[Star Wars] How was Vader redeemed?

Vader aided a tyrant in getting to power, butchered children, stood by as planets were destroyed, killed his own comrades and was a general all around dick.


Then, his big redemption is to make a split second decision to save his own son. Then he gets to be a force ghost and go chill with the other Jedi without even a harsh telling off.

A telling off by who? The force? 

Anakin became a ghost because of the strength and *nature* of his connection to the force. 

By changing things inside himself, letting go of the anger and hatred to realise that he was still capable of being the good man he thought he had left behind, the good man he thought he had killed. 

By reconnecting with that truth of who he was and wanted to be, even for a short time, he was able to reconnect with the light side of the force. 

So if there was any forgiveness involved then it was Anakin forgiving himself. And why would it take more than that? There's no other judgement involved, no authority deciding who deserves forgiveness and who doesn't.
