If he had stuck to his original ideas (what he had of them) for the PT and the ST ROTJ might not have been as crap as it turned out too (if there were three more films to their would be no need to kill off all the OT bad guys in one very silly film for one thing).

I am completely repulsed by the idea of having 4 films addressing the subject that is now being addressed by ROTJ. The Luke-Vader-Emperor story had to be concluded in the third film of the trilogy. Otherwise we would get four more boring films instead of a great film as ROTJ is.

New trilogy, new subject. That is how it should be and that is how it ended up.

That wasn't what was being proposed from what I can make out.

An attempt to rescue Han would still have to be made. Vader would still fall but the Emperor and the Empire (being suitably protected) would be harder nut to crack.

Luke would have seek out and train his sister and they would have face the Emperor while the Alliance would grow in strength to successfully take on a galactic Empire. Rather than just bumping everyone off because the Empire is just a handful of men in a room with a big death pit in it.

The plot of Return of the Jedi is ridiculously convenient for our heroes which cheapens the whole trilogy from my point of view.
