Interesting. One possibility that works for Chained and Extended is that LUKE won the exchange and the group decided to Narrate it that way. Eliminating the carbonite trap is a narrative consequence of Luke's victory.
In an extended contest it might be that Darth Vader reduced Luke to nearly zero, but Luke succeeded in a Desperation Stakes bid well enough to turn the tables.
It seems to me to be a bit harder to do that in a Chained Contest. Maybe the GM ruled that Luke should be allowed one last chance to get out of the situation. (Maybe he was very unlucky and had plenty of HP left).
