The change in pacing to this importantly-paced part of the film makes this addition lame in my view.
Oh, and getting rid of Yub-Nub? Sorry, but sacrilege. Dropping Lapti Nek may have been the most ruinous of a formerly good scene, but nixing Yub-Nub was just plain WRONG.

Yeah, except that Biggs was introduced already...sort of...by being a rebel pilot. To see that he had a personal relationship with Luke makes his death more profound.
I agree with you about the Yub-Nub song though. The removal of that song is my most hated change to the trilogy, and it really ended the whole theatrical re-release on a bad note (pun intended) for me.
