Too bad it's mostly a rehash of what Han told Greedo.

I think he was refering to his appearance in TPM.

In which case, that apperance is so short that it is a nice cameo and really only sets Jabba up as some gambler ring operator, they could have easily used Jorba in that spot (i believe that is Jabba's father, or is it Zorba, either way, some other hut, possibly one that is related but since they dont have last names that would be somethign for the EU/Books to elaborate on)

But i can also see the reason for leaving him to Jedi. Since he really isnt mentioned specifically in the PT, except for the breif scene, it kinda works nicely in this respect. We here about these bad ass Hutts that rule the planet in TPM, then we hear even more about them in Episode IV, and about this specific one, then In Empire its even more about how big and bad Jabba is...then in Jedi we see him and its like bam, heres Jabba, this is what a hut looks like, this is the bad ass Jabba (typing this i would agree with the not seeing a Hutt at all in the PT, it adds to the suspense of who is this Jabba guy)

I think the current PT/OT will work best if watched OT then PT...ideally it should have been written so it works PT then OT as well as OT then PT
