Story

The narrator announces that the Empire is retaliating, with Darth Vader leading an assault against Princess Leia Organa's rebel forces on the planet Hoth. Romas Navander, a rebel communications officer, informs General Carlist Rieekan that a group of Star Destroyers are coming out of hyperspace in Sector Four. Leia kneels near Navander as Han Solo observes. Leia responds that while it's a dangerous move, they cannot endure for much longer. Rebel troopers are positioned in the trenches as a formation of AT-AT walkers advances towards Echo Base. As the walkers fire upon the rebel ground troops and artillery, Rogue Squadron pilots their snowspeeders into the fray to confront the walkers. Luke Skywalker convinces Wedge Antilles and his gunner Wes Janson to use their snowspeeder's tow cable to encircle one of the walkers, causing it to topple and explode. Luke Skywalker is initially pleased, but his happiness is short-lived when a walker destroys Echo Base's shield generator.

As the command center is bombarded with falling debris, Leia instructs the crew to transmit the evacuation signal and proceed to their transports. Navander warns that Imperial soldiers have breached the base, and Darth Vader employs the Force to break through a wall. Rebel troopers exchange gunfire with snowtroopers, but they are quickly overwhelmed.

Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO escape up the ramp of the Millennium Falcon as snowtroopers close in on the freighter. The snowtroopers deploy an E-Web heavy repeating blaster, but the Falcon uses its laser cannons to eliminate them. Han instructs Chewbacca to accelerate as the Falcon departs from the hangar at high speed, leaving Lord Vader and his snowtroopers behind.

At the same time, Skywalker enters his T-65B X-wing starfighter with R2-D2. He informs the astromech droid that they will not be meeting up with the others, but instead heading to the Dagobah system.
