Although that is what Lucas wants us to believe, consider this: Shmi Skywalker could have been lied to. I know it didnt work out this way, but a friend watned it to be this.. Palpatine tells Anakin that Dooku is his father- doesn't really matter whether this is before or after Anakin kills Dooku... so when Luke refuses to kill his father, the impact of this action becomes the impetus for Vader to realize there is some Anakin left in him. Also, this friend of mine considers Jedi the best of the movies because of luke's line: "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." While I don't consider Jedi the best movie ( that would be Empire), that rational keeps me from making fun of his choice of best original SW film.
