It does seem like there’s a bit of a missed opportunity in “Return of the Jedi” when it comes to Vader’s loyalty and potential conflict with the Emperor. That scene on Endor where Luke turns himself in could’ve been a perfect moment to dive into Vader’s inner turmoil, but it feels like they kind of breeze over it, right?

And that line from Palpatine about Vader’s feelings? It’s like, okay, we get it, there’s some tension there, but then they just move on. It’s definitely one of those moments where you’re left wanting more depth and exploration, especially after the setup in “The Empire Strikes Back.”
