There was a "little person" operating the tail, whom Carrie Fisher stepped on in the strangling scene.

Operating Jabba took seven puppeteers in total.
One operator on the tail.
One operator on the right arm and jaw.
One operator on the left arm and tongue.
One operator on the facial muscles, nostrils, and lungs.
One operator underneath to smoke a cigar and blow through a tube.
Two operators managing remote-controls on his eyes.
(I would have also counted one extra for the puppeteer working Salacious B. Crumb)
Jabba cost nearly half a million USD to make. (A little more than 1.2 million in today's currency.)

Ben Burtt is most notable for creating many of the iconic sound effects heard in the Star Wars film franchise, including the "voice" of R2-D2, the lightsaber hum and the heavy-breathing sound of Darth Vader.
Have at it Jenny!

During the production of A New Hope, the Bantha was actually what in a fur costume?
Bonus points for the name.
Some more if you describe how it disrupted filming.

It was an Asian elephant named...Mar-ji, I think? I'm probably thinking of another movie, but didn't she make an utter mess of her droppings or something to that effect? (Even if I'm spot-on with that, and I sincerely doubt it, I'll defer to you to ask more.)

Spot on with the asian elephant part.
Close enough with the Mar-ji part, elephant's name was Mardji.
As for the bonus the elephant would shake the costume off during shooting.
Yous again, Sared.
