This is just a suggestion, could very well be the worst one here, but do you think Luke's rescue from Cloud City would have been better if he "didn't" call out to Leia for help? I can't help myself but think that without his dialogue it would have made her a more self-sufficient character rather than the girl who the guys always latch on to. Cause the way I see it, her character hardly does anything in the movie. I think that if the force is with her and that she shares a bond with Luke, than sensing his distress wouldn't be so much different from Luke sensing Han and Leia's distress on Cloud City from earlier. Now granted that was like days before, but Sidious sensed that Lord Vader was in danger in Episode III during his duel with Obi-Wan (I can't believe I referenced that).

Again, just my idea. If Luke didn't call out for help after getting nothing from Ben, it'd sort of show how hopeless the situation was for him. And for Leia to sense his danger would be like a foreshadowing moment of her ability to use the force rather than just having her be the receiving end of a one way cell phone call.

But she doesn't use the Force anywhere in ROTJ, so what's the point of worrying about changing this? Changing it sounds like more "Lucasizing" of the OT - doing it because it CAN be done, not because it SHOULD be done - whereas Ady's intent has always been technical repairs and improvements first, narrative changes second (if at all).
