I would still like to see something along the line of Piett shaking hands with one of the rebel generals at the teddy bear picnic to signify a true ending where the Empire COULD become a new republic. Whether than means showing Piett escape, or having him (A) fire at the shield generator, which destroys it, then (B) rams the Executor into the DS, which takes out enough guns that the fighters have a clear path ahead to get into it. In fact, how crazy would it be to see 2 TIE interceptors escorting the Falcon to the reactor (on orders from Piett)?

It would explain why the interceptor only fires at the Falcon ONCE! LOL

Love the ideas. It may be too radical to convey, but I still get chills when I think about Piett using the Executor against the Empire.
