It's the end of the Clone Wars, the largest battle in the entire saga. It's the turning point for the rise of the Empire and the fall of the Republic, and the extermination of the Jedi. The Battle of Endor is the cleaning up of all that. So yes, it is the "end-all be-all" space battle of the saga.
I'm TELLING you (though ABF is right that it's debatable), Endor is the end. Endor ends the Empire. The "end-all" battle sees to the conclusion of the series, not the beginning. The Empire begins in Episode III. How can the "end-all" battle come before the Empire exists.
Also, more reason for bolstering Endor: It was an all-out effort with the entire Alliance fleet (or else they wouldn't have employed militarilly worthless transports and the Medical Frigate), so there MUST'VE been more than they showed. They should in turn add these. If you say adding scenes or enhancing the Battle of Endor would be stupid and ruin it, that I'll refer you to the Battle of Yavin. That's the samec case; only they added a grand introduction. Same could've--nay, SHOULD'VE--been for Endor. I'm not saying to add a whole half-hour alternative ending to RotJ; just make it more accountable. Lucas added whole sequences in the original trilogy, you're absurd claims that adding anything to Endor would cause the world to end is groundless. You just cannot accept that your diety, George Lucas, could improve on something.
