Palpatine groomed Anakin, who was unstable and easy prey. Luke lacked his father's weaknesses and inner demons and had no emotional or mental ties to Palpatine.

[lorenzog]

Palpatine knew Luke would go on to become the greatest alien milker in the galaxy

[darylsdesigns]

Luke: “Your overconfidence is your weakness.”
Palpatine: “Your faith in your friends is yours.”

[Evoker-lxmb]

Luke had a loving father figure so Palpatine couldn’t manipulate him by means of being a friend and father figure like he did with Anakin and Luke always knew that Palpatine was evil, they never had a bond that Palpatine and Anakin had. Luke had all of Anakin’s strengths but lacked Anakin’s biggest vulnerabilities.

[davidsmith]

Luke was strong in the force just like his father. But most importantly Luke’s love for his father was powerful as well.

[Drrck]

Aunt Beru: ...he has too much of his father in him.
Uncle Owen: That's what I'm afraid of.

Yoda and Obiwan wanted Luke to kill Darth Vader. Luke made the decision, on his own, against the wishes of two Jedi masters, to try to bring his father back from the dark side. And he did.

[adammiller]

Palpatine told Vader that Luke could destroy them both after he blew up the first death star.Palpatines fear of Luke has been known since the original trilogy came out.

[Lanwarder]

The hilarious part is that, according to this version of the story, had obi wan and Yoda thought about maybe not letting Luke keep the Skywalker name, neither Vader nor the emperor would know who he is lol.

[NYBEATZ]

I’m glad you brought up how Sidious made that suit for Vader. He was still afraid of Vader too, even as Vader became his right hand, he wanted to keep him in check as well.

[douglasfoley]

He had Anakins power, but more importantly, he had Padmes heart ❤️

[salvatorediangelo]

The novelization goes into nice detail. There is a passage where Vader observes Palpatine shaking in fear as he is taunting Luke. Palps knows the swing is coming and he is not sure Vader will be fast enough to block it.

[UltimateSpider]

Vader wanted to turn Luke to the Dark side because he wanted to overthrow Sidious.

[keithstimpyys]

He was afraid of Luke because Luke.Was never fooled

[alsimmonshellspawn]

What Disney star wars fans don't get is that luke Skywalker supposed to have the same amount of raw force potential as his father, George Lucas say it luke Skywalker was never supposed To be the Jake soywalker of sequels

[mayormccheese]

Because he foresaw that Luke could destroy them. He says it straight up in Empire Strikes Back. It's not a mystery.

[gbjmarvelous]

Luke avenged his mom and dad!!! The skywalker blood is too strong!!!! Even for palpatine!!!

[tobiaswalker]

Probably because he knew that he couldn't worm his way into Luke's life like he did Anakin's.

[inquisitorgarza]

Luke was perhaps the fear of the Jedi that Palpatine has always deep within him as this was the last chance the Jedi had returning and destroy the Sith.

The irony of all of this and why I liked luke so much as a character (and absolutely loathed what they did to him in the movies) is that his greatest strength was always his hope. Luke is literally the most hopeful character in the starwars universe. To the point it inspired everyone around him, even his father. Even when everyone around him was telling him otherwise he never gave up on vader. And in the legend books they lean on that even more, with allowing anyone to be trained even if there was a risk of them turning to the darkside and causing harm later. There was always that hope that him and people around him could over come it. The movie idea of him giving up on a student and even entertaining the possibility of killing him was absolutely ludicrous. And probably the biggest sign that no one who wrote these movies so much as even picked up a starwars EU comic, let along a novel.
