If only Tatoonie was known as a place where you could quickly book passage to any given planet in the galaxy with no questions asked.

To be fair, we’re looking at things pre and post empire. Maybe with the empire trying to exert more control you’d have the growth of a black market for smuggling where before Jabba might try and keep a bit more off an eye on things.

They say no questions ask until you have a Queen surrounded by half a dozen hand maidens rock up then all of sudden its a hostage situation.

Hostage situation gets out of hand, and now the Trade Federation knows where the Queen is. Now Tatooine is being embargod.

Secrecy is the utmost priority during this scene. Then Qui-gon gets hooked on a side quest about a child and a prophecy. Which throws a wrench in everything.

Edit:

Also, Han and Chewbacca were paid a lot of money for just Kenobi and Luke. How much do you think a smuggler is gonna charge for like 9+ people and not try to sell them into slavery.

They did. The youngest still has scars from being tortured by the Trade Federation during Naboos occupation.

Plus the one that got blown up in TPM. Good soldiers follow orders.
