[Return of the Jedi] If Luke had either been killed or willingly became the Emperor's apprentice, would it have mattered in the grand scheme of things? Wouldn't Lando have still blown them all up regardless?

In either event, Luke and/or the Emperor would have been able to escape from the explosion and continue on. Destroying a second Death Star would be a blow for sure, but at the same time they still failed to actually kill the existing power structure. Losing Luke would be a big morale blow, but him turning also means every piece of information about the Rebellion he knew is now in the hands of the Empire, allowing coordinate Star Destroyer strikes to eliminate them.
