"Biggs" is a boyhood friend of Luke. Bigs went off to the flying academy ahead of Luke. (In the radio show (and the book?) of ANH, there is a sequence where Biggs comes back after graduation and announces he is joining the rebels.) Thus the reference during ANH of "just like Baker's canyon back home" or some such. As to RotJ and the Luke-Vader struggle, there is DEFINITELY a clatter after Luke throws away his light sabre. It takes a while (he throws it hard?) and it is way off to stage left and comparatively faint, but I have noticed it each time.
