Hey everyone, my friend and I were talking about the Ice Planet Hoth when I thought, "Is there a lava planet Hoth? Why do they always make the distinction of "Ice Planet" when they're talking about Hoth? Is there more than one Hoth?" So i was wondering if any of you could help me out with it. Thanks.

Are you serious? Why aren't you bothered by the 'Forest Moon of Endor'?

well that wasn't in the conversation, but now that you bring it up...

Endor has multiple moons, right? So "Forrest moon" is a way to clarify which moon.

Also, I never said I was bothered. I was asking why, that's all. Way to be useful.

Okey dokey, if you really want an answer, by adding the two simple words "ice planet" in front of Hoth, GL let us know in the simplest way possible that this is a frozen, desolate ****-hole of a planet, but then again, I'm pretty sure you could have figured that out on your own which is why I questioned whether you were serious.

Yea that's all i wanted to know. If it was merely added description or if there was indeed another "Hoth" that they just never talked about.

See, was that so hard? Thank you.

"And seriously folks, what's up with ice planets?"

There are at least six planets in the Hoth System. Maybe more.

Because that's what it is. As opposed to being a gas giant like Bespin or Yavin.

Whaaaat was that sonny? Type a little louder; I can't hear your.


Personally, I was hoping they would have gone with "Casino Hoth".
