"Jabba was actually in the original script/story of Star Wars (A New Hope for you youngsters). Yes, he was pasted in but over the original Jabba. "

Also, the cantina bounty hunter Greedo was NOT in the original script, and the whole scene with Han shooting first was only incorporated in order to get the plot information from the discarded Jabba the Hutt scene into the movie. The fact that Han then murdered him in the middle of a bar added to the Han Solo character in a way that the Jabba scene did not.

So re-inserting it was completely pointless, and results in Han having basically identical conversations within ten minutes of each other.
