Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader (David Prowse and James Earl) engage in a lightaber duel that ends with Vader severing Luke's right hand. Vader tempts him to join the dark side, but Luke refuses, claiming that Vader killed his father. Vader then reveals to Luke that he is his biological father. Oh, the drama!
