Well, here's the description of Jabba straight from the original edition of Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker (whcih pre-dates Jedi by quite a few years):
"A great mobile tub of muscle and suet topped by a shaggy scarred skull."
That's not all, either... the Empire Strikes Back novelization describes Yoda as being blue and having long, white hair!
As for Lucas' statements... I'll be damned if I ever buy into anything he states ever again.
