RoTJI would edit out revealing Leia as being Lukes sister.  Luke would still learn he has a sister though, just not who it is.Vader would NOT be redeemed & appear as Anikins force ghost at the party.The end conversation between Luke, Han & Leia would reveal that Luke won't be in their way because he's setting out to search for his sister.  Hmm, sounds like the hook for more SW stories to me</blockquote>
