Talk:Ghosts of Hoth

Non-canon
"Captain Solo, [Chewbacca] refuses to open the door until someone tells him who originally built and lived in this base."

- C-3PO "Who was here before the Rebels arrived?"

- Han Solo

There were no settlers who built Echo Base and were later killed by wampas, leaving behind an abandoned hideout for the Alliance. Before the Rebels arrived, Salmakk used the cave that would later become Echo Base for his smuggling operations. Later Kem Monnon and the Alliance Corps of Engineers carved the Rebel base out of the ice. Of course there may have been settlers on Hoth before that, but that's not what this story is about. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 19:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
