For Star Wars II, it was always planned that Darth Vader would be leading the hunt for the Rebels with his Imperial forces in the realms of deep space, but the original idea was also to show further interesting facets to the character within the Galactic Empire, in particular his unique home, an ominous castle of immense size whose mighty corridors even revealed a unique flag insignia linked to either the character or the Sith/Empire.
Ultimately, the castle idea was scrapped from the film's later screenplay changes but this intriguing concept work, mostly by Ralph McQuarrie, thankfully remains as a visual indicator. Of course, a home of sorts was ultimately revealed for Vader, switched to the fiery hell of the volcanic world of Mustafar, for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
