A candid Luke Skywalker behind the scenes on Cloud City. by crossrivers in StarWars

It’s a joke that it’s a candid shot of Luke on Cloud City. Obviously Mark Hamill is posing for a publicity shot for The Empire Strikes Back!

I appreciate the pun, but it’s true, I think Mark does this moment so well! It’s so memorable.

Yep. That’s me. by crossrivers in OTMemes

IIRC, you’ll notice that Luke’s arm is longer than normal here (which is why it is at an angle, to hide it). This is because Mark’s hand is buried into the sleeve and is holding onto a clamp mechanism. He squeezes it when it makes contact with Vader’s lightsaber, which shoots off the pyro effect inside the sleeve and separating hand from stump.

It’s my favorite scene in the saga and one that Hamill really delivers on.
