Oh, hell yeah I am!
That's precisely the way I thought about Vader as a kid. In fact, all the way up until Episode 1 stole his aggressive nature. Just the way he choked the life out of the rebel pilot set the tone for the entire saga. Lucas either blew it, or he had no money for a choreographer for Scene 38. It came off as weak then, and looks like crap today.
Lucas should have put his money into this redux rather than the horrible, Sucks-O-Ton Jabba sequence.

bad! Ep V built on that. He was terrifying. Ep VI brought his human side forward and we empathized with him. Ep 1 made him a whiny little kid. Ep II made him Padme's bitch. By Ep III he was intolerable.
Until the Mustafar battle.
Finally, Vader was Vader, again! Mean, filled with hatred, sadistic, bent on revenge for imagined wrongs (although I think the lead-up to that is missing entirely—he just snapped for no reason. In
this post I outlined how I thought it should go). He was the guy you wanted to see die; who deserved everything bad that happened to him. I mean, he wiped out a bunch of children and choked the hell out of his own wife. That scene is the only thing about the prequels that is believable. It made Vader
Vader!
