I wouldn't be surprised if this has already been suggested, but I was looking at some Ralph McQuarrie art and this picture really stood out to me:

Notice how here the pit itself is portrayed as being much larger, almost consuming the entire skiff and some of the Sail Barge. I'm guessing this is near to impossible, but it would be pretty damn cool if some how the scene from the movie could look more like this painting. Having a huge sarlaac pit (Teehee) and even the extra Barge adds the feeling of being "surrounded" and having no escape! (But then the problem of how the other Barge gets destroyed shows up)

The other one can blow up from being in close proximity to Jabbas one. It was a decent explosion. Chain reaction.

That would be good, claustrophobic. Only thing is people would be shooting from both barges and the likely hood of anyone escaping the initial barrage of laser bolts would be slim.
