The Star Wars CED is identical to the 1982 and 1983 laserdiscs--which differ only in panning and scanning to the VHS and subsequent laserdisc counterparts. There is no missing or additional footage. Claims such as Luke throwing the grappling hook twice are nothing but myths with absolutely no validity.

not a myth

were you there opening day, Paramus, NJ??

And since other people are now claiming to have seen it too, wouldn't it be pretty bizarre for people to have day dreamed up some a random thing?

It extended the length of the scene a bit too and built up a lot more tension as the racheting up of the blast door was prolonged. I've been mentioning this for years upon years and tired of everyone always saying I made it up. As soon as I got a modem, I mentioned it way back in the BBS days, maybe only 12 years after SW had been released and I have notes I wrote about it from way, way earlier than that.
