The Force is definitely not with Luke Skywalker in this gameplay clip from Star Wars Battlefront's Battle for Hoth mission uploaded by YouTube user Zephs86.

In the clip, posted Friday, we see an Imperial Snowtrooper shooting wildly at Luke, hitting the Jedi Knight a few times before Skywalker realizes what's going on and sets his sights on the Snowtrooper. The Snowtrooper attempts to frantically flee the Jedi, using a combination of sprints and a jump pack to retreat near an AT-AT.

Just when it looks like Skywalker is going to defeat the Snowtrooper with his trusty lightsaber, Luke forgets to account for the massive Imperial Walker and is crushed under the mighty weight of the walker's foot.

And for good measure, the AT-AT makes sure to step on the Jedi's body once more with another foot, just to ensure the Jedi was defeated once and for all.

You can watch the clip for yourself above. Trust us when we say it's so funny even Mark Hamill himself said on Twitter that he greatly enjoyed watching his character get "squashed like a bug."

Star Wars Battlefront, a first-person shooter from Electronic Arts, is coming to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 17 in the US, and November 19 in the UK and Australia.
