[Star Wars] After Vader revealed himself as Luke's father, did Luke let himself fall with the intent of dying?

Was he suicidal?

I think this was him giving in to the force and letting its will be done, while doing the only thing he could to resist Vader. He was definitely in a rough place, and ready to at least face death instead of join Vader.



Later on the Death Star II he sort of does the same thing. He lowers his defenses, and gives in to the will of the force even when it looks like it means his death.


But he does so there willingly and with a clear head. On Cloud City he was backed into a corner and maybe not thinking clearly. He didn't have the fortitude to stand up to Vader.
