This scene is so vividly planted in my mind and I hadn't even heard of, or read the novel back then. So now all that remains is to actually find that footage. I think I have this old recording of Star Wars from the TV somewhere, so I'm gonna check that out and see if I can see Luke missing with that rope of his. Wish me luck, cause that is gonna be one hard to find tape. Ain't even sure it still exists...
If you (or anyone else) can come up with hard evidence of Luke missing the first try with his grappling hook (that is, actual footage rather than hearsay or a description of hazy memories), I'll give you a fine prize: an official vintage 1978 still photo from The Star Wars Holiday Special.Thanks for the input on this fellas.

Hey, I'll even up the ante and throw in an official, vintage German guidebook for one of the Ewok movies that was shown theatrically over there.

P.S. - The same goes for anyone supplying footage of a snowspeeder crashing into the cockpit of General Veers' AT-AT in ESB, or Rebel fleet ships striking the shield in ROTJ.
