Here are a few more tidbits I just found, definitely was filmed indoors somewhere:
Preparing to film Luke constructing his new lightsaber in Tatooine cave (ROTJ deleted scene) : StarWars
Lost Return Of The Jedi Footage May Be Fake, George Lucas Is An *******
Star Wars in Death Valley
STAR WARS AFICIONADO WEBSITE: LUKE AND THE LIGHTSABER: RESTORATION OF A JEDI!
"Prior to Celebration V’s announcement, and despite his returning to film a sequence in his X-wing fighter, and Vader’s burial, for JEDI at ILM/ SKYWALKER RANCH six months or so after principal photography had been originally completed, is it possible that Mark Hamill did notfilm this deleted scene? Is it possible that Mark was superimposed onto it? "There has been some question and rumors that Mark Hamill did not shoot the interior cave of the building of the lightsaber in post production at ILM. I was there. And I've never said he did." So, was the footage of Mark cgi’d into the deleted scene? "No. It was not digital. It was a human being (doubling for Luke), but not Mark."
