He IS.  Why do you think he could see Yoda, Ben and Anakin at the end of
ROTJ and nobody else could?  Because they were anchored to him.
Why did Ben let Vader kill him?  Because he wanted to become anchored to
Luke so he could help him control the Force.  That's why Luke got so
good so suddenly (good enough to hit the hole in the Death Star through
the Force) without having any more training.
Just my opinion, of course.
