The one thing that we know for certain about the origins of the Wampa attack is that it all began in a galaxy that’s actually outs. Mark Hamill had a car accident that left his face quite visibly injured. He had to undergo some serious procedures to get better and still, his face would always look different. So what about that of Luke? According To George Lucas, the Wampa attack was always meant to be there. Some producers have only admitted that it was moved in the chronology to precede the rest of The Empire Strikes Back, thus explaining Luke’s facial features. Others say that with so many years between A New Hope and its sequel, Luke’s mauled face could have been easily explained without devoting an entire scene to it. As many details as we might find, we’ll never know for sure.
