While Vader was a very likeable “badass” character in ANH and ESB, it was kinda one dimensional. ROTJ gave Vader a lot of depth in terms of character. It actually becomes interesting to wonder what is going into his head, unlike in ANH and ESB where it is just a matter of who is he going to kill next. While people usually only praise Luke’s and Emperor’s character development in ROTJ, I think Vader’s character gained substantially with ROTJ.

I actually don’t mind Vader in Jedi for the reasons you mentioned. I always viewed it as a trouble guy that now knowing he has a son, that there’s finally something else in the galaxy worth a damn.

Although, what do you mean exactly the Emperor having character development…? I always thought he was one-dimensional as they get, which isn’t bad per se since we need contrast.
