I personally think the whole "Everyone gather for a photo" ending (including Obi and Yoda), is a little more than campy and a very weak ending.

I truly think ROTJ should end with Vader's pyre; either a closeup of Luke's face or the behind-the-back distance shot. Cut to credits.

It's odd, the images of ROTJ's ending (hugs, ewoks, songs and ghosts) are so embedded in my brain as 'natural' but when I think about how campy and lame it is for such an epic series to conclude, I can't help but to hope an alternative ending scene is chosen.

 

I would say ending with the pyre would've been great had there been a sequel trilogy to follow. But as it is now, the campfire gathering ties everything up neatly.

 

And as annoying as Nub Nub was, it's far better than that Zamfir musical number Johnny Williams replaced it with for the SE.
