    If you're asking in general about redeemed-Anakin-surviving-ROTJ fics...good gravy, there's more of these than there are grains of sand on Earth. [face_plain] *present company guilty as charged, no pun intended*

    If you're asking about the specific scenario of a surviving Anakin going on trial or facing a war tribunal, this exact plot was explored in a fic here on the old boards called Lest Ye Be Judged. Obviously that link has truncated posts, but the whole thread is there. You can read a long segment of it at this alternative link. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have ever been posted on Fanfiction.net, and the old TF.N Fanfiction Archive seems to be down (permanently? that would be sad...).

    Based on the Anakin Force Ghost at film's coda, yes, Vader was redeemed (at least on a metaphysical/theological level, the most pertinent). Without that image, one could argue otherwise.

    He did redeem himself, but he did not make up for his crimes. The ST will hopefully delve into this. Regardless, had he lived, he would have been a good man for the rest of his life. Vader was done. He turned from the dark side.

    Vader was most definitely redeemable. He truly wasn't bad in my opinion, there was always good in him.

    After watching ROTS he totally was. On Mustafar after he kills the Separatist it looks like he was starting to regret what he was doing.
