Lucas put the ending in there that we saw because at that point he didn't want to do anymore sequels to Star Wars, the story as a whole was the rise and fall and redemption of Anakin, and when that all happened it was over, happy ending time.

If you look into it, it was Gary Kurtz (Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back) that revealed the criticisms of Lucas' decisions to sell toys rather than make good movies as well as quitting ROTJ over things like the change to a happy ending, etc. The Luke walking into the sunset thing is very real.
