"I know we've talked about adding the landing ships and it was rejected, but I want to re-add my suggestion that we just see one lifting off as we first see the cloud that the walkers emerge from. The cloud could be the snow disturbed by the landing and taking off of the ship. You could even just have the tail end of it flying off the top of frame. It would be easy (relatively) to do, and would explain all the smoke. I'll mock something up sometime."
I must say it is a really good idea, and I hope so Adywan also can live whit this. (I wish itJ
And here is one of my personal favorite concept shot, unfortunately not used in the movie. A beautiful view of the Imperial Stardestroyer with the planet Hoth. What can I say.....Exelent conception.
