In Return of the Jedi, in the final fight between Luke and Vader, is there any reason for Vader to fall and clutch the rail right before Luke cuts his hand? It seems like he just moves to that position mid fight, and I always see it. If there is something I am missing I'd love to know because it ruins that scene for me.

I always thought it was because after Vader pisses off Luke, he comes out so furiously and really hacking away, that Vader just can't take it and falls down exhausted. On the way down grabbing the rail for support so he isn't completely defenseless. That really worked out great for him :P

Watched the clip on Youtube and just before he gets his arm cut off, he dodges to the other side of the bridge, or whatever they're on, and he seems really tired and loses his balance (4:13). He also seems to grab the rail on the other side a few seconds earlier.
