Lost Empire Scene - Take 2 - Luke strikes back

A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE SKYWALKER towarRAB the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.
