I actually have a decent idea (if it hasnt been stated yet) the shot could open outside bens house and have lukes xwing sitting outside it. or have the ship flying over tattoined and landing by bens house. Of course if you read the first 5 pages of Shadows of the empire the whole gang is at ben's house. Hmmm of course we could say fuggit and let luke be alone. Of course that will be a bitch to pull of. We would have to use existing scenes. could we even add obi wan to the shot telling him about how vader is his father. of coursse we need to see yoda die.

Ideas like yours have been discussed before (scroll back to page 20) here was my take:

in the novel, luke says he found old instructions in obi-wans case deal on how to buil a lightsaber. that's how he got the green one. and that was actually the first part of the book. R2 was with luke while everyone prepared.

something else that might be cool to add his like him on a speeder bike on his way to the palace. kinda like anakin, just not so dramatic.
