Star Wars Episode V Soundtrack - The Battle of Hoth (Part 1)

[ATY9Productions]

THE FIRST TRANSPORT IS AWAY... THE FIRST TRANSPORT IS AWAY

[greasyhillabillys]

am i a geek if im playing with a model AT-AT to this music?

[MikeAlexanderNewell]

Feel like I can take on the whole New World Order all by myself!

[ironhidewatson]

Imperial troops have entered the base, Imperial troops have ente..........................

[15theoren]

indiana jones that what it is from

[Krywiggles]

The planet Hoth was named after the Nazi General Hermann Hoth, who was noted for his winter offenses, in particular especially the failed attempt to relieve the encircled German forces at Stalingrad in Jan. 1943. I thought you guys might have found that interesting.....

[f3wbs]

that is pretty interesting. mainly because i heard about him, too

[xekiest]

@Krywiggles and i leave this soundtrack knowledgeable thank you kind Krywiggles! :D

[darkjediMIK]

@Krywiggles Really? I could have sworn it was named after the great Jedi Knight Lord Hoth who was killed at the valley of the Jedi >.>

[94jonathang]

3:07 - Sir, Rebel Transports are on approach. (Forgot how that line goes)

-"Good, our first catch of the day."

-"Stand by, Ion Cannon.... Fire."

*An epic Star Destroyer take down*

3:34- "The first transport- is away! The first transport is away!"

*Everyone cheers*

Man, that is the most memorable celebration on Hoth I can remember.

[621Chopsuey]

I find the lack of Battlefront III disturbing.

[VulcanZechov]

General Veers! Prepare your troops for attack.

[apachevenancio]

0:52 > Ok Troopers,lets make this Scum suck some vader!

[ThePacmanClassic]

Skip to 4:28

[Santana105]

4:28 when the actual Battle of Hoth theme begins

[LUKOcrypts]

What is the name of the ssong during order 66, not when the clones are marching but the sad song playing when all the jedi's fall. Also, what is the title of the soundtrack when mace window and other jedis go to kill palpatine and anikan is in the jedi temple crying, very big on chorus i have to know.....

[Hooperick36]

@LUKOcrypts The music from Order 66 is called Anakin's Betrayal.

[f3wbs]

I think it is Anakin's Betrayal.

[disturbedfan0717]

@LUKOcrypts the one where anakin is crying in the temple is padme's ruminations

[RANTV3]

Irvin Kershner directed Episode V. Sometimes I wish he would have directed all the films. I think the last 3 films would have turned out a lot better.

[kosta1987]

@RANTV3 shame he passed away

[RANTV3]

George Lucas didn't direct this Star Wars Episode. I think that's why Episode V was the best one made. It has so much to it. I think all the films should have been made this way.

[musicplayer438692]

4:29 XD

[erazaqi]

Episode V > Episodes I, II, III, IV, VI

[RevengeOfTheKaizer]

@erazaqi IV and VI together come pretty close, but adding the prequels is like adding a few grains of sand.

[tmande2nd]

:50 best part in the song.

[Halfstar3]

2 people dislike the work of the greatest composer of all time. Go figure. JOHN WILLIAMS THE THRICE GREAT!!

[nuubio]

2:42 Walkers.....

[HoboHutGuy]

Easily the best movie in the series. Also, the first 3 movie have arguably the best composed soundtrack. Of all time? What do you think?

[JonnyHebrew]

3:33 the first transport is away!

[Devlegowii]

weve captured a command post!

[PIanetKrypton]

I blasted this last night at 2:30 am, cuz i can...Cops came to my house and gave me a ticket for not playing it louder.

[thesyfychannel15]

@PIanetKrypton LOL

[StrangerYouKnow]

@PIanetKrypton I haven't heard that one before...(sarcasm). lol

[fettfan91]

looks like the pilots of those two AT-AT's lived to dislike this

[SFisher1993]

@fettfan91 Those 2 pilots were probably Trekkies. ;)

[Punk93Metal]

"Echo station five seven we're on our way".

(I think I got that right.)

[Bactchan]

@Punk93Metal *BOOM*

"Uhh, Echo Station Five EIGHT, we are on our way."

[13spkr]

Vader: "What is it general................. The rebels are alerted to our presence, admiral ozzel came out of light speed too close the system..............He is clumsy as he is stupid.......General, Prepare for surface attack.

[NemesisMLT89]

Target : MAXIMUM FIREPOWER!

[thegiantpigeon]

0:49 ''prepare for ground assault.''

[SFisher1993]

"Feeling alright, sir?"

"Just like new, Dack. How about you?"

"Right now I feel like I can take on the whole empire myself!"

"I know what you mean..."

[MusicDemon1001]

@SFisher1993 "Feeling alright, sir?"

"Just like new. How about you, Dak?"

"I feel like I can take on the whole Empire myself."

"Really? 'Cause that would be awesome. Hey, everyone, Dak said he's got this one!" (crowd cheering)

"You know it bitches!! (He flies off; Luke waves; he flies up to the blockade) Hey, Imperial Fleet, get ready to suck some Dak!" (gets blasted)

[SFisher1993]

@MusicDemon1001 ROFL! Gotta love Family Guy...

[megalon84]

@SFisher1993

I love this quote. It vividly brings to memory the scene of Luke alone in his X-Wing during the Death Star trench run.

[blinkfan305]

@SFisher1993 Hey everybody! Dack says he's got this one!

[SFisher1993]

@blinkfan305 "Get ready to suck some DACK!" *Gets destroyed*

[15theoren]

hlep me in the battle of hoth

[BlackBoo24]

@SFisher1993 Really? Because...y'know, that'd be pretty cool HEY GUYS! Dack says he's got this one!

Yeah bitches! *flies out to space* Hey imperial fleet, get ready to suck some Dack! *boom*

[dudeborg]

Boba fett. the orginal badass

[DingusMcFlabbergasty]

00:00 to 00:39 takes me to another world.

[JordanSanders1991]

IMPERIAL TROOPS!! FLANKING US LEFT AND RIGHT

Defend the Out Posts at all costs!

[jdmoonwalker12]

One of my favorite tracks in all of star wars, especially starting at around 3:05. Simply wonderful.

[MrDui77]

2 person join the dark side

[Colossus3999]

Hey! Imperial fleet, get ready to suck some Dack!

[EvilHippy38]

Love it at 2:40. So mysterious and eerie.

[Apoctank]

@EvilHippy38 echo station 3-TA, we have spotted imperial walkers!

[burtonrules123]

@EvilHippy38 yeah i know, cuz the rebels are waiting for whatthe empire will send there way.

[ronny4ever123]

4:02 to 6:30 has got to be one of my favorite pieces of soundtrack in the entire saga!

[ciceroaugusto3]

this tune is the best . congratulations jonh willians and George Lucas!

may the force be with us

XD

[621Chopsuey]

Makes me want to play the Hoth mission on TFU

[secretsith28]

Will it take a long time to evacuate the T-47's?

Yes.

How long?

OVER 9000 HOURS!

[Beznerds]

how could someone possibly dislike this?

[EvilHippy38]

Oh the wonders of John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra!

[Krazytaco9]

1 person couldn't take on the empire by themselves.

[joker9494949494]

4:09 predator...

[EvilHippy38]

@joker9494949494 Ahah, right? The low-register piano with the percussive backing. Perhaps Alan Silvestri had some influence.

[burtonrules123]

@joker9494949494 LMAO it does sound like Pedator hahhaa

[Dev1ned]

4:03 just amazing

[ventragag]

1:35 epic part hands down

[EdwardRichtofen1]

5:09 to 5:32 WAMPAS!!!!!

[EdwardRichtofen1]

1 person lost an AT-AT

[Zedaienkay3]

for some reason i really like the part 5:22

[nikamungus]

@Zedaienkay3 yeah its a candy part. I find John Williams and Hanz Zimmer do very well with giving us these very short, very flavourful few bars of sound in their epic pieces.

[ThElNdminer89]

I feel like I can take on the empire myself. Really cause that would be awesome, Hey everyone Daks got this. You know it bitches!

[DippersandSmiles]

@ThElNdminer89 Ya, he's the one who ends up getting killed.

[ThElNdminer89]

Dak? Dak?

[Zedaienkay3]

1 guy got choked by vader through a tv monitor

1 guy got killed while addressing his base that "imperial troops have entered the base"

1 guy was in the AT AT when Luke blew it up with a lightsaber and thermal detonator...

I could keep going...

[ComradeJon]

@Zedaienkay3 yeah but you lost accuracy as you went on, it wasn't a thermal detonator.

[Zedaienkay3]

@ComradeJon er... concussion grenade?

[ComradeJon]

@Zedaienkay3 bingo lol

[commentmutant]

@Zedaienkay3 did somebody say no one does in star wars or something??

[Tankbuster1138]

HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE THIS I ASK YOU HOW!?

[spockrevan47]

1 person came out of light speed to CLOSE to the system...

[transformerboy1234]

EPIC part of the movie!!

[JordanSanders1991]

gimme my blaster rifle and a squadron and we'll hold them off this battelfield

REBEL ALLIANCE FOR LIFE

[neodemon591]

It's scary that at certain parts of this music I can quote exactly what the characters said from the movie!!

[Rranger22]

@neodemon591 attack pattern delta, go now!

[cewolfen]

@neodemon591 You have failed me for the last....time....admiral *chokes*

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

@neodemon591 its not scary lots of can do that

[TheRevan333]

0:53 I remeber this was when The First scene of the ship Executer was in, or I think that was the name of Vader's super star destroyer

[Montag87]

Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?!?!?

[Colossus3999]

Echo station 5. 7 we're on our way, All right boys keep tight now

[Maharv55]

2:10 reminds me of Indiana Jones. I know John Williams did both. What a legend.

[1legomaster]

3:14 to 3:20 best music ever.

[favorites411]

1 person is a nerfherder. Whats a nerfherder....is it the equivalent of son of a bitch?

[Albanachid]

@favorites411 Im sure its "nerve hurter" she says.

[AtreideSardaukar]

@Albanachid it is a "nerfherder". She's basically calling him a farmer, as nerfs are like cows, I believe they're the creature that Anakin rides when he's trying to impress Padme on Naboo.

[Albanachid]

@AtreideSardaukar Ah i see, thanks for clearing that up because it always confused me when i was younger and then i just presumed it was nerve hurter.

[joel1975]

This is one of the best movies of all time, whether or not it's Star Wars.

The acting, the music...

Awesome.

[starwarsfanEST]

1 people is scruufy looking nerveperder

[dartheric]

@starwarsfanEST nerfhearder ;)

[hamsteronspeed01]

You have failed me for the last time, admiral.

[TheKevinwashere]

4:30 shits goin down

[thatguyiknewinrwanda]

@TheKevinwashere

That's my favorite part of the whole piece.

[xDarthKevinx]

If you actually play Star Wars Battlefront:Elite Squadron and also if you play as Boba Fett this song will play while you play as Boba Fett and maybe Jango Fett. #TRUE

[Smashbrosforlife]

Darth Vasdeferens Chopped 1 persons balls off

[Natendo64]

4:01 is the magic moment, nothing but that moment matters to me.

[darthjerell1970]

@Andy345345345345 just as funny hearin' u say it!!!! thanks for a good laugh! ;-)

[VaciliNikoMavich]

ah i rmeber this theme from the StarWars Trilogy arcade game...i always did the battle of hoth first ^_^

[yaniel94]

The Empire has capture the Command Post. .. Our reinforcments has been depleted.

[shmeagol]

[FriendlyCroock]

[blacky3ard]

@FriendlyCroock GEEK!* NOT NERD, GIT IT RITE

[yaniel94]

[MrDui77]

[StrangerYouKnow]

@MrDui77 obviously. lol

[MysticShadowofDeath]

@yaniel94 That game must be revived!

[elmorox35]

@yaniel94 best game ever

[starfire1020]

4:01 is the most sinister sounding piece of music since jaws.

[justincracks]

@starfire1020 agreed that part of the song is awsome its bad ass

[ChadWardenTV]

AT AT's are BADASS!

[chevyracer4]

The first transport is away!

[alan98011]

omg run away!!!! 6:46

*EXPLOSION*

[malathis0]

Shit got real for the Rebels at 4:01

[damian12107]

Bag of ice?

[MrJames00743]

Imperial Troops invaded the base! Imperial Troops invaded th....fdkshfgsd.......sorry...­..I dropped the...thing.

Imperial Troops invaded the base!

[chevyracer4]

@MrJames00743 It's, Imperial Troops have entered the base!

[MsDetroitMan117]

This is Echo Station 3T-8, we have spotted Imperial Walkers!

[musicboy311]

@MsDetroitMan117 "Imperial walkers on the north ridge."

[W0WJake]

4:29-4:50

[johnathankumberland]

As I Was Listening To This a Giant AT-AT Just Blasted The Roof Off My House. God I Need a TonTon

[IntermissionForBunny]

@johnathankumberland: Did it also break your shift key?

[SgtMustang]

@johnathankumberland A Giant AT AT? They made even BIGGER ATATs?

[TheShadowfantom]

@SgtMustang those would be the juggernaughts

[VaciliNikoMavich]

'Two fighters against a star destroyer...?"

[murryduck]

@VaciliNikoMavich 'the ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure that no ships are in your path, when you have gotten past the blockade, proceed directly to the rendezvous point'

just watched the movie again today.

[starflame34]

@murryduck funny, they never thought for a moment they would launch tie fighters. Which makes me wonder: If they can send down ships to drop off AT-ATs, couldn't they send TIEs to destroy the shield generator?

[murryduck]

@starflame34 I'm thinking TIE Fighters wouldn't be able to penetrate the shield because they're not heavily armored enough, but the AT-ATs are

[starflame34]

@murryduck and there woudn't be an awesome ground battle with awesome music if they could anyways =D

[FergusonGames]

@murryduck I was just thinking: If TIE Fighters were sent down to the Battle of Hoth, couldn't the ion cannon at Echo Base shoot them down?

[murryduck]

@FergusonGames No, the Ion Cannon is fixated (god only knows why...) So if they wanted to hit with the Ion Cannon? The TIE would have to be directly in the firing path.

[aracaen]

@murryduck ion cannon can actually traverse according to the Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology, it just can't turn very quickly is all

[MsDetroitMan117]

@FergusonGames TIE s are too fast moving for the Ion cannon to track them. It was designed to target huge and slow Star Destroyers.

[testogel85]

@starflame34 they dropped the ground forces outside of the shield's reach and had them approach the base and the shield in ground assault

shields typically can be penetrated by slow-moving objects, like a water surface

spacecraft such as TIEs couldn't move at a low enough velocity without plunging down to achieve penetration

[megahead360]

its possible to enjoy SW w/ only the bgm.

[Boromir26]

Ohh please people!! Leave the race issues out of this comment page!! Do you think the emperor gives a damn if you're black white asian or a fracking tweelek!?!?! He will dominate you nonetheless! and may the force be with us all!!

[fatehbaz]

1 person is as clumsy as he is stupid

[pump2140]

you told me enough he told me you killed him luke i am  your father

[starflame34]

so this giant AT-AT walker has a lot of fire power and armor. And it can be defeated easily with some trip wire. lol

[Alexandros1294]

Lando's not a system, he's a black guy... in fact, now that I think of it, he might be the only black guy in the galaxy!

[secruztehking]

@Alexandros1294 there was a black x-wing pilot in return of the jedi but he died and there was mace windu but he died too. I guess lando is the only black guy who's alive :P

[DarkthXizov]

@secruztehking Of course, you could make all the guys in the novels but not the comics, movies, or video games black ;)

[starflame34]

@secruztehking or atleast as far as we know! We never see who is in any of those other rebel ships!

[tylord97]

4:30 I love that tuba sound!

[NeidalRuekk]

Very good at suspense building around 2.50 - 3.05. You just KNOW all hell is gonna break loose

[symir547]

4:28

[marcopwns1]

1 ATAT dis liked this vidd

[shadownitron]

@marcopwns1 its the one that got killed from cables XD

[marcopwns1]

@shadownitron yea haha

[Cloud2159]

best star wars movie of all-time most action most drama...still not sure of that.... and more darker and compelling lord vader WOOT :D!

[DarkthXizov]

1:37

I always thought I heard blasters charging up in the background

[anakinfan8]

"Imperial Troops have entered the base! Imperial Troops have entered the -- (drop)

"Sorry,I dropped the-thing".

[ep307]

@anakinfan8 lmfao

[ketelaarproducties10]

rebel: i think we're doomed

jim: nah unless they got some giant robot camels i think we're oke

rebel: ah jim robot camels

jim: hey that one wears crocs!!

XD LMFAO

[adrimonrol1]

los AT AT son los mejores

[TieInterceptorPilot]

@adrimonrol1 whoa! how did you get so many thumbs when you spoke Spanish since most of us speaks English?!? Not that i'm jealous or anything, it's that i'm simply surprise and impressive of you're comment.

[ericksonkicksarse]

Cable out. Let her go!

Detach cable!

Cable detached!

[Kakashi4565]

I feel like I can take on the whole empire myself!

RIP Dak

[jojewan]

Best part: 3:58 - 7:30

[symir547]

Best Star Wars movie. No questions asked

[JimTheJames]

@symir547 It was the best original, yes. Hard for me to compare empire and Revenge. III was my all-time favourite, but it wasn't nearly as legendary as Empire. hard for me to compare.

[GGbreizh]

Un des meilleurs morceaux de l'empire contre-attaque.

[621Chopsuey]

At first, I thought it was "He is as clumsy as he is, stupid." He actually says "He is as clumsy as he is stupid."
