Is Spice the same as spaceship fuel?
In Star Wars Kessel is known for its spice mines. I had assumed that Star Wars spice was similar to spice in Dune or was some kind of space-heroin.
In Solo: A Star Wars Story They go to Kessel to retrieve some of that spaceship fuel. I remember hearing a line that refers to the spaceship fuel as spice.
I saw the film yesterday and I came out with the impression that spice and coaxium are the same thing. Am I crazy?
Best Answer
A quick comparison of the canon listing for both "spice" and "coaxium" on Wookiepedia confirms that they are not the same thing. In canon, spice is a narcotic, and there are several types, but all are meant for human consumption.
Coaxium only appears in the new Han Solo movie and upcoming book, and by all descriptions is completely different.
