1) Anakin is restored to his jedi-self and freed from the prison of his inflated Vader-persona.
2) Luke is now aware of the spirit-world - A knowledge even the jedi in their heyday didn't have and that he will very likely incorporate in his teachings to the next generation.

For future generations watching SW, the problem now lies:
If you watch the movies as they were released (IV-VI, then I-III), then Hayden in Jedi makes ZERO sense, because viewers haven't seen him yet.
If you watch them in order (I-IV), then the twist at the end of Empire that Vader is Luke's father (as well as Luke and Leia being siblings) is no longer a surprise, thus rendering one of the major movie moments in film history useless.
That's the reason I hate Hayden being at the end of Jedi. The OT should be watched first, then the PT. But new viewers will have no idea who Hayden is. Major fail.
