One of the Greatest Film Battles Ever

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2003)

Enough has been said about what makes this the best of the Star Wars Films, but the truly stunning and exciting sequence is the battle on the Ice Planet Hoth. The set up is great - a desolate planet and a far-flung outpost seems like the last place the rebels would be found. When they are, we build up anticipation of a standard looking battle and then through binoculars we see - the Walkers. These enormous armored vehicles are absolutely shocking and frightening at the same time. The battle which ensues is thrilling and unique, with Han Solo making a thrilling getaway.
The rest of the movie is excellent as well, but the battle on Hoth is still the very best sequence in the whole series.
