...within the prologue of ROTJ, you could establish that much more time had passed, and the rebellion has gained a huge momentum, having recently captured Coruscant.
The Emperor and much of the Imperial fleet has since disappeared - however there are relentless attacks on the capitol by the Imperials.
The Rebel's desperate to hold the City Planet will have committed ALL their resources to holding it (all the eggs are in one basket).
The Rebel's discover the Death Star II plans within the city (opening scenes) - and thus a strike team is forced to chase it down. Meanwhile Luke/Leia etc are on tatooine freeing Han.
The big reveal would be that the EMPEROR is on the Death Star, and he is going to use it as his new seat of Power. He allowed the Rebel's to audaciously capture Coruscant in order to force them into one single location, which he intends to destroy.
Some VERY good ideas here. An opening scene of the discovery of the DSII plans could be done with no known characters......maybe just some grunts working on some circuits.....short out a connection (ala R2D2 in ANH) and stumble onto some holographic plans.......and the opening crawl would have taken care of much of the rest. One would probably need some slight dialogue rejigging here and there to make it work perfectly......but this is a seriously solid idea. Makes it very different from ANH.
