It was n’t that he had been there before , and could just divine its location because of that alone , but that Luke used the Force in that cave to rip his lightsaber toward him - something he had never done before .

Luke Skywalker used the Force practically for the first meter in that cave when he pulled his lightsaber toward him right before his fight with the Wampa .
