Here's an idea that might not make me any friends.

Instead of having the Krayt dragon call scare off the Sandpeople why not just have Ben appear right next to one of them while they were trashing Luke's speeder (as if he has used his Jedi stealth to sneak up on them).

There could be an insert of a Tuscan looking up and see a robed figure right next to them and stare into his hood.

The line, "Hello there" could even be shunted slightly back so he addresses the sandperson and not Artoo.

His spooky nature and possibly his reputation could do the rest.

That way you don't have the somewhat odd shot of an old guy in a dressing gown making funny noises while approaching the more formidable looking alien chaps with spiky mummified face masks on.

He could then check on look and beckon Artoo out of hiding with the remainder of the lines.

I actually did something different for this scene in my Redemption edit. It was always one of my few issues with ANH. They hear a Krayt dragon, and then see an elderly man stumbling towards and their response is to run... Even after taking out a healthy/much younger man? My solution is: They hear the dragon; then look in the direction of the noise, and see nothing... They freak out and run. It's going with the idea that it's the things you don't see that scare you the most.

I agree. Simple edit would be to show Obi Wan walking after the Tusken's take off. Leave it to the imagination what image he may have projected.
