It's not so much the visuals as it is the story. In my mind, the final shot on Dagobah would be Ben/Luke discussing that fun stuff, and the final line would be, "You must face Darth Vader again," moved from earlier. To simply go from there to X-wing/Falcon flyby to Tatooine seems too abrupt. It's the way TPM handled scene transitions, and if I could only fix one thing in that movie, that would probably be it; the movie feels rushed and we never feel like we're absorbing anything important from of any scenes. Many fanedits seem to do the same thing, since it's far easier to remove elements from the original film than to add new ones. Their edits result in the same feeling, and it doesn't allow for proper mood shifts in my mind. I wouldn't want our ROTJ edit to end up the same way.
I disagree with you strongly, if anything TPM'S problem IMO is that it's too boring and tedious. Star Wars has always been quick transitions and such. They're fast moving films, and while I agree that we need time to dwell on certain scenes, I don't think cutting to a fly-by of Tatooine would be that big of an issue.
But again, that's just my opinion.
