Lucas wanted to make RotJ be a definite end to the SW series. With all the publicity he's received saying that he's tired of SW and wants to get control of his life again, etc., the most logical movie to make was RotJ. It really left no questions unanswered from previous episodes, and raised nothing of significance to be explored later on. I can even imagine that the movie's plot, pacing (editing), etc. were deliberately just a little less an improvement over ESB than ESB over SW. In this way, there needn't be another SW "to top the last one", and everyone could feel that the SW saga ended conclusively at every level.
