Here the gif for your consideration :)

Naturally I imagine this would play slower, but image-wise it looks a bit... plain? How would this (and the preceding "R2 and C3PO approaching Jabba's palace" scene) look if it was early in the day? Maybe not heavy on the straight orange hues (ala a lot of the Cloud City shots) but something more of a mix of orange and blues in the sky or something more akin to 7:00am in the morning?

That way Luke's entrance could be around (high) noon, with or without the added entrance scene as the follow up:

I could imagine seeing a mirage-ish, hazy form coming in ala HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER, as the hooded man comes into focus. Cut to inside the palace ala the original shot, with maybe the added bit of THM raising his hand, implying that (soon to be revealed as Luke) is the one opening the huge blast doors with the Force, soon followed by him choking the guards (without sticking his hand out).
