I like the Victory Celebration quite a bit as well, having grown up with the SE.

Yub Nub has grown on me, though. To the point where I prefer it.

In the end, they're two very different endings for two very different film series; Yub Nub is the perfect closure for the OT alone (a big, but also very personal victory, with a lot more work to be done), but when you look at the broader picture with the PT and the idea that Jedi was supposed to be the end of Star Wars period, the Victory Celebration fits well (though I've always thought it was a bit weird that Tatooine cared given their backwaterness and Hutt control, and the reaction on Coruscant seemed a bit over-the-top, but that's what Star Wars is about, people rising up to throw off the shackles of oppression-I mean young hot sexy muscular Hayden Christensen (AKA HayChris) with the handsome face before he turned into the white egg man in the cyborg samurai armour with the James Earl Jones voice Darth Vader).

You have an interesting view of hotness. Still the celebrations on other planets didn't really make sense to me. Even with crazy interstellar communications, it would take awhile for the credibility of the message to be established. "Hey Phil, yeah I'm out here on this random moon of Endor *static* sorry what? Anyways, we just blew up the Death Star, and yeah the Emperor is totally dead. And Vader too. So go tell everybody to celebrate." I think the celebrations would have been days or weeks later perhaps. I like Yub Nub also because it's not as epic. It has that quirky and unpretentious Star Wars sensibility.
