In the original theatrical release of Star Wars, Boba Fett does not appear. In the behind the scenes though, I recall Jabba was originally filmed (as a human, not a slug), and then the scene was cut. The scene was restored in the Special Edition, with the human replaced with the slug. Was Fett a part of that originally cut scene, or was he specifically added to the Special Edition?

No, as you can see from the various versions of the film (below), Boba Fett was added digitally to the 1997 Special Edition.








As an added bonus, you can see the (almost) full original original scene here

There is no mention of Boba Fett specifically in the shooting script, only "a half dozen grisly pirates and purple aliens":



 INT. DOCKING BAY 94 - DAY 

Jabba the Hut and a half dozen grisly pirates and purple
aliens stand in the middle of the docking bay. Jabba is
the grossest of the salivering hulks and his scarred face
is a grim testimonial to his prowess as a vicious killer.
JABBA
Come on out Solo!
A voice from directly behind the pirates startles them and
they turn around to see Han Solo and the giant Wookiee
Chewbacca standing behind them with no weapons in sight.
HAN
I've been waiting for you Jabba.
JABBA
I expected you would be.
HAN
I'm not the type to run.
JABBA
(Fatherly-smooth) Han, my boy, there are
times when you disappoint me ... why
haven't you paid me? And why did you have
to fry poor Greedo like that ... after all
we've been through together.
HAN
You sent Greedo to blast me.
JABBA
(Mock surprise) Han, why you're the best
smuggler in the business. You're too
valuable to fry. He was only relaying
my concern at your delays. He wasn't
going to blast you.
HAN
I think he thought he was. Next time
don't send one of those twerps. If you've
got something to say to me, come see me
yourself.
JABBA
Han, Han! If only you hadn't had to dump
that shipment of spice ... you understand
I just can't make an exception. Where
would I be if every pilot who smuggled for
me dumped their shipment at the first sign
of an Imperial starship? It's not good
business.
HAN
You know, even I get boarded sometimes,
Jabba. I had no choice, but I've got a
charter now and I can pay you back, plus
a little extra. I just need some more time.
JABBA
(To his men) Put your blasters away. Han,
my boy, I'm only doing this because you're
the best and I need you. So, for an extra,
say ... twenty percent I'll give you a
little more time ... but this is it. If
you disappoint me again, I'll put a price
on your head, so large you won't be able
to go near a civilized system for the rest
of your life.
HAN
Jabba, I'll pay you because it's my pleasure.


So a character like Boba Fett is certainly a possibility for this scene, but the character does not seem to have been specifically planned at this stage.
