Star Wars: Ranking Every Space Battle Worst To Best
2. Hoth - Episode V
Alright, so Hoth is technically a planet and the battle takes place within that planet, but much like the Battle of Geonosis, it qualifies because, well, Star Wars.
Furthermore, the scenes on Hoth are still some of the most iconic the franchise has ever served up.
From the initial sight of the AT-AT's looming in the distance to Darth Vader prowling menacingly around the rebel base.
The battle itself is brilliant, too. Luke gets shot down but shows his new-found powers and quick-thinking off as he single-handedly takes down one of the Empire's giant walkers.
Hoth is one of the major times in Star Wars where you think the Rebellion simply has no answer. And in honesty, they don't really get away with it and take quite the loss in terms of personnel and resources.
Once again, it's left to Han and Chewie to save Leia before Luke heads off on his travels to the Dagobah system.
