Exactly, the only thing he cared about was saving padme from the fate he saw in his force dream. Ironically after wiping out the jedi temple, he lost sight of all that, became a full blown blood lusting, power hungry sith killing machine and his mission changed from saving padme to taking over the galaxy. Had he not been mortally injured by obiwan, the first thing he would have done upon his return is attempt to kill emperor palpatine. The emperor was lucky obi wan ****ed him up, had he not the emperor's reign would have ended the moment anakin returned. Anakin did not want to play second fiddle, he wanted to be in charge of his new empire. In fact, he carried this dream with him up until ESB which is why he told luke to join him and together they could overthrow the emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son.
