Vader’s robotic hand is just a visual reference to show the similarities with Luke. Showing how he got a robotic hand is absolutely pointless, especially since he fell into a volcano and half his body was replaced with robotic parts. For Jedi, having this reference makes sense, because Vader is a very different character from Luke, so visual similarities are the only thing the audience can connect to in the short time of this scene. Similarities between Anakin and Luke in the PT should have been handled by showing how their characters are alike, not by having the same robotic hand. However, the PT failed to establish a copelling character, so we constantly need to be reminded how Anakin resembles Luke through his look and teh situations he’s in.
I think it would have even been a better idea to have Luke’s and Anakins characters be even more alike and instead of showing how differently they react in the same situation, let basically the same guy go through very different situations to show that even a good person can turn evil. Like it is now, you have Luke in Situation A acting good and then you see how Anakin was making a bad decision in a similar situation. This only shows how different the two are, which is the opposite of what Jedi was aiming to do.
