I don't want any changes, either, but a lot of the argument over why the celebration on planets immediately after the destruction of Death Star II is completely stupid is the fact that it's impossible for the Empire to be completely dead by that point. There is no way in hell that people would be partying on Coruscant, the Imperial capital for crying out loud, right after DSII blows up! So that's why I say that the ending of Return of the Jedi, from any version, leaves things a bit too open ended and in only a slightly better position than they were after the first movie.

Just to make it clear: I am NOT lobbying for any changes (do I ever?!), I'm just admitting that even I find flaws with the OT and things that I think could have been done better.
