One film is too short to take in all these endings and remain plausible.
Jabba, Vader and the Emperor have been there since the first film so it makes sense that the last film is where their journey ends.
Yoda was introduced in the previous film. In the current cut of the movie his death is frankly ricdiculous (essentially holding on to the beginning of the second act so he can die mid-sentence without finishing his training of Luke).
But Fett too? (and Piett and the Empire)
Fett is a bounty hunter. Unless he has some reason to be in the film (hunting bounty) he serves no purpose and his death compounds the implausible convenience of all these loose ends being tide up at the same time.
Having him taken down by Han (for example) would be more dignified for Fett but betray the character arc of his polar opposite Han.
Anyway my feelings on the topic are documented enough. It's Ady's project not mine. I hope he manages to pull off the changes effectively.
