Vader not Luke's Dad... imagine!
Time

What if Vader hadn't been Luke's dad?

What if ESB had Vader tempt Luke... not because he was his father, but because he was the last young Jedi who might help him. He says, "Yeah I killed your dad, but wouldnt ruling the universe be cool?"

And then in ROTJ... Luke STILL tries to redeem Vader because he senses some good in him, perhaps an ounce of regret that he betrayed and murdered his friend. And the film all plays out more or less the same. Luke strives to get Vader to be good because it's the right thing to do, not just becasue it's his dad, and Vader sacrifices himself to save Luke because it's the right thing to do, not because it's his son.

Not saying it would be an improvement, but think about the emotional weight of forgiving and redeeming your father's murderer, because Luke is just that in tune with goodness and the Force.

Well actually in Labyrinth of evil Anakin was away from Padme for a year and a half, and then ROTS starts immediately after that book, so technically speaking he couldn't be Luke's father because Padme is already pregnant at the beginning of ROTS.
