Seriously, you've got it wrong. Josh is right. Think about it -- how would he already have robotic legs at that point? It doesn't even make sense.

Bboisvert.....good point about Vader being weak in 4-6. That's really why he needs Luke to defeat the Emperor and rule the galaxy.
Vader does seem all powerful in 4-6 and we thought his breathing heavy - was just scary. It didn't occur to us that he was actually sick and largely defeated.
Which explains why the light saber fights in 4-6 were relatively slower. Although, I think Vader in Empire and Jedi could have easily defeated the Obi won in A New Hope. All the light saber battles have gotten progressively more intense as Lucas the filmmaker explored the fight sequences. Thus there are slight "continuity" problems about Vader's skills in 4-6 (mediocre fighter in 4 and capable in 5/6)
It was also explain why Vader and Luke can jump fairly high for humans but compared to 1-3 not that high at all...in the prequel Jedis can fall for miles without injury...
It also makes the power of the force more foreign to us. There's a part of us that would like to be able to move something with our thoughts...but there other skills seem out of reach..more like superheroes..

Broadswords take a lot of strength and two hands to wield. This whole thing of Jedis and others using Lightsabers with lightning speed as if the sabers were light weight well balanced Samurai swords obviously came along later on.
