The Jabba's Palace scene was important. However, the 3 other ships were not. There was no point to mention them if all that was gonna be said was that they were destroyed by the Coalition. The intro wouldn't really flow that well if they were just put in there just to say that they were destroyed. However, the other 5 are mentioned b/c they made it to the Sirius Sector. Even though the Hispania was damaged, it still made it (barely) and produced the two most powerful pirate factions of Sirius.
