As it says on the tin, what if Emperor Palpatine returned to Coruscant in his new cloned body immediately after the Battle of Endor, instead of waiting six years? He announces that the reports of his death were merely enemy propaganda, and there is no Imperial Civil War.
The Battle of Endor would still be a huge victory for the Rebellion. They destroyed the new Death Star (the actual goal of the operation), and they also killed two Grand Admirals, Supreme Commander Darth Vader, and destroyed a large number of Imperial warships (all a bonus). Killing the Emperor was never expected, so it isn't really a loss that he escaped.
What would Palpatine do next?
