The larger problem with the deleted scene is that it pre-empts and diminishes the already perfect introduction to the Falcon. The music swells Ben and Luke enter the Falcon hangar, then the music drops for Luke to deliver his classic “What a piece of junk!”.

Plus, I don’t think the deleted Jabba scene gives us anything we didn’t already have as viewers. It doesn’t show us a new environment, the extra plot about Han’s debt is extraneous and covered more efficiently in other scenes, the CGI execution is very poor, and Han’s dialogue “you’re a wonderful human being” doesn’t make sense with the eventual non-human rendition of Jabba.

I think the scene is an interesting extra curio but the film is better without it.
