Lucas mentions in the scriptbook that the characters lead you to each other. The Droids to Luke. Luke to Ben. Ben to Han. Having Luke pop up early would ruin that.
And not only would it destroy the pace of the battle, it would hurt the opening of the film. Tatooine is boring enough without extending it even more.

Plus, we already see the battle first-hand anyway, so there wouldn't be much point to another Binary Sunset-ish scene with Luke gazing up at the stars only to have them substituted for some more pretty explosions, now would there?

I'd like to see it as an extra, but there's no way it should be put back into the film. It would completely destroy the pacing.
Oh yeah - as an extra... all those cut scenes as extras... he's already done a SE - he's not going to change anything else. He'd be too busy with Ep:III anyway.
The thing is though - these will probably be the bare-bones releases and there will be different versions come out in a few years, chock-full of extras - like the Trek releases.

I have no doubt that they'll eventually release all six movies as a set. I'll be waiting until at least then to get them.
Unless episode III turns out to be total crap, in which case it probably wouldn't be worth buying the prequels at all.

Pretty explosions are the point, of course.

Lucas has explicitly stated that he would like to do so.

What about luke's effimine protocol droid calls him "master" and that Han calls "goldenrod"?
Nothing wholesome in that arrangment.

It's disturbing that you had that image so readily available.
If 3P0 was really equiped like that, Han would'nt have stood a chance with the princess.
