The real moron of ROTJ is Vader. In ESB, he wants Luke to join him and overthrow the Emperor. He's plotting and subversive. All of a sudden in ROTJ he doesn't want to pursue that any more. He's just going along with the motions and doing what the Emperor asks. To top it off, he knowingly delivers a replacement apprentice to the Emperor. All this because "the power of the Dark Side" compels him to obey. Um, okay.

Are you talking 1-6 or just 4-6 storyline? Cause if you are talking 1-6, the 'I must obey my master' line is very weak. But I always found that line very striking before the PT was made, and always thought that The Emperor almost imprisoned Vader with his power from the darkside, using his lightning. I envisoned Vader trying to overthrow The Emperor by himself sometime before Episode IV, and The Emperor putting an utter ass whooping on him with his lightning making Vader scared to ever cross him again, until he thinks Luke would help him in ESB.

Now with the PT, and the fact that Dooku uses Lightning, which totally demeans the power of Lightning now, that line, "I must obey my master' is lame and really doesn't mean anything, cause Anakin only obeyed Palpatine to save Padme, why would he do it after she was dead? Oh man, the PT so fucked up the story of the OT. Good job George.
