I always figured Luke didn't go back to Yoda right away because planning Han's rescue and sorting out his feelings about those two liars was more important ("Ben, why didn't you tell me?"). Indeed, one of my favorite things about Jedi, is that even though the wise Ben and Yoda just want to turn him into an assassin and kill his father, Luke refuses. He's a better human being than he is a Jedi. Anyway, the Ranch project is very cool and fascinating, but I also think it'd be cool to see a Jedi-cut that is operating under the mandate that it's January 1983 and the movie's getting an alternate polish/fine cut than the one it did get. Hence, limited to stuff like tighter/more savvy cutting, the "Revenge" title, the blue saber, no prequel-connecting, and the sandstorm if it turns up in the '07 dvds. That scene may not advance the plot, but it's an important character moment to have the gang reunited, especially for Han and his newfound team spirit. Plus, most of it is Han and Luke, at the Falcon, making it a nice bookend to their goodbye in Empire. (I'm not at all anti-prequel. Well, I'm not anti-Phantom or Sith. Ahem. Looking at you, Clones).
