Summary
The Duel on Cloud City was a lightsaber duel that took place between Luke Skywalker and Vader, during the Galactic Civil War. The inexperienced Skywalker was ultimately outmatched against Lord Vader and was defeated, losing his hand in the process. At the end of the battle, Vader revealed to Skywalker that he was, in fact, Luke's own father - Anakin Skywalker. Skywalker denied the claim vehemently but sensed Vader was telling the truth. Despite this revelation, Skywalker threw himself off the maintenance catwalk into the air shaft below - to choose death, rather than joining Vader. As he fell, Skywalker was sucked into a gas port, and shortly thereafter found himself clinging to a weather vane on the underside of Cloud City where soon he was found and rescued by his friends, who were escaping Cloud City in Millennium Falcon.
