And no, the Leia/Luke thing did NOT tie the movie up nicely.  It was a bad decision that ruined the franchise.  Why?  Because it made NO SENSE at all!

I think the idea was the force brought them together. I know it is blantantly obvious it was thrown in at the last minuet, but I think it kind of works. It really was the only way to answer the "that boy is our last hope" "no there is another" without having to take a detour in the story to explain that. If you want to edit that out of ROTJ, you should remove Yoda's mentioning of "there is another" in ESB and also remove any mentioning of that in ROTJ. But then you have a pacing problem. Now Luke and Ben's conversation sounds too brief and Yoda's last words will have to be cut.  If you change this last hope to another jedi hiding somewhere in the galaxy, it is going to be kind of odd to mention him/her and never have the story elaborate on that.
