Episode 5 of season 4 The Askari Cast talks the "dope game" in Star Wars!
After many Star Wars break downs, it's curious no one really talks about the fact that Han Solo was pretty much running drugs, weapons and many other things as a "smuggler" for the Hutts and other groups. Everyone pretty much focuses on the Jedi/Sith or Empire/rebel or New Republic aspects. The old expanded universe has been relegated to "legend" status since Disney's takeover, but it looks like spice running has been reintroduced with the last season of the Book of Boba. Rod Van Blake and Jocelyn Short give their thoughts on whether the "dope game" will continue to be a minor undertone despite still moving the actual plot in some cases or be more heavily featured as the tales of the Mandalorians grow within the overall lore?
