50. How did the lightsaber really break loose from the snow in The Empire Strikes Back? Answer: When Luke is hanging upside down in the Wampa cave, he is desperate to get his lightsaber unstuck from the snow. By using the force, he is able to free the lightsaber and then himself. Filming was quite different, however. Mark Hamill threw the lightsaber into the snow. Then, by rewinding the film, it looked like the force was pulling the lightsaber back to him.
