[Star Wars] Darth Vader killed billions of innocent people, and not just the men, but the women and children, too. Why is he considered a good guy for killing one bad person?

Billions of innocent lives lost as a direct result of his actions. I don't really think that it matters if he feels bad about it in the end and has a change of heart, the man spent the majority of his life being brutally evil.

Why do people insist he was good deep down? He killed the Emperor, sure, but he put the Emperor there in the first place. A good person wouldn't have done that in the first place.

He's not.

Redemption doesn't mean you are free from the consequences of your actions. Forgiveness doesn't mean condoning the past.

Luke saw the final acts of Vader and his personal redemption of finally rejecting the dark. As for the rest of the Galaxy, they will always remember Vader for what he was, a terrifying force of destruction. That will forever be his legacy. Even Leia refused to forgive him, for most of her life.
