For one, the imperial fleet didn't know that the rebels knew that they were coming. therfore, they saw no need for the interdictor.

interdictor Cruisers are weak, and reqiure other ships to protect, they also fire a cone of gravity that can be evaded by a good pilot. the battle of hoth was done with the fleet that could be put together at the time, probably without the rare and expensive inderdictors. also, the ion cannnon could have taken out any that existed.

A much better movie was SPACE BALLS. The whole scene where the ship turns into a giant maid with a vacuum cleaner at which point they try to take all the air out of some planet and they accidentally press the self destruct and circus animals and performers all race for the escape pods and the pizza delivery guy who gets in a pod just as Dark Helmet tries to get in and says SORRY, PIZZA TO GO! The 2nd best scene is at the end in the diner where the ALIEN chest burster bursts out of the guy from Alien's chest, dances across the counter and two other guys say CHECK PLEASE!

I do believe interdictor cruisers are cannon, and as far as i know they only produce a cone shaped gravity well which doesn't have an infinite range. Thus if you are outside the cone, you are good to go.

one problem you're going to have with any star wars novel not written by george lucas is other writers creating new characters and ships that don't appear in any of the films. that was the main problem with all the sequel star trek series and novels, too many writers contradicting one another. as far as i'm concerned, if george didn't mention the interdictor cruisers they probably don't exist. of course, i could be completely wrong. take care.

Where as it is not mentioned in the movies whether or not Interdictor Cruisers exist, there are a few elements that lead to rebel's escape from Hoth almost unscathed.
1: Vader ordered the assault on Hoth rather quickly with the cruisers he had at the time.
2: Admiral Ozzel, the Imperial Officer who lead the assault, dropped the cruisers out of hyperspace too earlky, giving the rebels enough time to prepare to hoist anchor.
3: The base at Hoth fired upon the Imperial Carriers with a planetary defense Ion Cannon, which disabled many of the Carriers as the rebel ships passed by,
and 4: Interdictor gravity wells take a few minutes to charge up, giving quick thinking pilots a chance to blast off into hyperspace before the gravity well is projected.

Interdictor Cruisers had been invented during the Great Hyperspace War and one of the Sith Wars. In other words, 4,000 yrs before the "Old" republic, you know, the one with Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. However, Thrawn, I believe it is, is correct; the concept of the Interdictor cruiser is NOT the work of George Lucas, and thus not in any of the movies. However, most games, books, and other such material that was NOT originally the idea of George Lucas occasionally mentions Interdictor Cruiser.
Btw, I don't take it way too seriously, I'm just a star wars nut with too much time on my hands XD!

I agree with Ithorian. Some people take these movies WAY too seriously.

even at the height of imp. power I. C.'s were few and far between. although smaller than an impstarII,they cost about three forths the price, due to personnel shielding, and high power engines. also interupter circiuts and other goodies that kept them from falling into thier own "well"

In the X-Wing Games I believe the Intordictors are distroyed in a raid on a spaceport of somekind. Perhaps they hadn't been rebilt by the time the Hoth base was evacuated, but were rebuilt by the time of the Battle of Endor.

Even if George Lucas had used these interdictor cruisers in the movie, the sclae of the battle was maassive.
The interdictor cruiser cant project a gravity well the size of the entire system, its range is probably around 9 minutes of travel time (based on books). For the interdictor, a very rare, poorly protected and expensive craft, it would practically have to be withing range of the rebel fleets fighters to make a difference.
Therefore any interdictor that existed would not have been risked in open battle because of their vulnerability.

Mabye they did not have indicters because the empire was focused on building real war ships. Also they could have had them but had not prodused them en mass because of the cost of gravity well projecters.

Interdictor cruisers are not a product of George Lucas, and therefore was not in any of the movies
