I took Palpatine's line as meaning no more than Luke was following in his father's footsteps, and have never had a problem with it. Like Yoda, in the OT Palpatine never uses a lightsaber, so it does not sound strange that he would make a general reference to one with a tone that implies a lack of personal familiarity with one. I was almost as disappointed that Palpatine used a lightsaber in the prequels as I was that Yoda did.
