Luke VS. The Abominable Snow Man/Wampa in ESB - oddly enough, the wampa didn't hit him in the face

That's what I'm saying - if you watch the scene you see that the wampa doesn't actually hit Luke in the face, he hits Luke in the back of the head and this knocks him off the taun-taun.

You've obviously not seen 'Building Empire' yet. Several 'official' sources have told me that Mark's injuries were not that bad. Mark himself has said that he only broke his nose. Stories of massive facial reconstruction are untrue.
Lucas himself has said that the scene did not exist for this reason.
I guess we will never know the truth though. Who to believe??

Frankly, it looks to me like Hamill suffered far more than a broken nose, and that his fairly drastic difference in appearance was certainly noticeable ... perhaps even requiring some sort of explanation in the film.
Either way, I don't like the opening ... and I might be more forgiving if it was not there simply to explain Luke's messed-up face.

They've always denied that the Wampa scene had anything to do with MH's real-life injuries. Supposedly the scene would have been in there regardless.
Also, MH definitely had more than a broken nose. His upper lip was injured- and he still has visible scars above it, and his front teeth were broken (he met his future wife at the dentist's office where he was having reconstructive dental-work).

Yeah, that's kinda annoyed me, too. Still, it does serve the story in one way since it's when Luke encounters Ben who tells him to go to Dagobah. We're just going to ignore the fact that Ben could have come to Luke any old way, but it would have been much less interesting had Luke just been sitting around talking to a 2-1B when suddenly Ben's ghost pops up and says, "Hey. Um, stop goofing around and go to Dagobah, lard ass!"

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Maybe he could just digitally alter Luke's face throughout the entire film, to look exactly as he did in Star Wars ... and, ya know, eliminate that whole Waampa business altogether!
