However, Palpatine discovered Vader's deception and ordered him to bring Skywalker's severed hand and lightsaber to his private storehouse at Mount Tantiss on Wayland. As Vader boarded his shuttle to leave Cloud City, he briefly contemplated creating a clone of Skywalker from the severed hand to serve as his own apprentice. Vader intervened and took both the severed hand and the lightsaber as trophies for Galactic Emperor Palpatine. The hand and lightsaber were discovered in a pile of scrap by an Ugnaught named Groggin in Cloud City's Smelting Core D, who intended to melt the lightsaber down for metal. Luuke Skywalker was created from tissue cells taken from the severed hand of Luke Skywalker, which was lost along with Skywalker's lightsaber during a duel with the Dark Lord Darth Vader on Cloud City in 3 ABY.
