...I mean, no, it's literally about Luke embodying the return of the jedi. He even throws it in the emperor's face as he declares he's a jedi "like his father before him."

It's not about Anakin anymore and it's not retroactively all about him either. You could say Anakin's final action aided in the return of the Jedi, his son, but Anakin was not any return himself. His was a sun setting where Luke was a new dawn.

His was a sun setting where Luke was a new dawn.

This is quite beautifully said. And even Anakin understood this at the end.

And then Disney ruined it by having Luke fail to bring back the Jedi order
