On the other hand - I, like you (probably), see value or hold nostalgic value in nearly all ROTJ scenes so it will be quite hard for me to actually see scenes cut from it.

This nostalgia is clearly blinding you to some of ROTJ’s lesser points.
The rescue from Jabba’s palace is a mess. Luke’s plan seems to be “Ok, everybody go in and get caught, then I’ll show up and get caught. Then, just before I’m executed, I’ll kill everybody!” And then there’s the horribly silly muppets everywhere. And the general cornyness. And the burp jokes. And the lightsaber working like a baseball bat. And the terrible monster masks. And the repeated audio from Star Wars. And the whole thing drags on and on to the point that it seems that the whole movie will be about our hero’s escaping from Luke’s poorly thought out plan.
