Plot Hole? Why Didn't Han Pay Jabba Back?

And when Han Solo said he had to pay Jabba the Hutt over the bounty, he said it as a goodbye forever, didn't he? Even Leia mentions it later in the film "And then you're gone" . Han Solo wouldn't come back to join the Rebellion after he payed Jabba the Hutt? Anyone find this strange?

What makes even less sense is that the Falcon turns into a heap of crap between ANH and TESB. It works fine when he's a smuggler swimming in debt, and jumps to hyperspace without issue.
But then he comes into some money and becomes a senior officer in the Rebel Alliance. He has access to countless astromech and repair droids, every tool in Echo Base, computers, maintenance equipment, and now it won't start unless you punch it. And the big problem that wouldn't allow it to jump to hyperspace BOTH times? Artoo fixes it by turning something.
He couldn't have asked Artoo to look at it in the 3 previous years? WTF? -

Well, just because the Death Star was destroyed doesn't mean that the whole Empire just surrendered. (Witness the subtitle of Episode V, if you don't believe me.) So perhaps he didn't want to fly all the way back to Tattooine to pay back a giant slug and then get his ship blown out of the sky by an Imperial Star Destroyer.

I think it's implied from the opening crawl that the Rebels have been on the run since the Imperials destroyed their base very shortly after the first film (and most viewers would interpret TESB takes place a few months later rather than the three years the EU established).

We should one day get a film or TV series set between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back that could hypothetically further explain why Han never got around to paying Jabba back.

It's very likely Star Wars Rebels will surpass the events of Rogue One and IV, and move into the unexplored 3 year region of IV and V. Good that we finally get to see what's going on here and not so good that Disney would be doing it with the "good guys always win" cartoon series.
The Galactic Civil War was basically ignited after the Death Star was destroyed, but for some reason 3 years of the gap between IV and V remain mostly unanswered, even when the expanded universe was in its prime just a few short years ago. -

He was running from Jabba in the originals. It wasn't until the added scene in the rerelease when he agrees to pay him back.
Apparently, Jabba can be reasoned with (Han even talks Jabba down from 20% to 15%), making his scenes in Jedi a lot less powerful.
