In a weird way, the scene Lucas shot for ANH with the "human Jabba" could have worked...say nobody knew who or what Jabba actually was, and he was a behind the scenes type of guy. Despite the SW universe being filled with interesting looking aliens, a huge slobbering slug being an intergalactic criminal genius would be a cool twist. If Jabba used the fat British guy as a "front"...everyone thought HE was Jabba. Of course, this only works if we see a clever Jabba and not the horny goon we got...and if "The Hutt" is just a weird nickname and not the name of his friggin' species! Why not Lando the Human? Darth the Walking Black Rubber Dildo? Leia the Coke-Snortin' Machine Supreme?
And excellent point on how lame it is Jabba lives on Tattooine. If he's after Han, why the hell does Solo show up and hang out in his backyard like it ain't no thang? And why does he only send Greedo to smoke him? Jabba, Jabba, Jabba...you coasted on your looks for years and you paid the price in the end.
