Point taken.  Maybe we should replace all promotional images of the Falcon with that little space pod.  All the Christmas ornaments too.  In fact, they should change it so that the pod destroys the second Death Star. ^_~

Anyway... I just thought of something.  All things considered, I accept the meeting with Jabba to be canon (tail-stepping aside).  It was an event that occurred, but we never needed to see it, nor were we supposed to.  At any rate, to argue against my own point from earlier, I just remembered that line from the Greedo scene:  "I was just on my way to see your boss," which admittedly does make it sound like Jabba lives nearby or at least on the same planet.  So the events as they happened were:  Luke and Ben make the deal with Han.  Han is confronted by Greedo.  Han returns to his ship and talks to Jabba (who apparently Han expected to show up there).  Assuming Han was telling Greedo the truth, he would have gone to talk to Jabba immediately after having finished negotiating, presumably to tell him what, well, he did end up telling him:  that he had just accepted a fare that would pay off his debt with interest.

I don't really know where I was going with all this:  I just thought it was fun to step back and look at the events of Han's life that day.
