i thought that the ending of the ROTJ was dreadful. the film makers stooped to a "Walt Disney" style "all-smiles" ending, just like the first Star Wars movie ending! a better ending would have been to cut the movie right when the second Death Star explodes. Just freeze frame the explosion and roll the credits. just before the explosion show Luke getting away before the Death Star's doom. (a nice contrast to Vader's escape). omit the bit about Han resolving the "love triangle", or put in earler in the movie. have Han find out that: Luke is in the Death Star that is just about to be blown up, and insert the "he is my brother" text. the movie gave me the impression that the film makers "wanted to get it over with". answering questions is fine, but leave some more materal around for people to munch on... chongo <SW != Disney> /\FF/\

The purpose of RotJ was to clean up and to leave no loose ends for the next three, which deal with rebuilding the Republic. The characters in this trilogy won't even be in the next one, so how can you leave stuff for them to do? Besides, would you cut out the alter seen with Luke and DV? I think that was the strongest one in the movie (that plus the one in which Yoda died, but the alter seen goes further). It gave me goose bumps every time I saw it.
