The more you start rationalizing the Hoth battle, the more it doesn't make sense.
The more you start rationalizing the entirety of The Empire Strikes Back, the more it doesn't make sense. In fact, the story and plot make less sense than any of the movies, including the prequels....
What's great about Empire though, is it's still freakin' awesome.... and in a nutshell, that is the difference between the OT and the PT.
