We knew that holding the Winter Olympics on the remote ice planet of Hoth was a bad idea

As we all know, this year’s Winter Olympics are being held on the frozen ice planet of Hoth, the sixth planet of the remote Hoth system in the Anoat sector.

Many people were originally critical of setting up the Olympic Rebel base on such a lifeless planet, but it would help to prevent detection by the Empire and their armed forces. All has not gone to plan however, as was seen over the past few days when the ski slope was discovered by a fleet of AT-AT walkers during an event, and the ensuing carnage was captured on film by Anders Breinholt.

No matter how devastating the attacks by the AT-AT walkers on the athletes, it is nothing compared to the firepower of the fully armed and operational battle station that is the Kremlin. Sorry, we meant Death Star.
