End the movie with Obi Wan defeating him again but this time it’s less clear who won.
Find three Jedi masters for Vader to fight in his prime and the struggles he has with killing some of them

Canon comics have kind of already dispensed the notion of Vader being truly evil.
They've shown him as having mercy, as having doubts and regrets and feeling the "pull to the Light".
In the last issue of Vader Comics (#3, I believe), Vader runs into, what appears to be, Padme, who's apparently still alive, long after dying in RotS. We won't know for sure if it's truly Padme, and some have suggested it was one of her "look-a-like" body guards, until the next issue is released. But Anakin/Vader still has feelings for her.
But for the most part, it seems like Lucasfilm is veering Vader's story away from being the most evil man in the galaxy to a man that's confused about the choices he'd made, which of course eventually leads him towards redemption.
Personally, I'd rather Lucasfilm move their stories 1,000 years into the future rather than trying to "milk" the OT era for everything it's worth.
