Base hoth Battle
Star Wars Trivia?
Lets see if anyone really knows Star Wars?
Some are hard questions some are easy. Dont quote me on all of these as being perfect, but I will vote on which ones are right based on what I know.
1. WHen George Lucas was naming R2D2 he could not come up with a name. He decided to use a movie making term. What does R.2.D.2. stand for?
2. What female product are the engine pods on the back of Star Destroyers made out of?
3. In close up shots of the Deathstar surface, what was this made out of (all the same thing)?
4. In Empire Strikes Back, during the battle of Hoth (the ice-snow world) rebel troops battled imperial Walkers. What Noreigan Organization played these troops?
5. In Ep 1 (Phantom Menace) in Watto's Junk Yard as they first enter, there is a prop from another famous sci-fi movie. It is siting on its back with its legs extended. What is this object and what movie did it come from?
1. Reel 2 Dialogue 2 (editor's code for cans of film on American Graffitti, from which Lucas got the name for the Star Wars robot)
2.The Star Destroyer thrusters, for example, were molded from the egg-shaped containers that women's stockings come in.
3.During the filming of the Battle of Hoth, the Echo Base troops were actually Norwegian Red Cross Mountain Rescue Service. In exchange for participation in the film, Lucasfilm made a donation to the Norwegian Red Cross
4. During the design process, the Death Star underwent a number of iterations, though the idea of an immense mechanical sphere was the present in all versions. Some early concept models were silvery in color, and sported a number of mechanical "blisters" on the surface. Another version had the immense laser dish on its equator. In the finished film, the Death Star was a combination of whole models (including one that measured 120 cm in diameter), sectional models (particularly for the station's visible surface during the trench runs), and matte paintings.
5. In Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the EVA pod prop used in the movie version of 2010 can be seen in Watto's junkyard.

Episode V - Chapter 1 Hoth Battle
Lego Star Wars Review Set 7749 Echo Base
The Star Wars Lego set 7749 Echo Base, released in 2009, recreates the famous battle of Hoth as depicted in Star Wars Episode Five, The Empire Strikes Back. The ice planet was the scene for a dramatic confrontation between Imperial and rebel forces and included the memorable AT-AT attack. The 7749 set is an exclusive 10th Anniversary set, meaning it can be purchased from Lego Shop At Home online or through select
This small set, containing 155 pieces, is meant as an all encompassing battle back with figures from both sides as well as a trench, missile-firing defence turret and for the first time ever, a tauntaun. The tauntaun is famous for smelling bad on the inside as well as the outside and it's nice that Lego thought not to include this particular play feature in the model.
All the minifigures are well done, and the set comes with two snow troopers, two Hoth rebel troopers and a Han Solo in snow suit gear, similar to the figure from the 2nd Millennium Falcon (4504) released in 2004. The highlight of the set and the reason why this set will no doubt sell well is the first appearance of the tauntaun. It is a wonderful design and like most Lego versions of film characters, manages to be screen accurate and cute at the same time. A figure can ride in the saddle though the legs cannot be moved.
The actual playset segment of the set is fairly sparse. A simple ice trench is fairly small but effective in design with a very powerful figure-flinging battle action mechanism. It also has, what appear to be new 2X4 right angle flat pieces on the base of the trench which may attract ardent Lego builders. The defence turret comes with flick fire missiles, a seat for a trooper at the top and an internal storage area for a Hoth rebel trooper to fit inside.
Overall a small set with alot going for it and although slightly overpriced at $24.99 it has is highly playable and contains some attractive new pieces.
