Currently a smuggler has really nothing to smuggle.
Here's an idea for something:
Imagine that in slicing it would be possible to add a certain optional component to clamps, flow analysers ... that would allow the smuggler to choose the kind of slice. Such a component would be really valuable andhighly illegal.
Now to get this component, which is only made by a certain ultra high tech lab placed on a far away planet (like Endor or Dathomir), the smuggler would have to go to the lab,buya load of components(make them unstackable), possible payingwith some other illegal substance and then bring the componentparts home for final crafting. Being caught with the component would mean confiscation and execution (at least they'll try :smileyhappy
. Make Stormtrooper searches more likely and dont make the master smuggler 95% immune... 75%would be a better number.
The point is... make the thing we smuggle worth something and kind of difficult to get.
The ultra tech lab might fabricate other stuff: Armor, weapon, chef, doctoroptional components.
The important thing is to make sure the smuggler can only carry so many components as her inventory, droid storage and ship hold (Jump) can hold, due to the unstackability of the components.
Also notice that the components are optional so clamps, weapons etc can be made without, functioning like now... but with the components the clamps, armor etc works better... they are of course illegal now.
Oh yes, one more thing... the lab must be placed on a planet where building is not allowed... No factory runs without smuggling to home planet.
