Star Wars V Empire Strikes Back: Luke vs. Vader

The (EPIC!!!!) battle that changed it all. Luke's friends had been captured by the empire (their escape was taken out due to time restraints), and young Skywalker springs the trap set for him by the galactic empire. In one of the ultimate battles of good and evil of the entire series, Luke discovers why Darth Vader is so intent on capturing Luke.
Notes: This video was used from the special edition version, so there will be some changes from the actual original movie that you hardcore fans will not like (I agree with you, but I have no choice). Also, I do not own Star Wars, which is entirely the creation of George Lucas and Lucas Arts.

Vader: Join me, and we can rule the galaxy as father and son!

Luke: *drops into pit*

Vader: Dammit!

Even though ive seen the empire strikes back about a hundred times every time Vader tells luke that he is his father i always get chills down my spine

RIP Bob Anderson (the one who actually wore the Vader outfit while fighting Luke).

And who is the true hero here and the only one who knows what he is doing? R2 ofcourse! =)

I've heard it said that Luke was a gifted duelist and while I do agree I think Vader was toying with Luke for most of the fight. Vader didn't want to kill him.

06:08 I'll never join you!

0:50 - 2:42 Vader fights with skill: he always deflects every single swing

3:26 - 4:10 Same, but using his powers to throw really big objects

4:51 - end No more Mr. Nice Lord

Vader: You can destroy the Emperor, he has forseen it. Join me and we shall rule the galaxy together

Luke: Hmm, destroy the evil guy behind everything and replace him, remaking the Empire as I see fit... or jump down a bottomless pit to

my death... tough choice...but I'll go with AHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh

Sorry for the double post, but I just wanted to add that I LOVE this fight, the psychology especially.

The whole time Luke seems to hold his own, only somewhat validating any suspicion Vader is toying with him. Then at the end Vader is agressive and serious, and then Luke get his glancing blow. At this point him and the audience are expecting him to get the killing blow now that he's got the momentum, only for Vader to emphatically end the fight.

...is it just me or does the same EXACT sound byte for Vader play at 2:13 and 2:42?
