So, Luke gets his hand cut off, he jumps down and gets sucked into the drain thing... Once he falls out and catches himself, he looks down with big eyes and sees something that falls down into the clouds...
Is that his hand? I never seen his hand slide down with him, i never thought it was his hand, but i have no clue at all what it is. Any explanation to this?
Worst case, wait 'til the Blu-ray comes out later this year, we'll get a better look at it then.
Then we will see the true reason his Daddy cut off his hand. Son, was flipping Daddy V off while holding his saber.
No one gives Daddy the bird.
Word.
i was thinking the same a few minutes ago.....
i dont think it is his hand.......the item looked to squarish
It's definitely his hand if you go by the EU.
They cloned Luuke (clever spelling....NOT) from it.
I wondered about it when the film came out. Just figured that his hand and saber had gotten sucked into the same vent as Luke. It took the weight of a person to open the vent and drop Luke out.
Will be interested to see the blu-ray answer.

I always thought it was part of the antenna he lands on- that it broke off and fell away.
His severed hand is nowhere to be seen when he comes to a stop halfway through his vent ride.

I agree with the broken antenna idea. It looks like debris, not his hand. Not only is his hand nowhere to be seen before the dump door opens, there were several other ports to get sucked into. Assuming they were all functional, it is just as likely his hand did not even get sucked into the same port to begin with.
btw, SSgt Burton: your sig is one of my all time favorite short films.
It was just random debris to show you the drop. His hand, which according to the Zahn Trilogy was recovered, didn't fall because it would be impossible to recover from a gas planet.
I highly doubt that's his hand. I mean if it were, the only thing I could see is it landing on a tie fighter while they're flying around
"Control, we have nothing to repDUDE WHAT THE **** IS THAT!!! Is that a hand?!?! Where the **** did that come from?? That's ****ing gross!!!! What is it holding?!?! Is that a ****ing d*ldo??? Man you cloud city bastards are ****ed in the head!!!"
I always figured it was a random piece of junk, or part of the antenna.
The scene is a homage to the old cartoons: Wile E. Coyote stops short right at the edge of a cliff, and we get a view looking down and see a pebble falling. Visual clue- it's a long way down!
I always thought it was his career hahaha. But really I think it's a broken off piece of the antenna.
Silly! It was Luke's sexuality. The entire movie is a metaphor for accepting ones own homoerotic compulsions. At least that is what I got from it....Hobo Wan Kenobi said:
For some reason I always thought it was Luke's blaster, That fell out of his holster.
Always thought it was one of the pouches from his belt.
"Don't stick your saber out too far,
it might go home in another (cloud) car."
I always thought it was some trash being dumped; I just could never figure out what it would have been. Let's go to the videotape!
Always assumed it was some random gear of his, used to illustrate the film convention:
The Apple Falls Far - Television Tropes & Idioms
And the clouds BELOW him couldn't convey that to the audience? Man, people are so daft :Probn1 said:
His hand and saber proceeded him considerably..
I assume these mechanisms were in place to assure that no foreign object damage occured to the reactor at the bottom of the shaft or whatever was down there that kept the city aloft.
So whatever it was entered those purging ducts at the same time as he did or it is a broken off bit of antenna or other debris.
It's his blaster.
This has bugged me since I was a little kid watching on VHS...not too long ago I slowed it down on DVD on my computer and I'm 95% certain it's his DL-44, although I can't guarantee it.
An easy way to find out would be to notice if he has the blaster after boarding the Falcon. That is of course, assuming that the continuity is true to base...
Hello, Hello is this thing on.
The EU is canon.
It was his hand and lightsaber.
You guys aren't allowed to re-write the script, you're not qualified.
I dont think George Lucas was qualified to write the script either.....
