I've always assumed Palpatine wants Vader to remain crippled so he can never become powerful enough to rival him.
In that case, why does Palpatine want to replace Vader with Luke?
Perhaps Vader's become too treacherous and ambitious over the years, so Palpatine wants to replace him with someone who's younger and more conditionable.
