...soooooooo was anything done to fix the continuity mistake in terms cutting in cave? You know how Luke swipes 10-meters away from the Wampa and the arm falls into frame?

Every time I ask this question, people go off on a tangent about icicles and music and things that don't need to be changed.

I'm merely asking if this was even addressed by ady.

There is no mistake there at all. Look closely at that scene again. The Wampa is hell of a lot closer than you think. Plus Luke is lunging forward as he takes the swing. He only cuts the arm off below the elbow, although they really screwed it up in the special edition and had the whole arm severed.

Seconded Adywan.

Luke raises his saber and the Wampa is a 2 or 3 feet away...

Luke swings and the Wampa is 1 or 2 feet away...

The Wampa gets closer still after that shot and lets remember a Wampa has huge long arms like an Orangutan. As Adywan says Luke only chops the lower half the Wampa's arm off (Or even just a third). So nothing wrong with this scene at all in the theatrical cut.

If you're only watching the SE Asteroid-Man. Then yes the distance in the scene is all wrong (But what do you expect, it's the SE after all).
