If Luke could see the good in Darth Vader and redeem him, why didn’t he do the same with more bad guys, like the Emperor, Snoke, Jabba the Hutt, etc.?

The unfortunate reality of the Star Wars prequel and Disney trilogies is that they will always be around. Forever. They will never go away. It can never be undone.

I also prefer to be referred to as “TNT”, not “Freezing”.

Because they aren’t daddy.

Whatever he saw in Vader simply wasn’t present in the others you mentioned.

Or y’know… he didn’t want to for anyone else.

Another reason why Star Trek is better than Star Wars. Sybok is a better Jedi than Luke.

Ah yes Sybok, that beloved character…

I legitimately like Sybok. It was pointless making him Spock’s half-brother, but I like how the character was written and performed.

Alright, I can run with clone madness being inherent in Force-sensitive clones. Vader’s persisting handicaps remain unresolved, though (or is Palpatine just that huge a dick?)

Isn’t it obvious?

Vader’s replacement parts would have to be Midi-compatible, and thus would individually go insane. Have you ever had a psychotic pair of lungs or a pyromaniac left leg?

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Again, my main problem with ESB is the fact that his casual dispatching of his underlings is almost played as a running gag.

No problem with that at all. It shows the complexity of Vader’s character, in fact. What TESB does is establishing how Vader punishes Imperial officers for failure (Admiral Ozzel, Captain Needa). However, when the Falcon flies off to hyperspace at the end, despite the hyperdrive being disabled by Piett’s order, he actually does NOT punish Piett. By doing so Vader reveals his own emotional turmoil from the confrontation with Luke. I daresay, this is the first sign we see of Vader’s redemption which is developed in ROTJ.
