Begin by showing the deleted material of Luke viewing the battle above the Tatooine, damaged film and all. Have the film burn out and over a black screen, have someone say, “Dang it!” Some messing around with the projector and then resume the film without any more deleted scenes.
Alternatively, show the deleted material up till we see Luke arriving at Tosche Station. Then have a voiceover saying something like, “Too much like American Graffiti in space,” in a Lucas-esque voice. Darkness, reel change, and resume film without deleted scenes.
