Anakin at least had an established reason for wanting to become the emperor's apprentice....but luke has no such motivation. There are subplots which could have been established to give him more motivation.....
Like threatening to turn his sister to the dark side?
Again, i get him lashing out at Vader in anger because of that line and it's extremely dramatic...but that still doesn't exactly give him reason to serve the emperor after the fact....especially considering she's on the frontlines of battle...and it's not even made clear that vader and/or the emperor know who she is.
Vladius said: ...the Emperor shows Luke that the rebels are losing and that he can save them by turning, I disagree....and if that is what he's saying it's not well established. The only thing he plays on is getting luke to strike him down in anger....when does he imply that if he turns he can spare the rebels? Again....lashing out in anger is one thing....but that still doesn't develop a strong motivation for him to become the emperor's new servant imo.
