How the heck did Luke get his father's original lightsaber back? I mean, it fell down the air duct along with his hand when Vader lopped it off in Empire. Who found it? Did he later go back for it and found it floating around in the sky somewhere? Did he build another one after Jedi, somehow nearly identical to his Father's?

JJ...you have some explaining to do...

It's been said that Vader went back to Cloud City after the Falcon escaped and found Luke's hand and the lightsaber in a smelting area. Some Ugnaughts were about to discard them but Vader, shall we say, persuaded them to relinquish both items to him. Later on, Vader presented both the lightsaber and the hand to the Emperor who stated they would become his most prized trophies.
