But Luke doesn't try to get Revenge. He goes in with the plan of redeeming his father. That Palpy dies is an after effect of that goal.

You are assuming that the Jedi in the title is Luke, what if it's Anakin or the order in general?

Anakln certainly has revenge on the man who tricked him into betraying and murdering his friends on the promise of saving his wife that his new powers drove him to destroy.

The Jedi as an order were reduced from thousands to just two and you might argue that they didn't seek revenge only the restoration of galactic freedom they certainly got it anyway.

That assumption only works if you believe that Lucas did indeed have this "6-Episode storyline" fully planned out and structured when he wrote the final draft of ROTJ... which (as it's been proven time and time again) is pure and utter bulls**t.

There is only one assumption in the this chain of posts (that Luke is the Jedi in the titles Revenge or Return Of The Jedi) which is almost certainly a false one (the two returns of Luke, to Tatooine and to Dagobah, aren't significant enough to be the object of the title and Luke does not achieve, nor seek revenge).

The Jedi order possibly returns (though we see no on screen evidence) and does achieve revenge, though it may be argued it doesn't seek it.

The Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker both returns (from being lost in the Darth Vader personna) and achieves a revenge he actively sort.

And none of these deductions require even looking at the prequel trilogy (though looking at them would make the Jedi Order seem more likely to be one to seek revenge than George Lucas would protest). They certainly do not hinge on the six part saga being pre-planned as delivered.
