Luke Skywalker returns to battle, distracting Vader with an overhead steam pipe burst then retrieving his lightsaber to battle on determinedly in this hot and hard-to-see environment around them, and despite the manipulative goading of his enemy, ever wanting the boy to fully release his hatred and anger to the Dark Side against him...
A terrific selection of images showing Mark Hamill as Luke fighting Bob Anderson as Darth Vader on set...

Towards the end of this section of the duel, Luke performs a Force move that sees him somersault over Vader. Presumably this was partly achieved by Kirby wire techniques attached to either Hamill or Colin Skeaping (who likely did the middle part of the stunt above Vader via his own gymnastic skills) that were slowed down or manipulated in post production editing.
