While I obviously realize that this entire idea would be difficult to pull off and would require a lot of participation from costumers, special effects, sound and more, I figured I'd try to write the scene anyway. Below is the beginning and I know how the scene should end, but I'm not really sure how to write the middle part (action scenes, I guess). I'll write the ending and post it later.

The boundless heavens serve as a back-drop for the MAIN TITLE,
followed by a ROLL-UP, which crawls into infinity.
STAR
WARS
Episode VI
RETURN OF THE JEDI
Luke Skywalker has returned to Dagobah
to complete his training with the Jedi
Master Yoda, in preparation for rescuing
his friend Han Solo from the clutches of
the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt.
Little does Luke know that the GALACTIC
EMPIRE has secretly begun construction
on a second, more powerful Death Star
which, when completed, will spell certain
doom for the Rebel Alliance.
Even now, Bothan Spies in league with
the Rebellion are preparing to enter the
Imperial Capital in an attempt to capture
the new battle station's secret plans...
PAN DOWN to reveal CORUSCANT, the glimmering jewel at the
heart of the Empire. A small asteroid comes into view, slowly
tumbling toward the planet. The camera follows it downward as
it picks up speed, glowing hot and eventually burning as a
meteor, high above the nighttime cityscape of the capital.
As it begins to burn, a voice, distorted as if over a radio
but clearly having a curious accent, is heard.
VOICE
Bravo Team, prepare for insertion in five, four, three...
The meteor bursts, its final moments very bright before
disappearing in a cloud of smoke, ash and dust. From out of
the cloud fall four figures, in dark body armor, almost
invisible against the night sky, falling in formation with
military precision.
2 EXT. CORUSCANT - LANDING PLATFORM - NIGHT 2
The four figures fire small retro rockets, coming to a
sudden yet silent stop on a long, flat landing platform which
juts out from the side of one of the many skyscrapers. Their
helmets are oddly shaped, clearly hiding an alien face behind
their dark visors, while their postures bear the mark of
special forces, secret operatives. One agent looks out at the
horizon, the area directly in front of the platform strangely
clear of very tall buildings, allowing for a long view.
AGENT
It's been far too long since I was permitted to look upon this
beauty. Too long since we could walk the streets in freedom.
Their leader places his hand the agent's shoulder, comforting
yet guiding back to their task.
LEADER
Then come, my brother, and let us remember why we came. For soon,
we may all once again live free.
The agent turns back to the group and nods, as a figure emerges
from the shadows at the far end of the platform, beyond a parked
Y-WING. This figure is BOUSHH, an oddly cloaked bounty hunter,
who swiftly approaches the strike force.
AGENT 2
I do not know why we are working with this...bounty hunter.
LEADER
A great enemy makes strange bedfellows of many. Difficult things
may be required to accomplish great goals.
The agent nods, as if hearing proverbs, before Boushh reaches them.
BOUSHH (in Ubese subtitled)
I have prepared the necessary arrangements for your stay
LEADER
We would prefer the guest room with full accomodations
Boushh nods and produces a code cylinder, handing it to the Leader
who quickly pockets it.
BOUSHH (in Ubese subtitled)
You will find the bed made before you arrive
All four agents turn, quickly walking to the edge of the landing
platform, away from Boushh, revealing the massive IMPERIAL DRYDOCK
below them. Several STAR DESTROYERS are landed here, in various
stages of repair, with a central command center rising from the
middle of the sprawling complex.
The Bothans all take a running leap off the edge of the platform,
small wings unfolding between their outstretched arms and torsos,
rapidly gliding directly towards the command tower. Boushh watches
them fall, then presses a button on his wrist. A small explosion
erupts near the edge of the Drydock complex, and power begins going
out like a cloak of darkness cast over the facility.
I, unsurprisingly, think this is a great idea for a scene (or else I wouldn't be promoting it). It builds off something already in the movie ("Many Bothan Spies..."). It introduces Boushh earlier, adding further surprise to the Leia reveal. It takes us back to Coruscant, a world we haven't seen since ROTS, helping tie the Celebrations back together a little better (note: I think the Celebrations are key for PT-OT integration, even Naboo). It provides the film with an exciting opening (You know, the action-y bits that I don't know how to write).
Like I said, I'll post the ending of the scene later.
