Small note: I was thinking about the DS explosions, and about how most of us want to see the shockwave gone from ANH.

I'm actually not sure I feel the same way about ROTJ. The collapse of the reactor makes the shockwave make more sense in ROTJ, it looks pretty cool the Falcon at the end, and it makes a nice visual distinction between the DS and DSII explosions.

I don't like neither of them, we've seen cruisers blowing up (or almost) in TPM (the "donut" spaceship), ROTS (the invisible hand) and ESB (in Hoth, when the ion cannon fires, the star destroyer kinda sinks in space), so it's pretty un believable that a space station that's like a thousand times bigger than a star destroyer could blow up in the same amount of time that a TIE fighter does...

I'd rather go for little explosions here and there until it starts to blow up seriously; in both movies (if there's no way to change the DSII plot in ROTJ).
