The shield generator did not cover the entire planet, just the base. The AT-ATs had to land outside the perimeter of the shield and slowly walk their way in through the shield and then into gunnery range.

Also hoth base had hella anti air and anything would have been shot down.

They were dug in as poo poo which is why they were able to hide ion cannons that could take out star destroyers in orbit.

Now you're just some QB that I used to know

The real answer is movie budget I'm sure.

However, they were able to land ground forces beyond the shield because the Hoth shield just covered the base, not the entire planet.

Right, I get that part. But that doesn't mean you can't have some TIE fighters flying in circles around them. And sure, the local anti-air forces might be good, but you can't launch your own air based offensive against the ATAT's and have the anti-air barrage going at the same time. The second you send out your air force, the anti-air poo poo has to stop, and that's when the enemies air force comes in.

Whatever your criticisms are of any battle in the original trilogy, there are literal volumes explaining every single detail.

Lets ignore your thoughts on the dialog and such in the prequels and instead bask in the effort put to have concepts seen in the original trilogy in predecessory states, with this being a good example people don't think about very often.

I suppose if they have enough resources to have a big honking EMP gun they had enough for stuff to shoot at snub fighters which gave the Rebels local air superiority which is the only reason they managed to do anything. Also its possible the shield stops stuff at a sufficient speed so if your in it already your fine so the rebels could fly around but no TIEs were gonna get in.
