    His offer to rule the galaxy together as father and son.

    Why or why not?

    I wouldn't want to rule the Galaxy, but I might have taken the offer out of fear and plan/hope to escape later.

    I'd have helped Vader kill Sheev and then I'd say, "Since Sheev's gone, there's no need to use the dark side anymore."

    Pretty sure it doesn't work like that.

    Nope. Vader was a Sith Lord and a servant of an evil empire, and you're a fool if you trust one of them.

    I would have done it.. only because I would have planned to double cross him at a later stage

    Yes, because I don't want to die.

    If He was still my father I would.

    I know it's not the right choose, but it's my father so I would never kill him and it would be a hard thing to resist.

    But if I was doing what was write then no I would not.

    Same here. Luke didn't have it in his heart, nor do I.

    If my dad asked me to help him run a garage sale I would probably decline, so ruling the galaxy is a definite no; Especially if he had cut my hand off like a minute earlier.

    No because I'm not evil.

    He just cut my hand off and tortured my friends. Why would I trust him?

    I probably would have done the same.

    I think you nailed it really well. We can all think we will be the hero when most of us would join him so we could live because surviving is a human instinct and we uay try are hardest to abide by it.

    Of course there would be some to say no but probably not a lot.

    Hell I am afraid of a 1% chance of lightning.

    Count me in as third. I'd be telling Vader, “Uh, sure. Sure, I'll come with you. Just promise me you won't kill me, OK?”

    Speaking as Luke, not Volshe, here. :p

    Yes, but just to get rid of the Emperor and reform the Galaxy without Palpatine at the helm as well as help Lord Vader back to the "light".

    Either Luke trusted the Force would help him survive his fall, or he actually preferred taking his chances with death over joining the dark side.

    If I were Luke and I felt the Force telling me to take a literal leap of faith, I would do it.

    If I were Luke and I did not feel the Force telling me this, I would join Vader either as a double agent or until I saw an opportunity to escape.

    Nope. I'd rather die than side with a child murderer.

    If I knew 100% he was my father then I would probably strongly consider it

    What he was asking of Luke was to give in to evil so no. I would have done likewise.

    Never. The Empire killed Luke's adoptive family, and the only real friend he had growing up was killed in the battle to destroy the Death Star. They tortured Leia there and blew up her home planet, then tortured Han when they laid a trap for Luke. If that was me, there's just no way.
