It might have taken me a while to pick up on the significance of this line, but that might have increased the impression it makes on me once that happened. Of course, I am remembering thoughts I had not that long ago wondering why "paying off Jabba" seems to imply "not coming back," but there I'm reminded of how a more annoyed audience started asking questions like "so why doesn't Qui-Gon just get his money changed?" with an air of delivering smug putdowns...

I think I might have seen a bit of the "alternative take" in the documentary "Empire of Dreams," but might be more familiar with it from the original Marvel Comics adaptation (which I'd read before I ever saw the movie itself). That adaptation's a bit interesting to me both for its inclusion of "deleted scenes" and the sequences which all of a sudden weren't able to use "production stills" for reference (Dagobah features a completely shirtless Luke and a seemingly tinier Yoda on exposed legs that wouldn't hide Frank Oz's arm; the last moments of the duel between Luke and Vader take place on a different gantry.)
