Then during said duel Luke gets a bunch of heavy metal objects hurled at him which would have knocked any person unconscious or at least seriously injured them in real life. The objects then smash a window which he sucked out of and falls to his apparent death, but conveniently there was a balcony or something that he landed on and he was able to get up relatively unscathed. This is followed by them dueling across this long balcony which they probably just put in their because they thought it would look cool and Luke just keeps stupidly backing up when he can obviously see there is nowhere to go. Then he gets his hand chopped off and he isn’t gushing blood everywhere like we saw in the previous film when Obi-Wan sliced that guys arm off in the cantina. Darth Vader proceeds to tell him he is his father so he jumps off and falls a thousand feet or so but he somehow manages to fly into this hole in the wall that happens to be big enough for him to fit in. Then he slides down the interior of what looks like a big slide you would see at a McDonald’s playplace for kids where a door on the ground then magically opens for him and drops him right on a weather vane looking thing that just happens to be there. Then he manages to talk telepathically to Leia… something we have never seen before just so they can come back and rescue him. How convenient. It is all a bunch of contrived nonsense that makes no sense and is an example of objectively poor storytelling.
