Indeed, but there is a plethora of EU stuff dealing with them chasing Boba around the galaxy.
The Marvel comic extended the pursuit for obvious reasons, but they did manage a flashback story or two with Han.
Hmm, I faintly remember all that....but really that was them just selling comics for the 3 year gap....dunno, I just fill in the gaps myself

Agree, I'm sure you can explain every doubt in the storytelling by pointing towards EU material, but the fact that we even question these things in the first place is a big flaw in the filmmaking IMO. ROTJ doesn't sit well with many as a follow up to ESB for a reason, I could live with these sort of flaws if everything else in the movie was well done, making Leia Luke's sister has to be the biggest joke of the script but there's a drop in quality in every stage of the production from; script, directing, acting, editing, cinematography and effects that just reeks of getting it over with. I recall a continuity error with Artoo in the ewok village when Luke is using the force in order to set free our heroes, where Artoo goes from tied up to untied to tied up again, nothing really unusual but in a big film like this you expect more attention to detail, especially when the scene deals with our heroes being tied up.
It's a very tired film, Han Solo turned into a clown, his constant winking at the camera to make sure you're aware that it's only a movie and this is just for fun and not to be taken seriously. The stormtroopers running around yelling freeze, they would be equally intimidating with water pistols in their hands. The previous two films never took themselves too seriously, but the up front jokiness in what are meant to be the epic last struggle for the rebellion have scenes like this in it:
IIRC a few moments later you have him shrugging at the camera and basically say sorry to the Imperials when the ewoks turns up. It's campyness with a fun Tarzan yell thrown in. There's no real threat involved, only guys who pretends playing war in the woods. If this is all made in an attempt to counterbalance the tone in those scenes in the throne room I don't know but it doesn't work for me, Star Wars and ESB knew when it should be serious and not so serious.
