The fight with Darth Vader at Cloud City clearly presents Luke’s weak emotional character. Luke has allowed Vader to lure him into Imperial territory where LukeÂ’s temptation to the Dark Side seems imminent. Vader acknowledges that LukeÂ’s fighting skills have vastly improved, but Vader eventually physically debilitates Luke by amputating his hand. Once Vader weakens Luke, Vader strikes him with an emotional blow by informing Luke that Vader is his father. Luke, unable to contemplate such a relationship between himself and the human epitome of the Dark Side, denies the kinship. Yoda succeeded in creating a strong warrior, yet LukeÂ’s character still requires further development to confront the temptation to the Dark Side and his relationship with Vader.
