Which was a pretty dumb edit because Jabba didn’t seem like the kind of guy that would let Solo get away with stepping on him. And Solo would have also known that and not casually stepped on his tail.
Not to mention Jabba also didn’t seem like the kind of guy to meet with a smuggler he had a bounty on alone in a random ship bay. Even if Solo wouldn’t have been willing to just shoot his debt and bounty away, Jabba couldn’t have been sure about it and Solo already wasted a bounty hunter that caught up to him.
Would have been better to just edit the audio to make the other guy a representative of Jabba instead of sticking to the “this is Jabba but filmed before we decided to make him an alien slug so now we need to make it look like Jabba”. Even without the tail step, he looks ridiculous walking around like that compared to the massive thing he was just a year or so later, like he’s Jabba’s younger brother or nephew.
