Hoth

The Movies

Located in the Hoth system is a chaotic asteroid field filled with dangerous swarms of colliding rocks. Stray bodies from the field get caught in Hoth's gravity well, and enter the ice planet's atmosphere, becoming meteorites.

Expanded Universe

Occupying the outermost orbit in the Hoth system is a chaotic asteroid belt, the result of two rocky planets colliding eons ago. The impact shattered both worlds, scattering a wide storm of asteroids throughout the system.

Behind the Scenes

To create the asteroids, Industrial Light & Magic used polystyrene pieces surfaced with plaster. Each asteroid had to be filmed separately against bluescreen, and later composited optically.
