So, in the beginning of The Empire Strikes Back, Luke is somewhere far out in an arctic blizzard. The fact that he's far out can be concluded from a little bit later on, when Han Solo goes out on a search & rescue for him and they tell him "Your Ton-Ton will freeze to death before the first marker". Skywalker gets attacked by this Snow Beast that kills his Ton-Ton and drags him back to his cave and sticks him into the cave roof, hanging by his feet. When he gets to, he uses the force to get his lightsaber back and the snow creature attacks him. He's got a light saber. He swipes the creatures arm right off. He's now standing in a nice cozy ice cave with a one-armed ice creature in front of him and he's wielding a lightsaber. He could just simply point it and walk forward and the creature would be shish-kebab. A few flicks of his wrist and the entire beast would be BBQ mince meat. Does he do that? No, instead he pisses his snowsuit and runs out of the cave, right into a freakin' sub-zero blizzard, on foot, God knows how far away from their base. So, instead of just going "Zoom Zoom Zoom. You're a nice pile of roasted meat now, snowtard. I'm gonna sit the storm out right here", he rushes straight into what would have been certain doom, if it weren't for Han Solo having a death wish.

This begs the question. Is the one who will bring balance to the Force a fainting daisy or simply just not the sharpest tool in the box?

See? Right there!

One Stormtroomer gets taken by a Wampa and two others, blast guns ready... they are expecting a fight, for crying out loud... just freakin' STAND THERE.
They best they could muster was pressing a button and closing the door again.

TRIGGERS, BITCHES? HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEM?

This goes a lot deeper than I previously thought. I'm beginning to suspect that Trisomy-21 is quite widespread in the Star Wars universe.

Bigger Luke, commonly abbreviated to BL, or more uncommonly BgL, is the slightly larger manifestation of Luke Skywalker that is said to appear in certain scenes of the original Star Wars Trilogy, contrasting to Regular Luke.

The appearance of Bigger Luke in a particular scene is generally, but not always, judged relative to the height of Han Solo, and as such Han is the primary go-to frame of reference amongst Bigger Luke Theorists. Because of this, "No Han Pics"(commonly abbreviated to NHP) are generally discouraged, as it is very difficult to determine Luke's height without Han Solo as a constant frame of reference. Whilst uncommon, the use of other Star Wars characters to judge Luke's height are not unheard of. The second most common character to judge if Bigger Luke is in the scene or not has generally been Obi-Wan, followed closely by Princess Leia. The activity of combing the original Star Wars trilogy for instances of Bigger Luke is known as Luking.

There have been many elaborate theories as to why there exists a larger version of Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars films, however most theories fall into two general categories:

The Canon Luke Hypothesis, sometimes simply The Bigger Luke Hypothesis, in which it is theorized that within the Star Wars universe and canon there does indeed exist a version of Luke Skywalker that is slightly larger than a posited regular Luke Skywalker, or Luke Prime.

The Hamill Hypothesis, in which it is theorized that there exists an uncredited Mark Hamill look-alike who was used in certain scenes of the original trilogy for undisclosed reasons and whose identity has yet to be determined.

The Canon Luke Hypothesis is the most popular of the two, with the Hamill Hypothesis a close second.

Another commonly held theory is that Princess Leia's comment towards Luke shortly before being rescued (Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?) is a thinly-veiled acknowledgement of the existence of a size discrepancy between different versions of Luke Skywalker.

Loss of rationality and logical thinking skills are certain to go when you're suffering from extreme cold. Couple that with a traumatic injury and a fight or flight response and it's well within reason that Luke would have acted like that.

What I'm saying is that it's you. You're the dummy.
