Luke entered inside the Jabba's palace. With 23 years old now, Luke was now more mature, especially in the way of the Jedi.

He had everything planned.

As reached the middle of the long corridor, two Gamorreans guards stepped up, blocking his path. Raising his hand and pointed at the guards. Before either of them could draw a weapon, they were both clutching their own throats, choking, gasping. They fell to their knees. The moment Luke passed by them, the guards suddenly were able to breath again, but they didn't followed him.

Around the next corner, Luke started to climbed down the stairs, being stopped in the middle of it by Bib Fortuna, pointing the finger towards him, speaking his language, saying that Jabba didn't want to see him.

3PO peeked out from behind the gangster

"At last! Master Luke's come to rescue me"

Luke felt Ines trying to hold a laugh, but he kept focus on Jabba.

Bib came to Jabba's ear and called him

"Master"

Jabba woke up surprised by that, as Bib continue

"Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight"

Jabba spoke in Huttese

"I must be allow the speak" Luke replied making Bib telling to Jabba that

Jabba got mad and grabbed Bib he told him:
