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.

Luke doesn't go in with a plan really.

He is told to kill his father by Ben, Yoda and Palpatine but decides that he will not.

Anakin kills Vader and Palpatine and he was planning to kill Palpatine for decades.

Does Luke actually return in any significant way?

Which ever way you cut it the Jedi in either title is almost certainly not him.

It is a return of jedi as a whole. Luke is the first jedi since obi wan died. SO the jedi are back. And luke is going to pass knowledge on to more jedi too.

 

I did mention that as a possibility but seeing as the film starts with the same number of Jedi and Sith as ANH and ends with just one Jedi it still doesn't make all that much sense.

To merit the title on those terms it would really require the return of the Jedi order as a identifiable significant force in the story.

As it stands the film ends with one Jedi who may train others in the future.
