  • SNOWTROOPER

    Insulated against: Temperature extremes
    But not against: Rebel blaster fire
    Almost capture: the Millennium Falcon
    Comments: Emerging like invisible ghosts from the tundra, few sights chill the hearts of Rebel soldiers like a charging battalion of Imperial Snowtrooeprs.








    LUKE SKYWALKER

    Captured by: A Wampa
    Leads: The snowspeeder assault
    Lucky he carries: An ascension gun
    Comments: Though he lacks little formal training in the Force, Luke's natural talent keeps him alive in the brutally cold wilds of Hoth. His strength helps him recuperate quickly enough to lead the snowspeeder counterattack against the oncoming strength of the Empire.






    HAN SOLO

    Determined to find: Luke Skywalker
    Vehicle: Millennium Falcon
    Pursued into : An asteroid field
    Comments: Though he is determined to return to Tatooine and finally settle up with Jabba the Hutt, Han Solo keeps getting pulled back in to the Rebellion. This time, it's Luke, missing in the freezing waste with night falling, and the Imperials on their way.







    CHEWBACCA

    Species: Wookiee
    Weapon: Bowcaster
    Hates: The cold
    Comments: Constant companion and co-pilot to Han Solo, Chewbacca is left to struggle with the repairs to the Millennium Falcon while Solo risks his life out on the tundra, searching for Luke.
