    Another major source is illicit drugs. This myth of respectability or innocent vice is what they thrive on.

    Cigarettes also get smuggled. They aren’t illicit.

    Lucas stole the name spice from Dune. In that, is spice illicit?

    That is the deciding factor.

    In Dune, it's mined both legally and illegally. When House Harkonnen moves back in, Gurney, the protagonist's arms tutor takes refuge with the spice smugglers.

    On the other hand, while spice in Dune has positive properties (extending the user's lifespan) we're told people with a high spice intake who stop taking it, die horribly.

    If the spice that Han was transporting was legal, why dump it? It was probably obtained illegally or underhandedly and he ultimately suffers the consequences. Good thing he makes some friends a long the way to unfreeze him later.

    EDIT: Also, @SuperWatto, we learned that Wocky doesn't consider dogs to be important, and probably shoots dogs for fun. What a monster.

    It wasn't all bad. Some of it was pretty good.

    I could make it better by doing a Census thread poll asking who the best conservative leader of the last 100 years was, having figures such as Winston Churchill and Barrack Obama as options. That would make things better.

    No man, that's getting old too.
    Here. The unwatchable Star Wars Show.
    Don't watch it.
    Just watch the Pablo Hidalgo bit at 6:23.

    Very cool. I can give my wife enough advance notice so she can arrange to leave the country.

    Celebration in a city that’s a short plane ride and cheap plane tickets away!

    I feel like I’m the only one who is excited about this after giving too much thought at how long it would take me to fly to Anaheim.

    It could have been legal cargo that he was transporting illegally, such as trying to avoid tariffs and such which probably carried heavy penalties.

    Sure, I hope the taxation of trade routes is in the new Solo movie. It was so riveting in TPM.

    I'm excited because, Celebration. Although, the family and I had been duped liked everyone else into thinking it was for sure going to be in Anaheim and had tentatively mapped out a whole Cali vacation. I haven't been to Chi Town since Thanksgiving of 95, so I'm going to be a bit of a fish out of water.

    I would watch the heck out of a Smokey & the Bandit style movie about Han and Boba Fett.

    I get her bed spot.

    Edit: I just watched the TFA bad lip reading with Mark Hamill doing Han. It was great. But I’m going to assume I’m late to the party and everyone has seen it.

    I'm definitely considering it. How quickly do tickets sell out?

    It probably depends what ticket you want. One day, multiple days, that sort of thing.

    What about a House That Jack Built style of Jabba the Hutt film?
