When the Millennium Falcon esacped Tatowine the plan is to show it breaking through the atmosphere of the planet and to see some close of shots of the ship as it is doing this
There is a rumour that there may be a new scene included where before the medal ceremony at the end the Rebels are remembering their friends that died in the attack on the Death Star.
