    I think 10:40 - 11:37 highlights what made this battle and movie so good. The rebels get their small victories, destroying a walker here and there, but the Empire is just so unstoppable that it doesn't matter. This battle really did a great job of showing what fighting the Empire was like through most of the war. The idea that no matter what you did they could just keep coming.

    Holy crap I only just realized, the battle music literally tries to mimic the sound of the AT-ATs walking. How on earth did I notice this before!
    It's genius, and most noticeable at 5:13, and 6:05, with the lower instruments.

    Also, I absolutely love how, when the actual battle music for Hoth plays about 4:30 in, the drums and low brass instruments actually simulate the AT-ATs walking, while the more frantic overtures simulate the Snowspeeders.

    "Rogue Leader, the imperials have landed on Hoth and are moving in our direction! The rebel transports are preparing for evacuation. Take Rogue Squadron to Outpost Beta and intercept any imperial forces you may find! We'll need all the time you can buy."
    "Luke, the crew at Outpost Beta is also manning the ion canon. It's providing cover for our transports and their escorts."
    "Copy that, Wedge. Rogues, if we lose Outpost Beta, this evacuation won't get past those star destroyers! Alright rogues, stay tight!"
    Instant respect to anyone who gets this reference.

      If only Dolphin could actually run the gamecube Rogue Squadron games. Terrible framerate, despite having a system which is overkill for it.
