    He didn't retrieve it, it was attached to his hand when it fell, Vader ordered both of them retrieved they were placed in his meditation chamber on the Executor before being moved to the planet Wayland were they were stored in Palpatine's store house on Mount Tantiss.

    Just being informative @Trevor anyway Im glad parts of Luke still survived to come back & temporarily haunt him at least when Luke give Mara Anakin's lightsaber at least it would be wielded for a purpose of good for once.

    Right. I saw the post earlier that you responded to but was "off on another adventure" for a while. Thanks for speaking up on that!!

    The hand and lightsaber were recovered by an ugnaught at the bottom of the shafts. Vader confiscated the hand and the blade and killed the ugnaught that found it. He presented them to the Emporer who placed both items in his secret storage facility on Wayland.(thrawn)

    Exactly. I expect we will get an amalgamation of the EU with different names. Paying homage without having to weed thru every story arc. No reason to think a Mara Jade/Shira Brie character won't factor in....

    I need to read more EU I know of but not read. I like the idea of Mara Jade but the time period where she would be relevant is shortly after Jedi. Unless Palpatine's "in the event of my death" has more to it than kill Luke Skywalker.

    The book is wrong. If you re-watch The Empire Strikes Back, you'll notice that Luke's hand and lightsaber fell out of the hatch that opened up right before Luke fell out and grabbed the antenna. Here is an image from the movie:

    You are correct, it was to bad it didn't show it as a deleted scene in TESB.
    I really thought it was a fragment of the antenna. No way.
    Palpatine's last order ''you will kill Luke Skywalker'' lay at the core of Mara's rage at the time I do not know how she kept it at bay, Luke brave to even be near her & claim to help her I guess if she hadn't killed Luuke the clone of Luke, Luke may have been forced to kill her eventually.
    No probs.
    Just read it nice.

    Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a problem-solving principle devised by William of Ockham (c. 1287–1347), who was an English Franciscan friar and scholastic philosopher and theologian. The principle states that among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Other, more complicated solutions may ultimately prove correct, but—in the absence of certainty—the fewer assumptions that are made, the better.

    Let's look at a model of the antenna, so we can see the whole thing at the same time:

    Luke # 1.jpg

    Here's Luke exiting the shaft. Notice that he's not hitting anything on his way out:

    Luke # 2.jpg

    Here's Luke standing on the antenna. Nothing is missing from it. Also, he still has his blaster, so we know it wasn't his blaster and holster that fell:

    Luke # 3.jpg

    Here's Luke sitting on the antenna. Nothing is missing from it:

    Luke # 4.jpg

    Here's Luke hanging from the antenna. Nothing is missing from it:

    Luke # 5.jpg

    Movie audiences saw Luke's hand, holding his lightsaber, amputated. They saw them drop from view. They then saw something drop out of the shaft right before Luke. They did not see Luke hit any part of the antenna before landing. Logic dictates that the object was Luke's hand and lightsaber, nothing else. Whoever disagrees will need to provide proof from the movie. The book is not canonical.

    Anything is possible but the real reason to have Mara-Jade show up is for her to try and kill Luke and somehow fall in love with him. If she doesn't end up Luke's wife then why keep the name around. If you want a cool bad girl who stirs things up that is can happen but if she doesn't fall for Luke then its not really Mara Jade. So if they do a spin-off who plays Luke. I think if Luke has kids you will get a reference to the kid's mom and she will be featured in various other media that can feature Luke as well that don't require a 20 years younger Mark Hamill.

    I could see a Mara Jade name drop and that's it. Like that could be the reason Luke goes into seclusion. Mara died and Luke went into a deep depression.

    Great shots of Luke.

    Well a loss of your wife would do that, she was his weakness they argued over Jacen Luke didn't listen she died thats the result.
    As for the spin-off debut I think it should only focus on her emperor hand years, they were good.
