The end battle in one revision was supposed to happen below coruscant in a lava room.

something like mustafar then ;)

If you haven't read the rough draft of Revenge of the Jedi then here it is

http://www.starwarz.com/starkiller/scripts/revenge_revised_rough_draft.htm

I read it around the time Revenge of the Sith was released in 2005 and I loved it; though I know that it would have been such an expensive film had it been made.

Thanks Darth Cronos! I did read this script and I liked it a lot.

I feel it needed further revision such as Darth Vaders dialogue and Ben seems to just hang around at the end chillaxin with the Emperor while Luke and Vader fight.

But it is a much more exciting movie. The end space battle seems so much more epic. You can definitely tell that ROTJ was a much more budget concious film. I liked having the team infiltrate the sanctuary moon to set up a laser and I also liked Luke being separated for most of the film.

This script illustrates to me that one of the main problems of ROTJ is that the final showdown happens in the middle of nowhere in space. It is much more dramatic having it happen at the Imperial capital ( Coruscant or Had Abbadon). It also would make much more sense in terms of wrapping up the whole trilogy and tying it to Episode III.

However we are unable to change this fact due to the fact we can't re-shoot scenes with the original actors who are 30 years younger. Maybe....in 20 more years Adywan will figure out a way... but who knows.
