Quote History Quoted:I would argue that the Taun-ton was a tool used by Mr. Solo to save Luke after his escape from the Wampa. Poor Wampa. Luke is gonna get cancelled for removing the harmless beast’s arm.

I have often felt bad for the Wampa. We assume he was coming to eat Luke. The truth is far from it. Let us look at it from the Wampam perspective.
Wampa finds poor human being stolen by a TaunTaun. So what does he do.... knocks this innocent human off the creature and dispatches it. Then he cannot just leave Luke to freeze... so he takes him back to his home. Again... doesn't want to lay him in the cold so he hangs him by his feet so he will not freeze (knowing heat rises). Then he begins to prepare a fresh meal of tauntaun to share with Luke when he awakes. He approaches speaking Wampum asking Luke how he likes his Tauntaun to which the ungrateful human cuts off his arm (cause that's just what people do in his family!) What a jerk! The Wampa was the true hero.
