I just heard there's going to be an extra scene included in the DVD
release of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK coming up next year! Basically, it
expands on the scene where Vader reveals his Fatherhood to Luke, and
ties up some loose ends created with the release of Episode 1...

The Empire Strikes Back: Extra-Special Edition
==============================================
INT: BESPIN GANTRY - MOMENTS LATER:
A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing LUKE
SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by Vader, chops
off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the ventilation shaft.
Luke backs away. He looks around, but realizes there's nowhere to go
but straight down.
Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.
Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!
Darth Vader: No... I am your father!
Luke: No, it's not true! It's impossible.
Darth Vader: Search your feelings... you know it to be true...
Luke: NO!
Darth Vader: Yes, it is true... and you know what else? You know That
brass droid of yours?
Luke: Threepio?
Darth Vader: Yes... Threepio... I built him... when I was 7 years old...
Luke: No...
Darth Vader: Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at
yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your
own ship out of the swamp...
Luke: I destroyed your precious Death Star! Darth Vader: When you
were 20! When I was 10, I single-handedly destroyed a Trade
Federation Droid Control ship!
Luke: Well, it's not my fault...
Darth Vader: Oh, here we go... "Poor me... my father never gave me
what I wanted for my birthday... boo hoo, my daddy's the
Dark Lord of the Sith...waahhh wahhh!"
Luke: Shut up...
Darth Vader: You're a slacker! By the time I was you're age, I had
exterminated the Jedi knights!
Luke: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon...
Darth Vader: Oh, for the love of the Emperor... 10 years old, winner
of the Boonta Eve Open... Only human to ever fly a Pod Racer...
right here baby!
[Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it.]
Darth Vader: I was wrong... You're not my kid... I don't know whose
you are, but you sure ain't mine...
[Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges down the shaft.
Darth Vader looks after him.]
Darth Vader: Get a haircut!
