Even watching the scene in freeze frame and with a zoom feature, I still can not tell.In Empire Strikes Back, when Luke falls out from under Cloud City and lands on that antenna – and incidentally totally screwing up Cloud City’s reception of the Sox in the final series – some object falls past him and into the clouds.Is this Luke’s hand, holding his father’s (i.e. Anakin) light-saber?It fell down the same central section of Cloud City he did, albeit before he let go of the structure to spite Vader. As such, the hand holding the light-saber could have been sucked into the same exhaust or waste removal piping that Luke got sucked into. If that happened, then when Luke was ejected from Cloud City, the hand and light-saber would also have been ejected.As I wrote above, I have watched this scene in freeze frame and with a zoom feature and I still cannot get a good enough look at it to tell. On the one hand (pardon the pun), I have not seen Luke drop anything else on his way down. On the other hand, the hand and light-saber are not evident in the pipe he gets sucked into. So what is it that tumbles past him, falling into the clouds?</blockquote>
