I feel that Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu both died simultaniously. That is why the young Anakin ghost appears at the end of Jedi. He ceased being a Jedi at that moment and fully embrased the Dark Side and his new name, Darth Vader. I think his spirit went in "limbo" at that point, maybe helped by Qui Gon or something. He had little traces of good in him still as Darth Vader, but it wasn't until he saved his son at the end of RotJ that he redeemed himself and his spirit was set free. He had for the most part done no good as an old man, which is why the spirit appeared as it did.

Yeah, he barely did do any good as an "old man," except that that was the point he redeemed himself, like you said, therefore becoming Anakin again. Geez, I've already typed this out before. I have to wade through your posts. The least you could do is address mine!
