I can see not adding Sith eyes to Luke, but we still need to see just HOW angry he is and show both small and large pieces of machinery ripped from the walls and being hurled into Vader as Luke simultaneously pounds away at him with his lightsaber.  To have Luke do to Vader what Vader did to him at Bespin but exponentially would show just how powerful Luke really was as well as explain how EMPIRE Vader could be defeated so quickly.

I absolutely HATE this idea.  I think it's just overkill, and I don't see what's wrong with the fight as is (and I'm glad you're not suggesting Sith eyes, which I think were one of the worst PT ideas ever).

And I don't have a problem with dropping us into Jabba's palace without "introductions" - that's how the beginning of ANH played out, really.  We were dropped into the middle of a situation and had to figure out what the fuck was going on pretty fast - same thing here.

Plus, it's not like we don't already know who these characters are.  This isn't the time to be giving people "good introductions" or anything - Luke's already had his introduction, it was in ANH.  Let his "robed" intro as he enters Jabba's palace be his first introduction as a true Jedi.

Oh, and to be clear, I don't want to start the movie with the Dagobah scene - that would, indeed, be boring.  Start with Vader/Jerjerrod, then Boussh, THEN Dagobah minus Ben, then Leia rescuing Han, Han/Chewie, then droids go to Jabba's but get captured, then Luke arrives.
