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...
