Does Luke actually return in any significant way?

Um, yeah. It's called: Luke returns "in this movie".

It's like the title BATMAN RETURNS. Returns to what? The movie screen! Same thing here. The title is more or less saying Luke is back and is now more Jedi-ier than ever before! Its speaking to the audience as opposed to defining anything specific in the movie itself, other than Luke is returning from 3 years of no STAR WARS movie related stuff since EMPIRE.

It is a return of jedi as a whole. Luke is the first jedi since obi wan died. SO the jedi are back.

By that logic ESB should have been called Return of the Jedi.

Luke is not a full-fledged jedi until RETURN OF THE JEDI. If EMPIRE got the name change, it would have been called RETURN OF THE STILL LEARNING JEDI WANNABE or RETURN OF THE HEROIC DWEEB or something along those lines.
