Now out of the tunnel, Luke is trapped in the new environment as the grate suddenly shuts behind him- a moment that made the audience (including me!) jump out of my seat on the film's first cinematic viewing back in the day. The scene was presumably done by shooting the grate's moving a moment at a time with Mark Hamill being very still. This was then likely speeded up behind him in post production editing, with help from ILM and an excellent sound design effect from Ben Burtt.
