The thing is, this entire escape effort is based on Jabba (and all his minions) standing on sailbarge's that explode once shot with a deck gun, which would kill them all and make a get away easier.
To do this, Luke needed to have C3PO ready on the sail-barge to shoot his light-saber at him, so that he could then start slicing people up, free his friends, kill all others and fly off to safety.

To get his light saber to C3PO though, it meant getting C3PO installed as staff on Jabba's barge, which meant that he would somehow have to get the incumbent drink-serving droid fired (aka. disintegrated).
While I may have watched Episode V (or 5) more than twice, I don't remember the part in which Yoda teaches Luke to be a cunning and malicious bastard who makes plans that begin with innocent hard-working droids that serve drinks getting fired and tortured, before moving onto killing several flying ships worth of living beings.
Oh yeah, it also means that he intentionally gives his twin sister (who he did kiss) up to be Jabba's personal stripper too.
He is a hard, hard bastard.
Also, considering that Luke wanted to get captured the whole time, why did he try and shoot Jabba when they first meet? Did he also intend on falling into the pit, just so he could kill the Rancor?
If so, it means that Luke essentially went to Jabba's to kill not only Jabba, but all those close to him, including his pets.
Remind you of anyone?
