Because Harry gave them the power to manufacture their own spice - I really think that he actually gave them the information rather than merely dangling it like a carrot.
At the same time they cut the legs out from under Empire, which means they have no reason to fear its wrath. Empire is crippled without them.
That’s not how deals work, and his offer was for ophallum, not the recipe, though you’re right that actually would be better overall.
But I think they always can fear empires wrath, the … stupid bicycle wheel jumped without spacers, they’re not required.
Nobody else likes to address this, but the ships with their drives are still weapons. If you know where an enemy is (or where their planet, ships, etc are), you can simply jump a ship to that location. The ship won’t survive, but you’ve introduced mass and energy where there previously was none… sending a bomb.
I’m brought back to that scene in one of the later Star Wars movies, where that one Jedi flagship went FTL into the middle of Kylo Ren’s stupid mega-cruiser, destroying everything. Why hasn’t that been used the entire time? Kamikaze attacks are still attacks.
We don’t really have specifics on how the Clone memory logging and data transfer works, but if its anywhere near real time or FTL, then you can send an army of Cleons out to scout, find an enemy, relay that thought to a control center, and jump a bomb ship. You could even just jump a drive strapped to a load of garbage for that extra juicy mass with little extra cost. It’s a green alternative to conventional warfare as you get to take out the trash.
Yeah, this has been a hole in a lot of sci-fi for a while, it was a shock when TLJ did it, but now it’s open everywhere.
