It's not weird nor ironic. He saved Palpy because palps said he was gonna give Ani some new power, and that Mace was kinda doing things too hastey, even for a Jedi. He didn't want palps to be killed, so he saves palps. But when he sees luke, his brain clicks in. He didn't want his kid to die. Tho, I was always sad when vader died. He woulda been a real asset to the New Republic. Tho it woulda felt weird in meetings, to have vader doing his breathing when Leia was giving a speech.

lol, just picture that..
Leia: Father! Would you stop that?!?
Vader: *Dozing off, not knowing Leia is talking to him* Oh, uh me? Sorry, pumpkin...
well, i'm sure they would've changed the sound his suit makes. everyone would still be scared of it. they'd maked it sound like the ice cream truck, so everyone would feel happy when they hear him coming, instead of cowering in fear. but the happiness would turn to anger when they find out he has no ice cream.
heh...i'm sure vader would create some dead bodies now and then when no one was looking, so i can see that happening. i can picture the kids toughing all the buttons on his suit too.
"damn you kids!" then thinks about the his slaughter of the younglings and begins to fight the urge to draw his saber. "no. no vader...get a hold of yourself. palpy doesn't control you know" he says to himself. then he starts to sweat and breathe heavy...heavier...and just before he reaches to his saber, leia and han walk in. "whew...crisis averted."
