Hughes got off lightly compared to the film version of Vader -- who had a hand chopped off by his son Luke Skywalker and was finished off by bolts of Force lightning from the evil Emperor Palpatine.
Pshaw, what idiot reporter/editor/fact-checker allowed this rubbish to be written? Everyone knows that Luke didn't chop off Vader's hand, but rather his artificial robotic replacement hand! His actual hand was chopped off decades earlier by Count Dooku.

:P

Didn't Luke get his hand chopped off by Vader, not the other way around?
Both.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader chops off Luke's hand; in Return of the Jedi, Luke chops off Vader's artificial hand. He then looks at his own robotic appendage and realizes that he's following the same path as his father, which is exactly what Palpatine wants.
