Holy shit the rebel kid spit at Vader. He had some balls.
I'd have done the same in his case. Besides, he was going to die anyway so he might as well have gotten in that one last gesture of defiance against one of the symbols of the Empire's tyranny.
If I was Vader after I killed him, I'd respect him for his bravery and defiance even if I felt that it was misplaced.
ryan macdonald I think Vader forgot about him after he hit the ground.
Jedi -master Nender That episode actually took place 5 years before the Battle of Hoth
In old canon, that's Mon Mothma's son :)
+Geo Xev Yeah, before he was killed.
"Spitting on Darth Vader's helmet"
That guy has balls of steel.
George Zhang he was gonna die anyway
Daniël Meijer He could have cried out for mercy.
@@RenaldyCalixte he died for rebel
He did the corporal was mon mothmas son so he had just as much as she did. She only found out he had died during the briefing in Jedi where she mentions the bothan spies (who look wolf like). Apologies for nerd mode but it’s not mentioned here and it should be.
@Degree7 no....
Balls of Kyber 😎
That rebel had some serious balls to spit on Vader.
Although he walked in the valley of the shadow of death, he had feared no evil.
+cptTK421 he feared nothing because he looked at his life and realized there was nothing left
If you want to know, that's Mon Mothma's son, Jobin Mothma.
The Dominator gangsters paradise
Yes he did.
No one ever complained about the cold on Hoth. We never felt it. Even though we were blinded by blizzards, we could see the final end of the Rebellion in our blaster sights. Was it only a mirage? Perhaps. But on that day, on that planet, our blood ran hot with dreams of victory, melting the ice that stood in our way.
Archangel The clones are the best.
Hillary Clinton they were storm troopers who were Jango Fett clones
Archangel i love bettelfront 2
JoseAC 99 by the time of Empire there were no clones
Ryley 18 There were a few. They were a minority because the Empire stopped cloning and accepted volunteers.
2:55
*sees Vader*
"oh crap"
Callum Pears Yep XD
"Vader! Let's find another way around!" -Rebel Trooper from starwars battlefront 2
Wait, they actually said that? Nice!
"Holly molly we gotta get outa here dudes before we become fried chicken!"
Flee! Run for your lives!!
When I was a little girl, my dad would often tell me the story of him participating in this battle as a Snow Trooper. He would tell me the hardships he and his fellas went through, the cold of the planet, how cool he looked with a blaster, etc.
Because I was little, I believed him and thought it would be cool to join the Empire. I later learned that it was all fiction, though, but it didn't matter, because in my book he was a really cool guy.
Anyways, this is a nice memory from my childhood and I wanted to share it here. Thanks for reading, stranger (:
Haha that's awesome! My grandma actually did something similar to me when I was a kid, telling me how Coruscant used to be a real city when I was watching the chase scene. Wish she was telling the truth tho, anyway thanks for sharing!
They sure were weird yet wholesome parents.
Oh my god what a cool dad!!!
You should have mentioned that Jobin was the son of Mon Mothma in the video and how she received his message before the Battle of Endor.
What?!? The Son of The Leader of the Rebellion!? This is Cold!
Where can I read that?
@Henry B No nEeD tO Be A TiT DaMn
Him being her son actually makes the way he wrote his letter to her really strange all things considered like you'd assume the Leader of the Rebellion would be more aware of the stuff he's talking about but instead he words it as if she'd be mostly unaware of everything he's talking about.
@@SOMEGUY7893yeah it's like he never knew his mom was the leader of the faction he was apart of lmao
Probably one of my favorite scenes of all time in Star Wars is when we get the shot of the Rebel soldiers retreating and the AT AT walkers in the distance firing upon them. It was so beautifully shot, and it gave a real sense of how powerful the Empire was. I hope we get something similar with the First Order in the new trilogy.
The first order isn't more powerful.
Fact Free thats why in star wars battlefront the ion cannon is still firing ,its because of them they save the remaining rebel transports but is it canon the star wars battlefront 2016
PHYNEXZIAN ik
Fact Free deserves more subs
Fact Free my favourite scene is admiral ackbar you knew w what I'm talking about :)
The Jabin story should be made canon
Amrit Gill is it not?
Sam Van Noyen In the video title it reads "legends" so I'm assuming it's not
"Legends" stories, as I see them, are canon until contradicted by the movies, so as there is no reason for the events not to happen, I believe they did. But it is only me
Daniel B I hope Disney shares this kind of logic. This story makes sense, ties into ESB quite well, and is overall good enough to make me want it
Should be like a DLC mission for BF2.
We could always use more story-based battles.
Rebel Soldier: "Imperial Troops have entered the base! Imperial troops have entered the- (static)"
Imperial Trooper: "Uh, no we haven't entered the base... stay where you are... we'll be with you shortly."
Vader: No No not like that.. (moves soldier aside and clears throat)
Vader: Uh, had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
Imperial Teooper: "...how are you?"
@@charlieinthe_box BRUH PLEAS 😂

battle of hoth POV
star wars battlefront...
FlaMasker nahhh that battle is just meh really in the game
xD
the good one, or the one by EA?
Juan Cena | THE CHAMP IS HERE shut the fuck up
dude chill. Just reporting Facts here.
Actually han didn't destroy the probe droid it self destructed
Interesting...so it was just coincidence that Han shot the droid, while it was self destructing?
Murray The Wog Boy Whoa, did I just get fact checked? But actually, did they say that in the movie or from somewhere else? I don't remember them mentioning the probe self destructed, unless I overlooked something. Thanks :D
Fact Free the movie i think he said "i hit but not too hard must've hit a self destruct" i think
Murray The Wog Boy your pretty much right : )
Im pretty sure Han said or mentioned that the droid self destructed
Did he get any recognition from the Rebel leaders for his great commitment and sacrifice? Like come on dude, I hope they at least knew what he did that day.
Voca Productions most likely no.
I figured, but hey it's Legends so anyone can make it happen.
Oh well that's good.
he did, his mother was Mon Mothma herself
Beck Parsons Photography Hhmmm
Battle of Hoth from average Rebel Soldier's view: "Damn, I'm cold...and the only woman on this planet is a princess who won't even talk to me"
Nah cold is the enemy of erections so he wouldn't be thinking about women
Jobin is a hero and has become one of my favorite Rebel soldier!
roderickuw me too
He was a hero to the rebellion and will not be forgotten
roderickuw fun fact: He is Mon Mothmas son (legends) and she learned of his death minutes before the rebel meeting in ep6
Rebel trash deserved to die
I love that he died like a bitch! Death to all rebel scum!
As the Rebels fled, the 501st gathered around a burning bunker and let out a cheer that shook the stars. The Rebellion was done. The Death Star was being rebuilt bigger than ever. Order had finally returned to the galaxy, and no small part due to the efforts of the fighting men of the 501st.
1:11 I love seeing turbo tanks
haha true
chris pearson yeah but why would I spell HAVw A6 juggernaut instead of turbo tank haha
There was a difference between the Turbo tank and the Juggernaut...one being much bigger than the other (a5 vs a6)
Never realised how big the battle of hoth was in the film. I always thought it was just a small thing but in actual fact it had huge impacts
Yeah we forget that it was no different than a battle fought irl. It had tanks and guns and people dying and fearing for their lives just like real warfare. Just in space
That nigga spat on vader lol what a boss
What’s sad is despite their spirited defense of Echo Base. If you really think about it. This incredible sacrifice was little more than a delaying action.
I’m sure many in the upper ranks knew most of those troops were not going to be coming back.
The emotions evoked from a simple comic shows that we as humans care for one another.
That was what Legends was about. It felt like it was made by professionals, who knew what kind of stories they were trying to tell.
This made me realize how much I really want an anthology film based on Hoth. Maybe a type of war/survival style movie where it opens with the battle of Hoth and then follows a squad of rebel soldiers left behind as they try to find a way off the planet while surviving against the climate, creatures and pursuing imperials.
That 501st journal reading brought a tear to my eye. Of course that Rebel's story was touching as well, but the fact that I fought with the 501st from Geonosis to the assault on Hoth in BF2 turned this story to one of victory
This would make an incredible single player mode for battlefront 2
Yeah if only this is what we got instead. Imagine call of duty but in star wars. That would be awesome. And I mean good call of duty like world at war call of duty.
I love the way these stories are treated like history and like a teacher teaching students about long lost wars in space, its so mezmorising
why is there a turbo tank on the image? 1:11 and an more important question where was it during the battle?
in the EU turbo tanks were used by the empire alot
Agent Bill Wilson also by the rebels
Wookiepedia has an interesting take on the Battle of Hoth, they combined all uses of equipment on both sides making the battle much larger than what was actually shown in the movie.
I read in a magazine that Turbo Tank scetches were drawn & were going to used in the fil before the ATAT's were designed
Got stuck in the snow :^)
DUDE! Learning Jobin's story was epic! Love things like this that just expand the stuff I've grown up with since I was a kid. Oh sure, the films focus on the main heroes and events, but if you want to learn other smaller stories and whatnot during, before, or after those events? Well, star wars has got you covered!
this is one of those channels where even if its legends i will still watch it cuz ur videos are so interesting
Quick question, was the information (or parts of it) for the Imperial viewpoint taken from the Battlefront II campaign? I remember the final mission being the battle of Hoth, and the narrator saying things about the battle that are similar to what was mentioned here.
Yes.
Love that mission so much, just reply it over and over. And felt connected to the 501st losing their brothers on the DS1 and taking my time crushing the rebels.
Ben Quinnobi part of it was from BF2 yes
I loved this comic so much. It was so emotional and the fact that he was Mon mothmas son is even better
Excellent Video, LM!
🔥💯🔥
Thank You for Creating and Sharing with us. I've always wondered about the fates of the rebel soldiers who heroically faced the full might of the Empire's land forces on Hoth. It was also good how you revealed the perspective of the Imperial troops who were burning with the desire to avenge their slain comrades from the battle of Yavin.
🔥💯🔥
From a storytelling perspective, it is important to note how easy it is to find Story Seams within the Star Wars Saga to dive into and explore such as with the tale of the young rebel soldier on Hoth.
💫
Building a massive, multi-layered story world defined by an epic conflict and populated by complex and heroic characters is the name of the game in professional storytelling now.
🔥👑🔥
Thanks again for this great video.
May the Force Be With You!
These kinds of comics are some of the best to me because we don't just see some brave rebel leaders where everything is goes their way. We see a normal everyday soldier who willingly entered the Rebellion knowing that they could die. Their story doesn't always end with a happy note it can end with dispare, sadness, vengance, and sacrifice.
Can you do battle of geonosys from a clone trooper POV
vigicraft_omc_ geonosis*
vigicraft_omc_ he already did go check it out
he did
Cool! Will you do this for other battles? Like, the battle of geonosis from a clone troopers point of view? Or order 66 from a Jedi's point of view?
Order 66 from a Jedi's point of view? Isn't that exactly what we get in Episode III?
+Toad 1000 Yes. I plan to do this for Geonosis or Coruscant if there is enough material to done one for each.
I con do Geonosis from the Separatists POV.
"Roger, Roger, Blast them! Oh no!
Toad 1000 he could only do this one because there was a legends comic about it
Thanks for sharing! That comic from Legends really was worth a look!
That was deep. Great work keep it up!!
It would be better if Disney had a campaign of slowly choosing novels or comics that don't interfere with their new timeline and canonizing them individually, instead of trying to rush through in 3 years what the EU did in 30 years. Case in point: Death Troopers. That was a pretty good novel, doesn't interfere with the timeline, and has already been referenced in Canon.
such sick fanart
Thanks for the great Video once again:)
Wow, I really enjoyed listening to this video. , The is my Favorite Battle seen from all of the Movies and have recreated it several times in Mocks and Dioramas in the past.
I miss the times where you uploaded every day a video
The EU is so much better than the Mouse Monopoly's stupid "new canon". This story proves it.
You know it.
Both have good and bad moments
Great video mate!!!
This was a really cool episode, I would love to see something similar with other battles!!!!
I hope we see an orbital bombardment in the next Star Wars movie!
Hi reporting from the future here. We do not
@@Spiralredd 7 years of Disney fumbles had led us to this point.
@@shadmandem918 the sequels were alright
Battlefront is where you get to see there point of view lol
Not really battlefront is too lighthearted. It would have been better if they had a star wars call of duty style game.
star wars goes so deep I love all these videos
I love the artwork in this comic!
"Imperial troops have entered the base" aw just imagine a animated rebels show where we follow a soldiers perspective or just a stromtroopers perspective or better yet bring us Kotor and go back a few thousand years not 400 years
He went out like a G.
Great video!
No one ever complained about the cold on Hoth. We never felt it. Though we were blinded by blizzards, we saw the end of the Rebellions in our blaster sights. Was it a mirage, perhaps. But on that day, on that planet, our blood burned hot with dreams of victory that melted the snow that stood in our way- 501st Trooper.
"As the Rebels fled, the 501st gathered around the burning bunker, and let out a cheer that shook the stars. The Rebellion was done. The Death Star was being rebuilt bigger than ever. Order had finally returned to the galaxy, and no small part due to the efforts of the fighting men of the 501st." ~ 501st Journel
I doubt I could ever feel sympathy for people wanting to avenge the destruction of a planet-killing superweapon. No one working on that thing was innocent. It's always nice to see the other side, but I still want them to lose.
Yeah for example tons of people love the quote from the 501st clone in Battlefront II but I actually like his voiceover in those scenes entirely because it comes across as a darkly ironic comeuppance considering his actions after order 66 and that he views Hoth as the ultimate victory for the Empire when we know that it's actually their greatest failure and leads to the Rebellions ultimate victory over the Empire.
So what about the civilians, workers, stormtroopers friends, families, and children being on tour on the death Star I swear your black view of the empire is so simple minded
@asd asd that's the point many of the imperials believed that the death Star is invincible and also so if you are working for a bad buy that makes you bad if that is true than you are beyond lost, stupid and lawful evil
I can tell u what it was like from sw battlefront , blooody unfair
This was pretty cool thank!
That journal from the snow trooper was from the star wars battlefront 2 campaign. (Which to me was fun and historic)
Battlefront 2 the last story mission :)
it's not a star wars comic/book if vader isn't there choking or killing on of he main protagonist. :/
Nice I love your Videos
I discovered this channel 5 days ago.... Watched most of your videos
What do you think about would happen if one troop got trench foot on hoth what would that even be like I wonder.
Personally, as a Star Wars fan, I reject Disney's new cannon. The Legends stories are so much deeper and simply better. Jeez, I really wish Disney would have taken the time to go through and familiarize themselves with the lore rather than simply tossing all the cool stuff out and replacing it with shallow crap for a few quick bucks.
Yes, finally someone who agrees with me
Fuck Disney! I choose legends as my canon.
minttt yees
I think legends is a mess and I love that disney fixed it! But we all have our own opinions!
And as always, interesting facts!
man those 501st stormtroopers are bad ass. I remember the battlefront 2 intros in every mission and it just made me feel like a complete bad ass😂
What is the book called
star wars entrenched
Wait, Jobin was Mon Mothma's son!?
yup
I never even knew jobin existed. Thanks fact free. These characters truly are amazing and should be given the spotlight. Jobin is now my new favorite rebel( it used to be porkins) and I really like his scarf. ( is there a significance to that scarf?)
Mesa is curios, what does POV mean?
Point Of View my lord
johnathon wilson Mesa understands now, thanks to yousa!
Jar Jar Binks your welcome! have a good day!
Jar Jar deserves to die.
Jar Jar Binks AHHH QUICK KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!
This story often sounds like the First World War
Can I ask how?
GalaXio well just like the WWI the soldiers were mostly young and inexperienced with a few older veterans not to mention the message the main character had for his mother were a lot like the letters the soldiers wrote for their family and friends and they would have small celebrations when taking out a zeppelin similar with the rebels and taking out AT-ATs not to mention the vast amount of trenches on both Hoth and and the battlefields of WWI
Hell you're right, You know how surprised and terrfied soldiers in WW1 Were of tanks? They first had no idea what they even were let alone how to take them down.
+Tr4il tanks in ww1 weren't that great though. But I'm not an expert on this and I'm not sure what they used to destroy tanks
The Dominator well they had artillery and anti-tank grenades
This is a nice video, I am currently writing a short story about Hoth from a storm troopers view
Awesome narrator telling the soldier's story and him being brave.
Another great video
AWESOME job
great video!
Rebel: *spits at Vader*
Vader: *damn*
Snow Troopers: *What a savage*
Nice Vdo , it very interesting !
Dude was honestly brave for doing that to Vader and accepting death right there while saving his team.
Absolute love this!
that battle scene is by far the greatest battle of all time ever and ever will be in the history of battles.
Damn dude I LOVE your Videos.
Huge star wars fan here and I watched I think all of your videos.
Thx and keep up the great work :)
btw what happend with your star wars only channel? (I see this is your main channel now)
Star Wars Lost Stars shows. Really cool perspective on this battle.
That journal from the snow trooper came from the star wars battlefront 2 campaign (Which to me was fun and historic)
lol, that moment when the trooper went oh crap, that made my day
I want a “The Martian” styled drama about a rebel stuck on both after the war.
I love that Star Wars battlefront two reference for the 501st troops
I’m very impressed with your videos. Do you have any information on galactic Marines and their actions? I would love to see The video done about them.
As a proud member of the 501st legion and somebody who has collected marine on her, I think this would mean a lot and would be very cool for all to see what the galactic Marines really are all about.
Cool insight
I appreciate that the Stormtroopers were involved here as well.
The journal you mentioned was from Star Wars Battlefront II, wasn't it?
The novel: Star Wars Battlefront explains alot about other stations near echo stations. This gives you another point of view (also that of a rebel trooper). The novel is a good read and the second novel will come out shortly.
I have never considered the battle of Hoth a slaughter. Echo base was meant to be evacuated on short notice. The thin screen of rebel troops defending the base did just what they were supposed to, as general Rieekan said: 'We gotta hold 'em until all transports are away'.
Technically from a military point of view. The Battle of Hoth would be looked as a Empire Tactical Victory and an Alliance Strategic Victory though the Alliance victory is being used loosely. Empire took the planet and used Echo Base as a POW camp however the Alliance managed to leave the base with most of their personal and equipment. My only issue with the Alliance was the long term goal of the land forces they left. Were they meant to just stall and die? Did the Alliance plan on evacuating those men?
Caesar Seriona Well, I'm just speculating, but seems to me the Alliance would try to evacuate battle hardened troops. In the scene where Luke boards his X-wing, you can still see transport ships. I like to think several transports waited until the last minute to get as many highly valuable combat troops out as they possibly could.
I wish we got to see more of this in the movies. To make it more clear that aside from when they are fighting a protagonist the empire had a terrifying army
Wow, this comic is awesome!
The snow fight on Hoth is definitely my favorite scene in Empire Strikes back.
Fact free I love you
I wish u had a podcast for this
One of my favorite scenes wich more of it. Love the rebel uniforms
In canon, there is a book called Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company. It is a good book following Sergeant Namir in the rebel alliance's 61 infantry unit, Twilight Company. He visits High Command, just in time for the Battle of Hoth. It is a good book, I recommend you read it!
Make a top 8 Star Wars movies poll!
amazing!!!
Nice vid
