The photo that shows Ree-Yees with his hand over 3PO's mouth at 39:55 is in the movie - in the wide shot of the curtain pulling back revealing Jabba and his group after Leia free's Han from the carbonite you can briefly see them behind Jabba to the left. 3PO wasn't trying to save Luke, he was trying to warn Han and Leia it was a trap.
so cool to see this behind the scenes stuff, amazing work by ILM and the puppeteering team.
