Despite his agony, Luke senses the truth of Vader's words. He has another choice - to die. He lets go and falls down the reactor shaft.

His voice is so hypnotic, Luke thought, and felt part of himself falling under Vader’s spell. But only part of him. Luke looked down into the deep shaft that seemed to stretch down to forever.
“Come with me,” Vader urged. “It is the only way.”
Luke looked directly at Vader and felt a certain calmness as he thought, No. It’s not the only way.

His Father...

With the calmness that Ben himself and Yoda, the Jedi Master, had taught him, Luke Skywalker made, perhaps, what might be his final decision of all. “Never,” Luke shouted as he stepped out into the empty abyss beneath him. For all its unperceived depth, Luke might have been falling to another galaxy.

e do script original do filme

Vader puts away his sword and holds his hand out to Luke.

A calm comes over Luke, and he makes a decision. In the next instant he steps off the gantry platform into space. The Dark Lord looks over the platform and sees Luke falling far below. The wind begins to blow at Vader's cape and the torrent finally forces him back, away from the edge. The wind soon fades and the wounded Jedi begins to drop fast, unable to grab onto anything to break his fall.

Nunca tendo lido sobre este assunto antes de assistir a cena do Luke's Scream apenas hoje, eu sempre tive a idéia de que ele havia elaborado um plano.

Depois de enlouquecer com a revelação de Vader e a oferta subsequente, a raiva cresce nele. Percebendo que este é um caminho escuro, ele se lembra de Kenobi & Ensinamentos de Yoda.

Ele se acalma & usa a força para buscar uma fuga.

Ele imagina o caminho para o trabalho de dutos e sente que há uma saída, de um modo semelhante ao que ele tinha em sua passagem pelo porto de escape da Estrela da Morte.

É por isso que ele não gritou no original. Ele tinha confiança na força. Force Trust Fall.
