    Did you know the moment Luke is first blasted out of the Bespin window in The Empire Strikes Back was not performed by Mark Hamill?

    That brief flying-out shot was actually done by stuntman Colin Skeaping, while Hamill was used for later parts of the sequence, including the shots of Luke hanging beneath Cloud City.

    But also, did you realize that Luke only really fell 6 or 7 feet in the story?

    You can clearly see the broken window in another shot that makes it all clear
