Why is Luke dragging Vader in the end of Return of the Jedi?

I just learned of this sub (thanks to bestof) so I thought I would ask a question that has bugged me since the 80's. I'm not a huge fan of science fiction but do enjoy some so excuse my ignorance.

Question: Why in the end of Return of the Jedi does Luke drag Vader while trying to get him off the Death Star? Why doesn't he just use the force to carry him?

Even by that time, Luke was not proficient enough in the force for such fine control like that. He received very little formal training, almost a crash-course in being a Jedi. He'd lifted rocks before but not consciously and with any control, and his emotions broke his concentration and he dropped them.

He was very emotional at the time, just having witnessed his fathers act of redemption and mortal wounding. He was in no mindset for such control. Mentally exhausted,not to mention being physically exhausted.
