[Star Wars] Why would Jabba, a major crime lord even deal with Han Solo, isn’t he supposed to be much bigger?

He control the hyperspace routes of entire planets. Back in the clone wars, he negotiated with senators, and can even get the Jedi to do favors for him. Darth Vader, arguable the second most powerful person in the government works with him once in a while. Meanwhile, Han Solo is paying of a debt, where extorting an old man in the middle of nowhere can fill it up. It seems so insignificant as to how powerful Jabba is supposed to be. This would be like if a big deal mafia were to meet up and negotiate with some thug owing 10000 dollar, it doesn’t make him seem very strong in comparison.

On the contrary, this is exactly the kind of thing Jabba handles personally. Han is one of the best, one of Jabba's favorites. Then he dumped Jabba's cargo. And while that money may be gone, Han is still around. Letting Han live without repaying makes Jabba seem weak. But hanging a frozen Solo to his wall makes Jabba all the more terrifying to the rest of the smugglers on his payroll. No one steals from Jabba.

In other words, it's not about the money, it's about sending a message.
