot camels (AT-AT). I even bought the latest lego AT-AT, because its so cool
Han is the favorite for a lot of people. In fact, there is a Mexican stand-up comedian who made a whole monologue about why Han is the best Character of the Star Wars Universe.
and HAN SHOT FIRST! I hate that Lucas changed that.. Han was dangerous, that's what made him the best character.. he was dangerous but he was a good guy.
Thank you for watching the credits, not only to give thanks to everyone’s hard work, but to hear John Williams’ beautiful music! And Howie Weed played the snow creature (a wampa) eating in the cave.
Only in the Special Editions. We never see the creature like that in the original version of the film, which IMO was FAR more effective, and makes the Wampa even scarier.
@@JedHead77 She really ought to watch the unaltered editions at some point, so she can experience the films as we did before Lucas started to Ted Turner the shit out of them. I'll never forgive his hypocrisy for going before Congress in 1985 to speak on the importance of preserving films as they were originally made, then pulling his "Rules for thee but not for me" crap and not even giving people the OPTION to legally watch the unaltered cuts of the films. I refuse to pay Lucas another red cent on a copy of the Original Trilogy until they release an official 4K remaster of the unaltered version.
In the Battle of Hoth, the soldiers are running delaying tactics to slow the Empire AT-AT walkers down, to protect their shield generator and base while the transports carrying most of their people escape. In the cave, Luke is shown that he could become the very thing he is fighting against. Luke knows Cloud City is a trap, but he still has to go, because he's Luke Freaking Skywalker! Hehe.
I remember seeing this film in 1980 when I was 2 years old. It is my 1st solid memory. I remember Standing in line outside the theater with my parents the way some people were dressed. I remember falling asleep during the movie on dagobah and waking up on cloud city. Then seeing land of dressed in Hans close and being confused for many years.
The backstory on the "I am your father" line. Only four people knew the line. George Lucas, of course.Irv Kershner, the director. Mark Hamil and actor James Earl Jones who was the voice of Darth Vader. David Prowse, the actor in the Vader suit was told the line "Obi Wan killed your father." Apart from maybe a couple of people recording James Earl Jones' voice and editing the film in post production the rest of the cast and crew didn't hear the line until the movie premiered.
It's also why Lucas's constant claims he had the whole saga planned from the start is complete bullshit. From the original story treatment of The Star Wars all the way up until David Prowse delivered his on-set dialogue, Vader and Luke's father (in fact, Luke didn't exist at all. It was actually the Obi-Wan figure, AKA Starkiller, who was the hero, with Leia as his apprentice/sidekick) are EXPLICITLY two different people. Lucas decided to make Vader Luke's father at the last possible moment.
There is a fan theory that Han is a Force sensitive that the Jedi Order did not discover. He frequently gets premonitions of trouble, He flies in areas that should not be humanly possible to navigate, and He found a single person in a wide open tundra in the middle of a snow storm.
13:30 These Kind of Stormtroopers are call "Snow troopers". Because they are on Hoth (a very cold planet), they wear this armor. This armor is specially designed for extreme cold, and can ideally protect the person in it from the current conditions.
In both the Extended Universe Han Solo trilogy and the Solo: A Star Wars Movie from Disney, Han spent time around a wookie when he was younger and learned a lot of their language. As for what Chewie says and how Han/Harrison knew what line Chewie was saying... Chewie's actor Peter Mayhew was speaking English on set, and they dubbed Chewie's growls over his lines in post production. ruclips.net/video/FD9rlb1QAqM/видео.html "All wise people are crazy"? 😂 I'm offended by that! 😂
@@Caseytify Disney - specifically Kennedy and her story group - doesn't get to declare shit about what's canon in Star Wars. They only make half-assed fanfics.
I can't find it anywhere online, but years ago, I saw a cartoon in a fan magazine that starts with Luke cutting off the Wampa's arm and running away. Then the Wampa picks up his severed arm and walks farther back into his cave, and there, he's got a little tea party set up with a table, a tea set, and toy animals seated around the table. Then he sits down at the table and sheds a tear. It was sad and funny at the same time. Mark Hamill actually felt bad about the snow cave scene. He said the Wampa was just a natural creature behaving the way nature intended, and he thought that, being in touch with nature through the Force, Luke would use the Jedi mind trick or use his light saber to scare it away rather than hurt it.
In the novel Darksaber, it's revealed that wampas are sentient creatures capable of organization and tactical planning. There's one with only one arm... he's so smart he recognizes Luke after 9 years.
@@waterbeauty85 When Disney took over they yeeted everything in that continuity out of the official canon, but they're still really good books that span a wide variety of genres (if you're a horror fan, Death Troopers and Red Harvest are Star Wars books with zombies).
You may hear tales how the opening act was added to explain an accident Mark Hamill had between films. While the accident happened, the act was always part of the film. Hamill & Lucas both say this.
10:09 Nearly every blaster, or those bigger blaster of, for example a at-at weapon, has unlimited ammunation. The weapons in Star Wars over heat and must be cooled, by stopping the fire for a moment. And that gives the feeling of relaoding a "normal" gun.
The reason why Lando is wearing Han's clothes at the end is because they actually had plans in killing off Han because they thought that people will think he was too much of an unlikeable character & replace him with Lando. But Han was such a popular character that they scrapped the idea and I'm glad that they did because Han Solo is freaking awesome!
Also, fun fact! As I understand it, when Leia told Han she loved him, he was actually supposed to say it back. Apparently Harrison Ford ad-libbed that line cuz he felt it better represented Hans character. And he was so right.
I want to see a what-if style Darth Yoda looking out the window mocking Vader saying "death Star need you for a planet to destroy hmmph size matters not" as he closes his little fist as you see out the window the planet being force crushed.
4:08 “that’s gonna leave a scar” Funny enough, that’s the point. Mark Hamill got into a bad car accident that left his face scarred. They created that scene to explain his scarring in-universe.
One of the most dramatic Mandela Effects ever created. Growing up the line was "Luke *heavy exhale*.....I am your Father" not "No, I am your father". It was specifically Darth Vader saying Lukes name that gave it the most impact.
The rebels fighting on Hoth was then holding the Empire from destroying the shield generators and blowing up their base and transports, while everyone was there. PS Mark Hamil (Luke) was the only actor to know that Vader was Luke’s father. Everyone had different scripts. David Prowse’s (actor wearing the Vader suit) script as well as everyone else’s, with the exception of Hamil, read “Obi-Wan killed your father.” Only George Lucas, Irvin Kershner (the director) and Mark Hamil knew. Well I guess you can count James Earl Jones too, since he delivered the iconic line. Kershner told Hamil, “We are gonna tell you this, Lucas knows, I know and now you’ll know. So, so if it gets out we’ll know it was you.” Talk about putting pressure on a relatively new actor lol.
Fun fact: The first scene was necessary and not originally intended, because the actor (Mark Hamil) had a car crash shortly before they started filming and they needed to explain his face injuries in-universe.
Han told Luke he was sticking him inside the dead Taun-Taun to keep him warm while he got the shelter up. They both spent the night in the shelter Han built and that's how they survived.
tall things with skinny legs, it's like shooting basketball players....... Yes "Laser" weapons in Star wars have "Ammo'' Energy catalyzes plasma with a gas cartridge so they have a capacity of a few hundred shots before depletion. 12:40 The battle of Hoth wasn't a battle to win, it was a survival tactic. Rebels built a new base on hoth hoping to consolidate their forces. But the empire found the site, so they evacuated.... The battle was a feint to hold the empire at bay long enough to evacuate it's civlian leadership 13:39 Those are snow troopers, storm troopers trained and equipped to fight in frigid terrain
"That's gonna leave a scar." The scenes with the Wampa was written because Mark Hamill had been in a bad car wreck and ended up with some facial scarring from it.
Trixy, the rebels were buying time with the ground battle for the transports to escape, the blast that hit the Star Destroyer that you said didn't do anything was an Ion blast that disables all electronics on the ship so the transports would not be followed or destroyed.
Fun background info: it was established in the old Star Wars Expanded Universe (books and what not) that the crew manning the Ion Canon at the beginning of the Battle (the gun shooting at the star destroyers to clear the path) were survivors from Alderaan who hadn't been on the planet when it was destroyed. They did not evacuate with the rest of the rebels :(
Of course we don't know what cultural conventions surround kissing in that other galaxy, but yeah, that second kiss of Leia's was surely just a little "get well" peck to encourage the wounded Luke. There is no implication of anything really erotic.
Blue when troopers have different outfits their a different type of trooper and sometimes they have outfits for specific terrain missions that have a different climate
Han is everyone's favorite, no shame it calling out the coolest guy. It's basically Han, Darth, Leia, Chewbacca, and than maybe Boba Fett and everyone else...
Late, I know... Han survived with Luke by setting up a shelter. "That'll keep you warm till I get the shelter up" (paraphrase), he said. The Rebel ground troops were fighting a stalling action to give time for the main force to escape. They didn't do much, though.
Well, if you're someone who advocates watching the movies in episodic order, then fine. But It seems to me that most recommend going against Lucas' own ridiculous (imo) recommendations and watching in release order. Though tbh it's still really not all that complicated. within each of the trilogies, it's straightforward.
That's because Lucas made up all the BS about 9 episodes, etc. He ripped off the original screenplay from Kurosawa's* Hidden Fortress, and the original movie was just Star Wars. The Episode IV crap came later. Star Wars made a lot of money, so they made Empire Strikes Back, and by the time Return of the Jedi appeared Lucas began believing his own PR, and invented the myth of a great saga. *Kurosawa was popular. Seven Samurai was the source for The Magnificent Seven. Yojimbo was the source for Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars.
"It's so cold! Why would anyone go there?"
See, that's the idea of it, a secret rebel base in a place where nobody would go to :D
True, but it's also a terrible hiding place. What's the signature of every human domicile? Heat. Where's it really easy to detect heat? On an ice planet.

I even remember having the trading cards for this film and a comic book adaptation of the film that, if you stood it up on end, was almost as tall as I was. That was pretty cool. I even had a couple of posters my Mom bought at the theater when the original film was released in 1977. I was all about Star Wars at that age.
Its the film that bridges all the films together. It's my favorite too. Love the scenes with the snow and the robot camels (AT-AT). I even bought the latest lego AT-AT, because its so cool
I was 3 when this came out so I certainly didn't see it in the theater but I did see the next one.
Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie
The rebel soldiers were fighting the Imperial walkers to give the other rebels the chance to evacuate.
Han is the favorite for a lot of people. In fact, there is a Mexican stand-up comedian who made a whole monologue about why Han is the best Character of the Star Wars Universe.
and HAN SHOT FIRST! I hate that Lucas changed that.. Han was dangerous, that's what made him the best character.. he was dangerous but he was a good guy.
Thank you for watching the credits, not only to give thanks to everyone’s hard work, but to hear John Williams’ beautiful music!
And Howie Weed played the snow creature (a wampa) eating in the cave.
Any relation to SVU producer Speed Weed?
That's a Wampa
Only in the Special Editions. We never see the creature like that in the original version of the film, which IMO was FAR more effective, and makes the Wampa even scarier.
@@Ambaryerno Well, as far as she knows, this IS the version of Star Wars, i.e., no original, no Special Edition, DVD version, etc.
@@JedHead77 She really ought to watch the unaltered editions at some point, so she can experience the films as we did before Lucas started to Ted Turner the shit out of them.
I'll never forgive his hypocrisy for going before Congress in 1985 to speak on the importance of preserving films as they were originally made, then pulling his "Rules for thee but not for me" crap and not even giving people the OPTION to legally watch the unaltered cuts of the films.
I refuse to pay Lucas another red cent on a copy of the Original Trilogy until they release an official 4K remaster of the unaltered version.
In the Battle of Hoth, the soldiers are running delaying tactics to slow the Empire AT-AT walkers down, to protect their shield generator and base while the transports carrying most of their people escape.
In the cave, Luke is shown that he could become the very thing he is fighting against.
Luke knows Cloud City is a trap, but he still has to go, because he's Luke Freaking Skywalker! Hehe.
Yoda is trolling Luke. He knows who Luke is. Luke is being impatient and intolerant of this "stranger" he meets.
I remember seeing this film in 1980 when I was 2 years old. It is my 1st solid memory. I remember Standing in line outside the theater with my parents the way some people were dressed. I remember falling asleep during the movie on dagobah and waking up on cloud city. Then seeing land of dressed in Hans close and being confused for many years.
The backstory on the "I am your father" line. Only four people knew the line. George Lucas, of course.Irv Kershner, the director. Mark Hamil and actor James Earl Jones who was the voice of Darth Vader. David Prowse, the actor in the Vader suit was told the line "Obi Wan killed your father." Apart from maybe a couple of people recording James Earl Jones' voice and editing the film in post production the rest of the cast and crew didn't hear the line until the movie premiered.
It's also why Lucas's constant claims he had the whole saga planned from the start is complete bullshit. From the original story treatment of The Star Wars all the way up until David Prowse delivered his on-set dialogue, Vader and Luke's father (in fact, Luke didn't exist at all. It was actually the Obi-Wan figure, AKA Starkiller, who was the hero, with Leia as his apprentice/sidekick) are EXPLICITLY two different people. Lucas decided to make Vader Luke's father at the last possible moment.
There is a fan theory that Han is a Force sensitive that the Jedi Order did not discover. He frequently gets premonitions of trouble, He flies in areas that should not be humanly possible to navigate, and He found a single person in a wide open tundra in the middle of a snow storm.
13:30
These Kind of Stormtroopers are call "Snow troopers". Because they are on Hoth (a very cold planet), they wear this armor. This armor is specially designed for extreme cold, and can ideally protect the person in it from the current conditions.
Hearing that sudden "hush"when the revelation was revealed.in 1980.still remember that.
"Hold on. I could've sworn the Imperial Troopers looked _different,_ last time."
They were fighting in a different climate.
AT-AT walks on snowspeeder
Me: Dak? Buddy, you okay?
At the end when the Millenium Falcon makes the jump to hyperspace, Vader was so upset, he forgot to kill that guy.
Haha, I love watching reactor's first seeing Yoda, and knowing its him, but never expected him to act this way.
I've always thought that Vader didn't kill Admiral Piett because the small part of hime that was still Anankin Skywalker genuinely liked him.
Do not get a promotion to Admiral when Vader is your boss 😂😂
In both the Extended Universe Han Solo trilogy and the Solo: A Star Wars Movie from Disney, Han spent time around a wookie when he was younger and learned a lot of their language.
As for what Chewie says and how Han/Harrison knew what line Chewie was saying... Chewie's actor Peter Mayhew was speaking English on set, and they dubbed Chewie's growls over his lines in post production.

"All wise people are crazy"? 😂 I'm offended by that! 😂
Is Extended Universe still canon? I heard that Disney disowned certain titiles.
@@Caseytify
Disney - specifically Kennedy and her story group - doesn't get to declare shit about what's canon in Star Wars. They only make half-assed fanfics.
@@garyballard179 ^This!
:D
"a bit missing" is my new favourite way to describe someone being frozen into stone lol. Anyway, looking forward to the 3rd film!
I can't find it anywhere online, but years ago, I saw a cartoon in a fan magazine that starts with Luke cutting off the Wampa's arm and running away. Then the Wampa picks up his severed arm and walks farther back into his cave, and there, he's got a little tea party set up with a table, a tea set, and toy animals seated around the table. Then he sits down at the table and sheds a tear. It was sad and funny at the same time.
Mark Hamill actually felt bad about the snow cave scene. He said the Wampa was just a natural creature behaving the way nature intended, and he thought that, being in touch with nature through the Force, Luke would use the Jedi mind trick or use his light saber to scare it away rather than hurt it.
In the novel Darksaber, it's revealed that wampas are sentient creatures capable of organization and tactical planning. There's one with only one arm... he's so smart he recognizes Luke after 9 years.
@@jeremyfrost2636Thanks for the info. Not I want to read that novel.
@@waterbeauty85 When Disney took over they yeeted everything in that continuity out of the official canon, but they're still really good books that span a wide variety of genres (if you're a horror fan, Death Troopers and Red Harvest are Star Wars books with zombies).
"Who is the other? Princess Leia?"
😳 Whoa.
"Princess Lei'r..... is a Player" Trixy 2021
You may hear tales how the opening act was added to explain an accident Mark Hamill had between films. While the accident happened, the act was always part of the film. Hamill & Lucas both say this.
"How did he survive? Miraculous." 6:40 "... but it'll keep you warm 'til I get the *shelter* up."
That yeti looking creature is called a "wampa"
Han Solo saying “I know” wasn’t scripted.
The original line was “I love you too”. But Harrison Ford said to the director “Han wouldn’t say that”
Happy 2023! Let's watch the young sherlock homes and the engima of the pyramid , a classic from 1985!
The tunnel Luke slides down near the end, looks like fun, huh?
37:45
Vader is playing with Luke. Vader is holding his lightsaber one-handed for example.
They where fighting the Empire on Hoth to slow them down so the ships could retreat before the energy shield was destroyed.
What is the internal temperature of a Tauntaun?
Luke warm.
Badum tss.
10:09
Nearly every blaster, or those bigger blaster of, for example a at-at weapon, has unlimited ammunation. The weapons in Star Wars over heat and must be cooled, by stopping the fire for a moment. And that gives the feeling of relaoding a "normal" gun.
Trivia: Norway that year endured the worst winter in some 60 years during the location shoots.
The reason why Lando is wearing Han's clothes at the end is because they actually had plans in killing off Han because they thought that people will think he was too much of an unlikeable character & replace him with Lando. But Han was such a popular character that they scrapped the idea and I'm glad that they did because Han Solo is freaking awesome!
When Vader is so pissed he doesn't kill anyone that's when I'd be terrified.
Han did say 'this will keep you warm, until I build the shelter.'
I always interpreted the, "I know,' as, "Don't worry, even though you've denied it, I've known for a while now."
"If I were Leia, Han would be my choice. I don't know why." Ooh, I know.
I've never heard anyone say "Sheeeesh" at the end of Empire and I'm not mad at all. Deserved Sheesh
Those things are thermal detonators. They're basically the Star Wars equivalent of grenades.
The Stormtroopers on Hoth look different because their armor is modified for arctic conditions. They're sometimes called "Snowtroopers".
The shape of that ship at the end, was actually based on a boat motor.
Also, fun fact! As I understand it, when Leia told Han she loved him, he was actually supposed to say it back. Apparently Harrison Ford ad-libbed that line cuz he felt it better represented Hans character. And he was so right.
“Princess Leia… is a pleia.” 😂
'It's like a kangaroo, but weird.' like a kangaroo is _not_ weird.
I want to see a what-if style Darth Yoda looking out the window mocking Vader saying "death Star need you for a planet to destroy hmmph size matters not" as he closes his little fist as you see out the window the planet being force crushed.
I saw this in the theater when i was 5. Was hooked ever since 😁
"The four most romantic words in the English language: 'You wore me down.'"
4:08 “that’s gonna leave a scar” Funny enough, that’s the point. Mark Hamill got into a bad car accident that left his face scarred. They created that scene to explain his scarring in-universe.
One of the most dramatic Mandela Effects ever created. Growing up the line was "Luke *heavy exhale*.....I am your Father" not "No, I am your father". It was specifically Darth Vader saying Lukes name that gave it the most impact.
The rebels fighting on Hoth was then holding the Empire from destroying the shield generators and blowing up their base and transports, while everyone was there.
PS
Mark Hamil (Luke) was the only actor to know that Vader was Luke’s father. Everyone had different scripts. David Prowse’s (actor wearing the Vader suit) script as well as everyone else’s, with the exception of Hamil, read “Obi-Wan killed your father.” Only George Lucas, Irvin Kershner (the director) and Mark Hamil knew. Well I guess you can count James Earl Jones too, since he delivered the iconic line. Kershner told Hamil, “We are gonna tell you this, Lucas knows, I know and now you’ll know. So, so if it gets out we’ll know it was you.” Talk about putting pressure on a relatively new actor lol.
Fun fact: The first scene was necessary and not originally intended, because the actor (Mark Hamil) had a car crash shortly before they started filming and they needed to explain his face injuries in-universe.
Han told Luke he was sticking him inside the dead Taun-Taun to keep him warm while he got the shelter up. They both spent the night in the shelter Han built and that's how they survived.
They are called AT-AT's All Terrain Armored Transport. They have different classes of stormtoopers. These are snow troopers.
tall things with skinny legs, it's like shooting basketball players.......
Yes "Laser" weapons in Star wars have "Ammo''
Energy catalyzes plasma with a gas cartridge so they have a capacity of a few hundred shots before depletion.
12:40 The battle of Hoth wasn't a battle to win, it was a survival tactic. Rebels built a new base on hoth hoping to consolidate their forces. But the empire found the site, so they evacuated.... The battle was a feint to hold the empire at bay long enough to evacuate it's civlian leadership
13:39 Those are snow troopers, storm troopers trained and equipped to fight in frigid terrain
"That's gonna leave a scar."
The scenes with the Wampa was written because Mark Hamill had been in a bad car wreck and ended up with some facial scarring from it.
6:55
While Luke was being kept warm in the guts of Han's mount, Han was setting up a shelter.
7:07
Luke was being healed in a tank of bacta fluid.
The music during the asteroid field chase is one of my favorites 20:23
Trixy, the rebels were buying time with the ground battle for the transports to escape, the blast that hit the Star Destroyer that you said didn't do anything was an Ion blast that disables all electronics on the ship so the transports would not be followed or destroyed.
"OMG...it's like a kangeroo, but ... weird"
Funny...I thought kangeroos were weird :)
Fun background info: it was established in the old Star Wars Expanded Universe (books and what not) that the crew manning the Ion Canon at the beginning of the Battle (the gun shooting at the star destroyers to clear the path) were survivors from Alderaan who hadn't been on the planet when it was destroyed.
They did not evacuate with the rest of the rebels :(
Charging circle... Thank you for my second general laugh of the day (11:40am EST)
"Oh no, there is an Dinosaur!" Kills me!😄😄👍🏻
Princess Leia is not a player. She kissed Luke as an expression of care, not of lust.
Of course we don't know what cultural conventions surround kissing in that other galaxy, but yeah, that second kiss of Leia's was surely just a little "get well" peck to encourage the wounded Luke. There is no implication of anything really erotic.
Her real name is Princess Susan Organa - "Leia", or better "Lay her" was what she was called at space highschool...
Blue when troopers have different outfits their a different type of trooper and sometimes they have outfits for specific terrain missions that have a different climate
Blue: "Omg fuck Han"
Leia: "Don't mind if I do" XD
The part in the cave with vader is a vision of what he will become if he fails... also others things
being waterproof is easier then being vacuum proof for space :P
"Tall things with skinny legs always give me the creeps", you must be creeped out by supermodels! 🤪
So excited for your reaction, Blue. Hopefully Maggie can join next time.
Han is everyone's favorite, no shame it calling out the coolest guy. It's basically Han, Darth, Leia, Chewbacca, and than maybe Boba Fett and everyone else...
Late, I know...
Han survived with Luke by setting up a shelter. "That'll keep you warm till I get the shelter up" (paraphrase), he said.
The Rebel ground troops were fighting a stalling action to give time for the main force to escape. They didn't do much, though.
There is a line cut from the film where Luke tells R2 he is lucky he does not taste good.
thesestorm troope5rs are called snowtroopers, they are in cold weather gear. you will continue to see diffeent trooper outfits throughout the movies.
there is no tricky timeline thing in star wars.... the timeline is just I to IX straight. The only weird thing is the release order of the movies
Well, if you're someone who advocates watching the movies in episodic order, then fine. But It seems to me that most recommend going against Lucas' own ridiculous (imo) recommendations and watching in release order.
Though tbh it's still really not all that complicated. within each of the trilogies, it's straightforward.
That's because Lucas made up all the BS about 9 episodes, etc. He ripped off the original screenplay from Kurosawa's* Hidden Fortress, and the original movie was just Star Wars. The Episode IV crap came later. Star Wars made a lot of money, so they made Empire Strikes Back, and by the time Return of the Jedi appeared Lucas began believing his own PR, and invented the myth of a great saga.
*Kurosawa was popular. Seven Samurai was the source for The Magnificent Seven. Yojimbo was the source for Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars.
@@Caseytify there actaully has been outlines made for 9 or 12. and he stated he wrote a back story anyway. you are jsut a hater
