First of all let me say I fully believe the Empire was better for the Galaxy(I think Grand Admiral Thrawn in command of the Empire was it's best potential. Having said that, the problem with your analogy is that Vader didn't have near the power of the Emperor(after the whole loss of limbs and burning thing.) The Emperor's WILL is what held the Empire together. When he died that basically cut the heart out of the Empire and set everybody to rushing for his Throne. Vader may have returned as a redeemed Jedi but the people UNDER Vader would not have followed him. Jerec and the Dark Jedi, Isard and Imperial intelligence, many of the Warlords with their fleets, and the Grand Moffs generally despised Vader and only suffered him because of his power in the Dark Side that he would use against them(which he wouldn't do as a Jedi, he would hold back with too much mercy as Luke so often did) and the power given to him by the Emperor. They would have branded Vader a traitor to the Empire for the act of killing the Emperor and certainly would not have followed him. it would have been similar to what happened anyway.
I DO believe that the Galactic Empire was much better for the Galaxy than the Old Republic. They explored much of the Galaxy, kept internecine wars between species suppressed, brought economic and political stability, and security. The old republic in contrast was blatantly corrupt, and the Jedi were only as useful as the very government they served. In fact had the Empire NOT been formed, the Rebellion never would have happened, the galaxy would NOT have militarized at all and then just imagine what the Yuuzhan Vong would have done to it. So yes the galactic Empire was the savior of the galaxy, a Dark Savior.

even though there are trillions of republic citizens able to fight, no they instead make a army of clones, and force them to die for a cause, other then their own. Not only that but they allowed their Democracy to shatter by letting a single man rule them for the entire war, and not just that a Sith lord, the most powerful one rule them, even though in democracy new leaders are apointed every other year, and the biggest smack in the face is the fact that the jedi were so stuck up, so blind that they allowed all of this to happen -_-
