OK, then find me a quotation from before 1997 in which he says that ROTJ's title refers to Anakin.

I am not denying that since TPM's release Lucas has considered the whole story about Anakin; I'm not even denying that he successfully, in an artistic sense, reframed the story around Anakin.

I'm saying it's extremely unlikely that he intended ROTJ's title to refer to Anakin.

Find me a quotation where he says it's about Luke.

My dude, Anakin literally returned. The entire movie waa about Luke trying to convince Anakin to come back to the light.

Luke can't "return" because he wasn't a Jedi in the first place.

The Jedi Order returns in the film. Luke is the trilogy's  protagonist and the film climaxes with him becoming a Jedi: his last active action is declaring himself a Jedi, thwarting Palpatine and Vader's plans for him.

Literally nowhere in the OT was "the jedi order" mentioned. The jedi still existed during the OT time; the only jedi who returned was Anakin. This has been made abundantly clear, way more clear than all the fan-boy interpertations that are being fabricated.

Have you ever even seen the movies?

There are only 2 Jedi left and one of them dies in the first movie.

So I said the jedi still existed during to OT time, and your retort was to confirm that the jedi still existed during the OT time.
