I agree. I mean, I love looking at the sequels in context of Vader's redemption, but the star always is Luke throughout all three of them. The goals that have to be accomplished, whether defeating the Empire as a whole or saving Vader, they're all Luke's goals that we're taken along for. What bugs me most about the 1-6 mentality is that the original movies simply don't fit that mold. You can tie the sequels to the original movie because the motivations in all three are Luke's. You have to do a lot of mental stretching to believe that the original movies are Anakin's story as well as the prequels.
