At the end of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Luke had defeated Darth Vader, but didn't seem to injure him terribly, the only real damage was a severed prosthetic hand. So it had to have been the lightning he was exposed to when he picked the emperor up to throw him into the abyss.

We are meant to believe that he did die, but there is room for debate, maybe Luke got him on life support inside the shuttle and the burning suit was merely burning his old evil self now that he has seen the light, it's up to Lucasfilms to decide in future episodes.

Does yoda die?

He is fighting with Darth Vader and then lowers his light saber, allowing Vader to kill him. He does this because he realises he will be more useful to Luke as a 'ghost' being, like the Jedi can become when they die. He learned how to do this from his old master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Does Anakin Skywalker turns into a bad guy and then turns to a good guy or he is just a bad guy?

Anakin Skywalker is good in the first two movies Episodes I and II but becomes evil in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and becomes the "bad guy" (or evil) Darth Vader at the end of the movie. This is because his body is nearly destroyed in lava forcing him to create a robot like body for himself because he will die if h doesn't have it. In the original trilogy Anakin is still Darth Vader, who is a apprentice to the Sith lord. In the last installment of the original triolgy Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, again in the end of the movie Darth Vader/Anakin kills his master the Sith lord while protecting his "good" son Luke Skywalker, thus making him a "good guy" at the end of the whole six movies.
