Vader was pretty much discarded once his Midichlorian count diminished after being mauled by Obi but couldn't he reach out to the Force and reacquire his lost potential? He was in a great position to do so, his master being Darth Sidious, after all, Midichlorian meddling was Sidious' master specialty, and he said he learned everything he could from him prior to killing him.
EDIT: Edited to be different from the other question, the main topic here is if Vader with the help of Sidious could or did reach out to the Force to reacquire his potential, Vader at the height of his power in the suit was described as more powerful than Anakin ever was, so we can assume he somehow achieved a portion of his true potential, Sidious recognized these newfound powers of Vader and even made a new set of armour without the limitations of his current suit because he proved he was a worthy enough successor.
