Yeah people say Besbin's a gas giant but it certainly doesn't look that way from space nor should you be able to breath in the open air on the cloud city.

I would die laughing if they actually included a saber like this.

It's more interesting than that - the caption does indeed say "A storyboard, dated November 6, 1979, helped visualized another downward looking matte--this one underneath Cloud City for Luke's point-of-view as his lightsaber falls away."
However, the storyboard itself pictured says "Luke's POV - shaft and clouds with object falling".
The object is not obviously a lightsaber or a hand, though.
Certainly nothing regarding Bespin, the saber, or the hand is definitively stated (or made obvious in the film) such that any amount of hand waving either way isn't sufficient to address any later outcome.
My fualt, but my question still stands.

We see people outside at Bespin city multiple times. Living and breathing without any special gear. Seems pretty definite to me. No hand waving needed.

Well, a gas giant having such a habitable zone is the hand waving, I suppose.

Most of the planets in Star Wars requires a bit of hand waving, when you think about. Most habital planets will not be a single biome.
Okay, then assume there's other tubes (in fact, we see many openings aside from the one that sucked Luke in). From the evidence of how the tube dumps anything sliding over the trap door, no matter which tube sucked in the lightsaber, its fate would be the same: dumped out to the open air to--
If it somehow missed the tubes and fell to the bottom of the air shaft, I doubt the hilt would survive.

I still wonder how they got to Bespin without a hyperdrive. The movie does require alot of hand waving. And then there's Hoth, according to the opening scoll it's a planet, but it's reported to Vader that there's force field protecting the ninth planet of the Hoth system.
That the main named planet and the system share a name is not all that uncommon in science fiction.
The old roleplaying game suggested a backup hyperdrive that is slow and perhaps limited range. Han did say that Bespin was pretty far, but he thought they could make it. Such a thing would allow Fett to plot the Falcon's course, inform Lord Vader, get the huge Super Star Destroyer to Bespin and set up a deal with Lando, all before Han arrives. And get thst Star Destroyer someplace in the system where it wouldn't be spotted at first.
This also gives Luke whatever period of time to train with Yoda. Then to stop training with Yoda and head off to Bespin only to arrive just about a dozen minutes too late to actually save Han from being frozen in carbonite.
There use to be theories about habitable zones in Gas Giants where there could be life. Since Bespin was Tibanna gas mining from a giant floating city with satellite units were all we ever saw were clouds, it was assumed the planet was a Gas Giant similar to Yavin. No other explanation was even presented up to the present day that I am aware. Canon still calls it a gas giant.

Nope, It's actually perfectly feasible. No hand waving required.
don't think too much bout science and distances with star wars.
Just like cars can drive between cities here, ships can go between systems in Star Wars.. that's just what they do, hyperspace or not. That being said, I cant drive my car to France, and maybe a ship without a hyperdrive can;t get from the outer rim to Coruscant or those planets, but in general ships can go between systems hyperdrive or not.

So, I was hanging with Artoo today at the former ILM (now 32Ten Studios) for the VES (Visual Effects Society) Summer BBQ, but he absolutely wouldn't tell me any details about the new movie, beeping the equivalent of, "You saw what happened to Dave Prowse for shooting his mouth off!"
I'd say Artoo is the golden boy of Star Wars, but that's his partner really.
Of all the character, I still expect that droid to survive. Even with BB-8 being presented. Artoo in some respects is the chronicler of the sagas. Though to get anything you have to get past his swearing. He's an old school navy droid.

I never saw the rules in the RPG, but this has always been my personal theory on ESB. There is the hyperdrive which transports ships really fast (so that even a one seat X-Wing can make a quick journey) and then there is some other FTL drive that doesn't take you through the same hyperspace.
I think of the events in ESB as being edited for dramatic effect, when in the reality of the story everything up to the point where the Falcon floats away with the space junk happens before Luke even reaches Dagobah. Luke then has months or perhaps years to train with Yoda while the Falcon is travelling to Bespin. (That's the way I interpret the film so don't start spouting EU novels because most of us have never read them!)
It's not much in the way of evidence. A single instance, and it presents very specific circumstances. If Luke had stopped sliding one foot more or less in either direction, would he still have been ejected? If all the wall tubes eject anything and everything that falls into the main shaft, why have them at all? Why not just have a single opening at the bottom instead of a system of curved tunnels?
Of all the zany fantasy things in the SW universe, it feels weird to focus on something that wasn't even shown one way or the other. We can say for sure that Luke lost his saber that day...anything else is pretty much up for grabs.
