| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:47 | comment | added | Valorum | Lots of lightsaber stuff was removed from these scenes "YODA: That would matter not were the Force flowing through you. Higher you’d jump! Faster you’d move! Open yourself to the Force you must. Luke: [grabs his laser sword from the mud, ignites it and jumps up.] LUKE: I’m open to it now! I feel it. Come on, you little flying bastards! [As he moves toward the hovering balls with a poised saber and ferocious look, they draw away, retreating to the area around Yoda’s head.] YODA: No, no. This will not do. Anger is what you feel. LUKE: But I can feel the Force flowing! | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:40 | comment | added | Valorum | In the radio play, they explain it by having Yoda out of range of the lightsaber YODA: Feel like what, stranger? LUKE: Like we're being watched! Don't you move, shorty, or I'll blow you right out of that tree! | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:38 | comment | added | Valorum | The new canon novelisation is even less use. It retcons the events of the film; "You leap to your feet and spin at the same time, hands raised in self-defense. Half a meter from you sits one of the strangest creatures you have ever seen. He’s bluish-green, with long ears and bulging eyes. Your hand creeps slowly toward your lightsaber. “Who are you?” you demand. | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:35 | comment | added | Valorum | Nothing helpful in the junior novel "“Feel like what?” a strange, croaking voice interrupted. Luke’s blaster flashed from its holster and he was suddenly aiming at a short, squat alien who sat on a nearby stump. “Like we’re being watched!” Luke finished." or the trilogy novel "That wasn’t Artoo’s voice! Luke leaped up, grabbed his pistol, then spun around, peering into the gloom to try to find the source of those words." | |
| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:30 | comment | added | Valorum | In the original script, ↑↑↑ Luke goes for his blaster earlier in the scene and then reholsters it. When Yoda turns up, he pulls his lightsaber but I'm guessing the aim was to save the reveal of the Jedi weapon for later in the film. | |

| Jun 2, 2021 at 16:29 | comment | added | Valorum | STRANGE VOICE: Feel like what? [Luke jumps out of his skin. Artoo screeches in terror. The young warrior grabs for his lightsaber as he spins around, looking for the speaker. Mysteriously standing right in front of Luke is a strange, bluish creature, not more than two feet tall. The wizened little thing is dressed in rags. It motions toward Luke's sword.] LUKE: (looking at the creature) Like we're being watched! CREATURE: Away with your weapon! I mean you no harm. [After some hesitation, Luke puts away his weapon, although he really doesn't understand why.] | |
