What
     do you bring to wear when you're meeting an acclaimed Jedi Master? 
  Why   your best brown, of course! Like Han and Leia, Luke is afforded 
  many a   change of outfit throughout the trilogy (sorry Chewie!). This
   outfit,   which we actually see first on Dagobah then on   
Bespin, has a   lot of pockets for all your survival needs. You will   
also notice that a   deactivated lightsaber is hanging from Luke's   
utility belt.
This   Luke comes with a 
lightsaber (in   yellow, and not the true blue) and a   the same blaster
 pistol that Han   carries. The figure has a variation in   the hair 
coloring - it got   darker blonde later in its run. Bespin Luke   came 
on two ESB cards   (they changed the background photo) and an ROTJ   
card.
Why should you get this figure? Five reasons:
1. This and Jedi Luke are the essential dueling figures.
3. Comes with a lightsaber and a blaster! How can you go wrong?
4. Sorry - a detraction - his hand does not come off (at least, not until the new Bespin Luke in the 1990's).
5. Recreate the harrowing hanging-by-his-knees-under-Cloud-City ordeal. Wait...his knees don't bend. Damnit!
Backstory:
I'll refer you to the Wookieepedia article for Luke's full story,
     and just add that in this outfit he not only gets trained by a Jedi
     Master, he also fights one and loses his hand. Keep this outfit for
     nostalgia, man!
