Yes, and it was meh because of the reasons I listed.

Oh this misterious backwater planet were is produced the most valued shit on the universe but we don't know how it's made, we just buy it from these desert people because we are an evil all powerful intergalactic empire but we just can't deal with some desert dudes, we really can't put up a shitton of satellites taking photos of every inch of these planet to know where the fuxk the most important thing in the universe is mined or produced from.

We can deal no problem with interestellar travel, but some sand? Oh boy no that's impossible to deal with.

Again, I'm very annoying about sci-fi in general.
