More imperial presence. More rebels dying. We are a morbid lot.
But, alas, as the title of the film dictates, the empire does strike back.
Bringing down more AT ATs would be fantastic in terms of a "WOW" factor, but the film really could do with a greater scence of loss on the rebels part in the Hoth battle(as just to show both sides suffer heavy losses in the assult).
Harder, faster. > More intense < is the operative phrase.
Methinks this idea carrys some weight.....(if it can be done that is, masterAdy)
