*Removed Lando revealing himself to the audience. (I'd like this entire scene to be removed but it hurts the pacing too much)

After typing this I had an idea. What if after the first shot of chewie being dragged away I cut away to the scene with Vader and the Emperor on the DSII? This would help the pacing out.. This would enable me to remove the dance music party scene without it feeling like an "an edit of ROTJ highlights" as Bingowings put it. (and don't get me wrong, I have nothing but gratitude for him saying that. Really gave me the inspiration to put more effort into making the opening good without being choppy).

Only problem with this is: What am I going to put between Luke leaving for Degobah and him arriving there? Does anybody have any suggestions of a scene that could be moved here without the removal of it from where it originally was hurting pacing and such?
