I just noticed that part of the lightsaber duel in Return of the Jedi mirrors the duel in Empire Strikes Back.
Luke is forcing Vader on to the small bridge things near the end and he has the advantage, hitting both railings before cutting Vader's hand off.
I don't know why I didn't notice that before. It really drives home the choice for good he makes in the end.
