The Rebel Alliance are forced to stop the freezing planet of Hoth and hide across the galaxy from the Empire. The Empire tries to find their secret base while Luke Skywalker travels to the planet of Dagobah to receive training from the Jedi master Yoda. In one major scene, Skywalker arrives at Cloud City where Darth Vader suddenly appears and starts a lightsaber duel with Skywalker. Vader slices off Luke s hand and pushes him to the end of a balcony. Vader attempts to manipulate Skywalker into betraying the Rebel Alliance. Then, Vader confesses that he’s Skywalker s father, and he responds with a dramatic response. The scene ends with Skywalker throwing himself off the balcony.
