    Ok I read this off another post but i neede some clerification, some one put that the reason you see the Anakin ghost at then end of the RotJ movie instead of the Vader ghost is because Vader becomes Anakin when he saves his son by defeating his dark master.....but my thing isnb't it the sith way to kill your master eventually anyways so in fact it wasnt the killing of the dark master but th saving of his son the brought him back to the force.

    Anakin was the choosen one. He ceased to become the choosen one (or went on a little detour) when he feel to the dark side.

    His love for his son brought him back to the good side and he fullfilled his destiny as the choosen one by killing the Sith and bringing balance back to the force.

    Yes, the Sith Apprentice killing the Sith Lord is the way of the Sith Order. BUT, when that happens the apprentice takes over and becomes the Master.

    This is the way I see it. Darth Vader did not kill Darth Sidious. Anakin Skywalker killed Darth Sidious. Anakin killed Vader right before he killed Sidious.

    Anakin's love for his son is what caused him to kill Darth Vader and Darth Sidious.

    tough question. i'd say yes and no.

    yes:
    he practices the Sith teachings and ways. he follows a strictly sith leader and bears the title "Darth".

    no:
    in the end of the day, Anakin brings balance to the force, slaying the emperor. his final sacrifice and action as a human being is spent destroying the last surviving Sith, ultimately creating him a Jedi.

    so in the end, no. he did not die a Sith. this is another point I often emphasize- SW is a story of redemption. he goes from jedi to sith to jedi again. :-D

    destroying a Sith master to take his place is the Sith way

    destroying a Sith master out of compassion isn't

    that's the difference

    anikin he was always the chosen one.
    when he killed his master it was to save his son not for selfish reasons of his own.
    so when his ghost shows up it is the redeemed anakin not the evil vader

    thought this was pretty stright forward
