Shao Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 This is directed to the majority of expanded universe novel fans. In Dark Force Rising, Mara Jade explains something to Luke. "Vader nearly died for that blunder." Deliberately, she looked over at Luke's hands. "That was when he lost his right hand, in fact." [pg. 313 par. 4] But didn't Anakin lose his hand in Episode 2? I was reading the book today while in bed (I'm not feeling too well), and that thought came into my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova_wolf Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 In EpII, I think I am right in saying he lost his LEFT FOREARM. But according to Splinter of the Minds Eye, Luke removed it during his first/second (think 2nd) saber duel w/ Vader. And then there is that event Mara notes. Official Canon or not, I believe the order of believing goes: Original Trilogy, EU Books, ........................... ............................ .................. ........................................... ....... ............................................. .............. ................... ...... Prequel Trilogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 In EpII, I think I am right in saying he lost his LEFT FOREARM. Looking through the image archives on theforce.net, I found this picture from SW2, which clearly shows that Anakin's right arm was cut off by Count Dooku. Luke also cut off Vader's right hand in RotJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova_wolf Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Thanks for the setting straight. Thought George Peorge had done it again! (Can see him going that Britney track - urgh! George - no - the pig tails do NOT make you look thinner! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
