Anakin never went through the trials like Obi-wan and Qui-gon did. Anakin's "trial" was his heroism and valor time and time again during the Clone Wars. He was knighted by Yoda himself without any formal trial.
Up to the point where Luke confronts Vader on Endor, Luke doesn't actually believe inside himself that he actually is a Jedi. It is only after Vader notes the construction of a new lightsaber that he says Luke's training is now complete, to which Luke replies under his breath and in total amazement, "Then I am a Jedi."
Unfortunately, Vader's power was fading during the time of Return of the Jedi, and the Emporer knew it. He wanted to replace Vader with Darth Power Converter (or whatever Luke would have been called if he had turned to the Dark Side and become a Sith apprentice).
OTOH, Vader made it very clear in The Empire Strikes Back that he wanted Luke to be HIS apprentice and help him overthrow his master, the Emporer. The reason I liked Empire so much is that it seemed that Vader was at his most powerful and was *THIS* close to taking over the entire Empire.
