Didn't see that, Monroville. However, I feel like that would take away from the redemption of Anakin, since he wouldn't be the one that kills Palpatine.

Alternatively, what if the rebels try to go in and blow up the Death Star as planned, but can't get through, or it doesn't work, so [someone] comes up with the idea to ram the Executor into it, thus destroying it?

That would probably require too much footage that simply doesn't exist, though ...

I wouldn't have the Executor hit the Emperor's tower, but have it land just short (crash somewhere into the dish between the edge and the E.T. in the center).
