Was this ever explained in ROTJ?

Was there a scene missing or something? I recall that it may have been from a scene that wasn't put in, but I'm not too sure. So wondering if anyone knows what, because it seems weird for Luke to just have his lightsaber up in the air like that.

When viewed in context, I think the blast was simply meant to have caught Luke in between strikes.

Still pretty stupid, though. 👆

They wanted Luke to wear a kewl glove.

But the scene before, he wasn't surrounded by any enemies.

I know.

Maybe it was an "I have the power!!11!1!!" moment..?

Dunno actually. Good point.

Must be an editing thing, I guess.

I say we just blame Jar Jar Binks and move on with our lives

Good point. I agree.
