===Anakin Skywalker===
Luke remained unaware of who his father really was and wouldn't meet Anakin until he was in his late teens. He was told by Owen and Beru, that his father, Anakin Skywalker, was a navigator on a space freight. Obi-Wan cleared things up, saying that Anakin was actually a Jedi Knight and fighter during the Clone Wars, and said that Anakin was betrayed and murdered by the Sith Lord, Darth Vader. However, Luke was unaware that Vader and Anakin were the same person.
After three years, Luke still believed Vader Killed his father. Vader revealed his relationship to Luke after they dueled in Cloud City. Luke tried not believing him but found that it was true when searching the Force, whether Luke liked the idea or not. 
By The Return of the Jedi, Luke believed that his father could be redeemed but Vader reminded Luke that he was beyond saving, but Anakin was brought back to the light side of the Force when Darth Sidious tortured his son in front of him. Luke gave his father a proper funeral pyre and Anakin as a Force-ghost appeared with Obi-Wan and Yoda, happily watching his children and their friends from a distance. 
Years later, Luke didn't blame his father's transformation to Darth Vader on him personally, but to the Jedi. 
===Padmé Amidala===
Padmé Amidala was Luke's mother. Padmé loved both her children when they were born but she couldn't live on for them. Though he never interacted with his mother, Luke shared her hopes and beliefs that Anakin Skywalker could be redeemed and wished he had known his mother.
