    I don't know what the time interval between TESB and RotJ was.
    I recall that at the beginning of RotJ, C-3P0 says that he's worried
because Lando and Chewbacca went in there, apparently a reasonably
long time ago, and didn't come back out.  Also, it was apparently
long enough time for Luke to become a little more proficient in the
ways of the force.  
    On the other hand, as the Millenium Falcon and Luke's X-Wing lift
off of Tatooine, Leia says, "Hurry, the alliance should be assembled."
I don't know how long it takes an alliance to assemble, but considering
it started no later than everyone leaving Hoth in TESB, it probably
wasn't more than a few months.
    If I was forced to guess, I'd suspect something between two and 
six months.

    Question:  why did Lando/Chewie "go in" but Lando is alone in Jabba's
palace?  How did Leia join up with Chewie, who we saw at the end of TESB
running off to fetch Han?

    Question:  why does Jabba the Hutt have such huge doors on his palace?
They didn't keep the Luke Skywalker out, but if you say he used the force
to open them, consider this:  Leia and Chewie came wandering in just as
casually as Luke did.  Leia didn't, at that time, know the force was 
strong in her, and, strong as Chewie may be, he can't lift *that* door up.

                                   The 'S' is not for 'Skywalker'
