Last November Youtube user ParadiseDecay created a spectacular Minecraft video re-enacting the famous Death Star trench run from Star Wars. Now, he's made the sequel, recreating the Hoth battle from The Empire Strikes Back.

It's an incredibly ambitious project and unlike George Lucas' actual series, no special effects or mods were used. "Its all vanilla 1.4 Minecraft," noted ParadiseDecay in the Hoth video comments section.
