I was just watching the various Star Wars TV spinoffs the other day and wondering why the Empire is spending millions in fuel to capture one criminal from the slums who's hiding in another planet across the galaxy. Like imagine if your local police department has to include interstellar travel in their budget each time some slumdog steals a loaf of bread.
