But I don't think Luke ever switched sides to Vader's side, just pleaded with him to help him when the Emperor was using Lightning on him, which is what caused Vader to switch sides. And he was...saddened? I guess? By his fathers death just after he'd switched sides. I should clarify, while he didn't join Vader on "the Dark side"(except afterward in the old EU novels he went to the dark side a few times)  He was almost certainly on his side at the end... there was no other reason to remove Vader's body from the Death Star, or actively try to save him, except perhaps if you cynically believe he was trying to prevent the trope about off-screen deaths...
