I suport MagnoliaFan's take on this. Everyone, don't make this any more compicated than it is.
As much as i hate the special edition alterations, a small part of me would like to see this scene placed into the original movie. The scene is moody, kinda spooky and actualy rather cool, and I think it might give RotJ a bit more dramatic heft, even if it does slightly spoil Luke's later entrance.
