Vader's death only works as a redemption if you use the oldest definition of the word. It once meant to buy back, as in to redeem a slave. Vader buys his freedom back. He sold it in the name of protecting a family member and he buys it back doing the same. It's not a moral redemption at all. It's a reclamation of his own freedom.
