Han Solo never says, 'And I thought they smelled bad on the outside.' He does however mention that if he doesn't get the shelter built in time, ' Jabba won't need those bounty hunters.'.The probe droid reacts by disintegrating the creature with its blaster. One of them is the droid's encounter with a wampa, which attacks it.

The novel has more scenes with the probe droid and its journey to locate the Rebel base on Hoth.

Continuity But even on that icy, backwater planet, they could not escape the evil Darth Vader's notice for long. Now, several months later, the Rebels have established an outpost on the frozen wasteland of Hoth. Though they had won a significant battle, the war between the Rebels and the Empire had really just begun. When Vader captures Luke's friends, Luke must decide whether to complete his training and become a full Jedi Knight or to confront Vader and save them.Luke, Han and Princess Leia's story didn't end with the destruction of the Death Star-it continues in The Empire Strikes Back. While Vader relentlessly pursues the small band of Luke's friends-Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, and others-across the galaxy, Luke studies the Force under Jedi Master Yoda. The Galactic Empire, under the leadership of the villainous Darth Vader and the Emperor, is in pursuit of Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Rebel Alliance.
