That presumes, doesn't it, that Adywan "intends" for the audience to watch it in numerical order (1-6) rather than production order (4-6, 1-3)?

Since ultimately Ady's edits have the goal of harmonizing I-VI, wouldn't the Emperor's appearance in ROTJ therefore NOT be a revelation? So there would not have to be any concern for "spoiling" anything in the next film. With that said, the idea would still work better (and be easier to pull off) if the view was from behind.

Hm. You're right. I equated harmonization to "intended viewing order being 1-6". Quite honestly, any rational person would suggest 4-6, then 1-3 if he were recommending the films to someone who had never seen any. Otherwise "No, Luke. I am your father" is rather anti-climactic.
