None at all. They originally filmed the scene with an actor in a big fur coat, but they cut it out because it's kind of redundant - we don't learn anything about Han that the earlier scene with Greedo doesn't teach us in a more interesting way. Then they decided that Jabba would be a giant slug man some time in between 1977 and 1983.
