So is Slave I (Boba Fett's ship) just sitting there, abandoned, near Jabba's Palace?

Question

After blowing up Jabba's sail barge, Luke and R2 leave in his X-Wing, while the rest of the gang leave in the Falcon. But Boba Fett may or may not be getting out of the Sarlacc, and his ship is probably in the palace hangar if it has one, or else is parked nearby, probably visibly. For the amount of effort the rebels spend for every little ship, you'd think they'd take it. Or, if Solo and Fett still have a canon rivalry, maybe they'd blow it up.

It seems Lucas completely forgot about Fett's cool ship, and so did everyone else.

Slave I was not forgotten about, as you assert. It merely lost its history in 2014 when Disney de-canonized the EU.

In Legends, it was abandoned in orbit around Tatooine for many years before coming back into the possession of Boba Fett. The ship was later mostly destroyed in a fight with the Millennium Falcon but was repaired again at some future date. Slave I was operation again by the time the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. There was no record of (final) destruction in the EU, and was still in use by Fett in 41 ABY.

But yes, in current canon, as far as we know, Slave I is just sitting there, abandoned, near Jabba's Palace.

In current canon, Boba Fett has recovered Slave I and uses it again around 9 ABY. This is shown in:

...and likely the upcoming series The Book of Boba Fett.
It hasn't yet been shown what happened to the ship between Return of the Jedi and then.
