Luke: Echo Three to Echo Seven. Han, old buddy, do you read me?
Han Solo: Loud and clear, kid. What's up?
Luke: Well, I finished my circle. I don't pick up any life readings.
Han Solo: There isn't enough life on this ice cube to fill a space cruiser. Sensors are placed. I'm going back.
Luke: Right. I'll see you shortly. There's a meteorite that hit the ground near here. I want to check it out. It won't take long.

Did You Know?
Goofs
Revealing mistakes: During the battle on Hoth when Luke says "Alright I'm coming in" if you look on the black trim on the left side of the cockpit you can see the AT-AT through it. (Visible in the original theatrical version, partially-fixed on the Special-Edition VHS release and subsequent DVD releases to where the trim is less transparent). See more »Quotes
