They say the whole reason for the scene where Luke is mauled by by the Wampa/snow monster in the opening was to explain why Luke looked different in ESB than he had in ANH (because of Mark Hamill's car accident). And yet, watching ESB a few nights ago, I noticed that the Wampa did not actually hit him in the face, the Wampa hit him more in the back of his head. This means the back of Luke's head should be bloodied and not his face, yet we see cuts from the Wampa claws.
