Luke felt the shaking platform shudder with every blow and parry and thrust oftheir weapons. But he was undaunted, for with every thrust of his sword he drovethe evil Darth Vader back.

Sprawled on the platform, Luke gazed up and saw the ominous dark figurelooming above him at the top of the stairs. Then the figure flew right at him, itssable cloak billowing out in the air like the wings of a monstrous bat.
