I would dislike it the way I disliked Alien 3: While the plot technically did not contradict Aliens, it felt like a betrayal of what that film implied and meant.
The redemption of Vader in a ‘melt the heart of tyrants’ way is what I love about ROTJ. If we get Anakin’s ghost in TLJ, I’d hope it would be in a role of wisdom or guidance rather than unresolved tensions.
It was never about whether Vader tipped the moral scales by counterweighing evil deeds with one good deed, but about his own change of heart. He repented, if you will, and that’s what ROTJ cares about, not a moral equation.
