Leading the Imperial ground assault forces to the gates of Echo Base, he used the Force to tear them down. [54] A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 203 states that Hoth was chosen as the rebel base one year after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas states that A New Hope ends in 0 ABY, Hoth must have been chosen as the base in 1 ABY.

Give this 64-piece building toy to kids aged 6 and up as a holiday or birthday gift The Battle of Hoth was a major battle fought in 3 ABY and was considered a major victory for the Galactic Empire and the single worst battlefield defeat suffered by the Rebel Alliance during the Galactic Civil War. The battle was an Imperial invasion led by Darth Vader, aimed at destroying the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base hidden on the remote ice world Hoth and capturing Luke Skywalker. The base's location was discovered when a Viper probe droid, deployed by Darth Vader's Death Squadron, landed on the planet - prompting the Rebels to begin an evacuation of Hoth. Thirdly, I really don't like the tan on white leg printing. The rebels pants and boots are much closer to grey than Lego's tan, and only the lower tunic is white. The old grey legs with the white skirt printing looked far better, and just needed improved print quality for the white.Galactic Empire · Hutt Clan · Jedi · Rebel Alliance · Sith · New Republic · Death Star · Death Star II · Declaration of the Rebel Alliance · Jedha (II) · Imperial Senate · Yavin 4 (I) · Endor (II) · Liberation Day · Contingency · Chandrila (II) · Galactic Concordance · Imperial Instruments of Surrender Nythlide Array · Xagobah (II) · Operation: Cinder ( Dybbron III · Kortatka · Chadawa) · Hunt for Shadow Wing ( Deliverance · Ciaox Verith Planet-side, decorated General Maximilian Veers was placed in command of the ground assault, and led the contingent of AT-ATs and AT-STs under the unilateral command of Blizzard Force.
