in that movie part of luke was toying with the idea of going to the dark side of the force...notice he is wearing all black like a sith (as was anakin in episode III) instead of the earth tones that most of the jedi wear. he was feeling vader calling for him the whole movie, he was probably being seduced...

luke in return of the jedi parallels anakin in episode III, its just at that final moment when the emperor tells luke to kill vader he makes the right decision.
