Otherwise, it was just him trying to get too cute after the darker tone of ESB. He needed the darker tone in ROTJ for the first half, because Vader's redemption and Leia and Han's love would have brightened the ending. We didn't need fuzzy creatures and slowly paced romps in the woods. Let the great story tell itself, and don't treat the audience like 6 year olds. We promise we won't cry, we didn't during ESB.
