Under the command of General Veers, their purpose is to take out the generators that power the energy field.

The Empire deploys AT-AT and AT-ST walkers to the planets surface. He promotes Captain Piett of the Executor to Ozzel's position. As punishment for this, Darth Vader uses the Force to strangle Ozzel. As such, the rebels activate an energy field keeping all laser fire from reaching the planet. Vader knows that the rebel base is on Hoth and orders the fleet towards that location.Īdmiral Ozzel of the Empire brings the fleet out of lightspeed too quickly thus alerting the Rebels to their presence.

Meanwhile on board the super Star Destroyer, Executor, Lord Vader's crew receives the information transmitted by the Imperial Viper probe droid. Leia and Han argue a bit and Leia kisses Luke in order to make Han jealous. A tender moment between Princess Leia and him is briefly shared before Han Solo and Chewbacca enter to check on Luke's status.
