Luke ignored Vader for the rest of the trip.
For a moment, he had almost forgotten who and what he was dealing with. A totally self centred, self absorbed creature of darkness, boiled in rage and suffering who wanted him to convert to his way of thinking and start up a second reign of terror and horror after killing Palpatine.
And in aid of doing that, they were going... to Naboo?
He wasn't really sure why they were on their way there. It was his mother's home world. It was Palpatine's home world. It was a paradise of water and greenery that had produced something so rotten and evil that the galaxy heaved to try and dislodge it from itself.
He stands in the cockpit's doorway, nursing his stump in his left hand and watching hyperspace, preparing for the shock of dropping back out again.

For Vader it had been much more simple. Those who were his, those he much endure, those who were enemies, those he may ignore.
Friends didn't factor. Allies, but other than Piett, Vaneé, who was left?
"Go."
He didn't plan to leave Luke alone on the island, but he didn't need to tie him underfoot either.

He left without saying anything more. He didn't have any weapons, but he could probably find some crabs or the like and hit them with a rock. Or just go and pick some fruit from the trees.
