I wonder how moving the celebration montages to AFTER a hyperspace ending would work? Or dare I suggest - intercut into a unique saga wide credit sequence?

See now I'm going to have to out my ideal, which is likely going to cause a few nauseous reactions:

I would love to see the montage scene altered into something like the Superman Returns opening credits sequence

No credits though, keep it part of the movie proper, swooping and hyper spacing to a few different planets to show, rather than celebrating, continuing battles, some alien fauna etc - just little vignettes of the Star Wars universe -show that while this decisive battle is won, amazing and crazy stuff is still out there - the universe continues beyond this story. If you know of Jodorowsky's Dune concept for his intro, you know what I'm talking about.

And finally (this bit is just me I'm sure, but frankly I don't see how we can avoid addressing it in some way if I haven't lost you yet, I will now!), the camera finally moves to Tatooine skimming the dunes, to the edge of the Sarlaac pit where we see Boba Fett's helmet half-buried in the sand, his gloved hand comes from out of shot to claim it, then we iris to the credits and the credits theme.
