I don't either me or Go-Mer stated that the twins are working to "resurrect" their father, although that does become Luke's focus in Episode VI.
Yes, but, as I said, George Lucas has actually claimed that. And no, that is not Luke's goal in Jedi. Luke sought to appeal to Darth Vader's good side, not "resurrect" Vader, which is an absolutely silly concept to force onto Return of the Jedi. Serously, perhaps some of you can explain how Vader is supposedly "resurrected" for me, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Yes, the Original Trilogy is Luke's story but looking at them numerically, it does in the end come back to Anakin. It is the Skywalker story with Anakin and Luke as the figure heads, with Anakin having a bit more emphasis once we get to the end of it all.

Anakin does not have the greater emphasis at the end of the original trilogy. Luke has the greatest focus at the end. At the highest climax of the film he succeeds in reaching out to Darth Vader by taking a stand. That was his great accomplishment. All Darth Vader did was overcome the dark side of the force and finally do the right thing. Luke was the hero and the focus until the end. It was Luke we cared about, it was Luke who we wanted to see triumphant, and it was Luke who we were happy to see alive in the end. He is the hero of the OT saga. Luke is the primary focus from start to finish.
