Yea, really nice. Should be LOW lagging because there will be only snow and a bit of mountains landscape. Perfect for Live events. Creatures: like 4-5 types. The most tough should be wampas. Secret POI's. Like rebel base 
. And other things. But please - no snowspeeders.

the PRO's
a. Creature Handlers will have new creatures. Eample: ( tauntaun and wampa )
b. The devs can finnally add in Snowspeeders.
c. It would be great to watch a large scale battle between Imperials and Rebels. ( minus all the jedi )
d. Also, i wouldnt mind seeing this planet as hard to get to. It would allow JTL only.

I know you said you didnt want any explination but... were all intitled to our opinions (Or facts in this case)
Tauntauns werenot native to Hoth... remember they froze to death? And the speeders... they were not designed for Hoth either... Quote from the movie "We are haveing a hard time adapting them to the cold". So thoes both could be, and should be implimented without Hoth.
Hoth would be a total waste of development time. It would be an empty planet with a Wampa here and there. And Im sure people dont want to walk around for hours to kill 2 creatures. Hoth was played up to be a dead planet in the movies. The only way it would ever work is if they progressed the timeline and put the rebel base there. But then its gonna be just that... a rebel theam park. Sure it sounds cool on the outside... but if you really look at it... total waste of time in MHO.
Sorry for the long message.
p.s. This really isnt a Jump to Lightspeed topic

I Agree withboth Planets mentioned. The wookie home world and hoth. Of course the deathstar would not be the best because it was destroyed. But it would not hurt to add a couple of none movie planets as well and try adding in a group of new MOBS for those planets never before seen.(ie: Creatures and NPC's).
Consider this SIGNED

I would like to see hoth or the death star as an option for travel for JTLers. First I must state that I am not PvP i have been killed a few times while TEFed but havent gotten into it too much because I see very litle reward for it, oh yeah and i suck at PVP. That said I really think that both locations should be for Overt players.People who want to remain neutral still have THE REST OF THE GALAXY!! It bugs me when people say,but I pay 20 bucks a month for this game...I should be able to go anywhere and everywhere i please....BAAHHH. You can go anywhere just declare overt sometimes. If i dont feel like dieing, or having a chance to die then i wouldnt go. Of course if it were PVP strictly you would have to worry about it becomming a place where noone goes, all you have to do is drop some good loot there and that prob is fixed. Would anyone evergo to dathomir if it wasnt for the loot, high paying missions, or critters that give out great xp? It would be empty.
It would get people to try PvP a more. This is a good thing!!For most people danger=excitement. Too much of anything is a bad thing... everywhere 100% nuetral=boring.Of course 100% PvP can be crappy too, anyone remember mining in a cave in UO and a red comes kills you and takes all you got. I guess its the reason i became the invisable mining grandmastermage. /gazesfondlyintothepast...thengetsangry...damnPKers!! /nastaglia off Anyway, As long as there are enough possible rewards to compinsate being ganked people will go. If you build they it will come...as long is there is PHAT LEWT. Sorry just read the Lewt wars in one of the forums...pretty damn funny. Get us off our Rancor grinding butts andmix it up a little.
So if in 12 years you see the corpse of Inem in bria server on Hoth stop and say "HI...how do you like me now?" or REZZ me DAMNIT!!
later all,
Inem

I just wonder why my post above got 1 starred. I thought those were some good points, in keeping with Hoth being a very inhospitable planet.
*shrug*
Whatever.

The Empire Strikes Back planets were definately the coolest. I would love to see a full version of Hoth complete with Wampa caves an other POI's. I also would love to see Bespin if they add atmospheric flight. Or if they cant then make it similar to space stations.

Having Hoth available would be a great idea (think of all that snow !!).. but I think one of the early posters hit the real obstacle with this. Time line... .
It WOULD still be possible in theory.. The game is "Set" just after the first DS is destroyed.. so we have luke, han, and the rest of the cast spread around.. making plans... and the Imps supposidly Cracking Down on the rebels.
If you've seen the Empire Strikes.. You'll know that the emptire finds Hoth AFTER Han, leia, luke and the crew have hotfooted into hiding. So, all the Devs would need to do would be to move the timeline in SWG on a wee bit. Move Han and friends to Hoth. Course.. You really gotta wonder whether moving the rebel theme park to Hoth would be a good idea. You certainly wouldnt be able to make Hoth a JTL only planet. And would the powers that be really want to start moving content around ?..
I think it would be a damn good idea.. but I'm not so sure it would happen.
What COULD happen would be the introduction of Bespin. THAT could be made a JTL only planet as well.. AND introduce Lando. I reckon this is far more likely to happen.

Lets face it, continuity was thrown out of the window with hordes of smack-talking Jedi with names such as "Dart'h Uber". So that argument is kind of void.
The problem with making a Hoth is that it is technically a dead planet, one of the reasons in which the Rebellion chose it as a base. Of course theres nothing saying that there might be hidden life, such as the Wampa Ice Creature, but it could never really be as good-looking as a planet such as Endor or Yavin, which are teeming with life.
