Also, as Han says in Empire, he almost decide to stay, but a bounty hunter on Howard Mandel changed his mind.
That incident must have happened within a week or so of ESB taking place so why didn’t he pay it off in the 3 year time span between SW and ESB? I can understand taking a liking to these people and their cause but he could have at least sent someone to pay the bounty for him seeing as how he was a General in the Rebellion.
