Luke is resisting giving in to the Dark Side, so Darth Vader is fighting Luke with his light saber, and cuts off Luke's hand to show him his power, and to even further persuade him in joining him (Darth Vader) on the Dark Side. This act of cutting someone's hand off is called Cho Mai according to Jedi records. This is considered merciful by most Sith Lords who prefer killing their opponent.

Darth Vader
Yes, but not only once. In "Revenge of the Sith," Obi-Wan defeated the duel against Vader by cutting off both of his legs and his left arm. And in "Return of the Jedi," Vader got his right hand cut off because Luke Skywalker was giving into anger and he was dueling Vader within his rage. When Vader was originally Anakin Skywalker in "Attack of the Clones," Anakin lost his right arm during a duel with Count Dooku on Geonosis.
possibley Darth maul because he wasnt trained as long alough is a lot quicker.Darth Vader is very strong with the force he can throw objects with both hands on the lightsaber. and anakin put up a better fight vs obi wan.it realy depends on the area wich they were to battle.
Depends on how you look at it. Luke did cut off Vader's prosthetic hand and then realized he was doing wrong and he was going down the dark road when he saw his own prosthetic hand. Then of course, the Emperor took advantage of Luke refusing to give in to the dark side.
Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker) represents the father of Luke Skywalker, but in movies 4,5, and 6, he represents more of a negative role model to Luke and Leah. He is the basic result of what happens if Luke were to join the dark side. You can tell this connection in the final movie when Luke and Darth's hands are cut off but both show zapping robotics coming out of their arms, which is a very powerfull moment in the movie. This is my answer. Have a nice day
