When they made the hoth scene it seems they flung it together regarding AT-AT's footage there is no rhyme nor reason as to their positioning and numbers...

The only thing I can suggest is have distinguishing marks on Veers AT-AT which sort of goes it alone I think... While the other 3 drive the troops back across the ice field....

How many are there? we see 5 at the begining through the binoculars I think? or is it 4....

then 2 bite the dust.... Veers heads for the shield generator then there is a shot of 3 driving the troops across the ice-field that makes 6 but we never see more than 5.

Structurally the whole AT-AT and ground Invasion does not make sense coupled with Vader appearing out of nowhere and not knowing which AT-AT is which... Although I really like the whole battle..... when you break it down it falls apart.

I posted on this already on the wishlist thread... Hope it can be fixed....

However if Veers AT-AT is part of the 3 driving troops away across the Ice-field it is a total of 5

Vader lands in a ship, which is suggested to us through Veers' dialogue......so thats pretty much a non issue for me....but the AT-AT footage is indeed cobbled together with no rhyme or reason it would seem. And thats something I noticed even as a young teen watching the films.
