Bounty Hunters versus Smugglers: What's The Difference? (Star Wars According to Mark)

Many people use bounty hunter and smuggler are interchangeable terms, but here's a shocker: they're not the same thing, not one bit.

Thankfully, logic prevails: a bounty hunter hunts for bounties, whereas a smuggler...well...smuggles stuff. But what other attributes differ between these two professions? Let's dive right in.

1. Legality.
1. Smuggling is a highly illegal profession. Their job centers around delivering illegal cargo from Point A to Point B without being caught. 
2. Bounty Hunting is, actually, quite legal. They are hired to hunt down targets, and bring them dead or alive. 
1. NOTE: While bounty hunting is a legal profession, that doesn't mean all bounty hunters perform legal activity. Bounty hunters like Boba Fett often worked for crime lords, and thus were considered criminals.
2. Preferred Starships
1. The preferred starship type of the smuggler is the light freighter. What they want is a small starship with a decent sized cargo hold, as well as plenty of hidden compartments to hide contraband, as well as themselves on occasion. 
2. Bounty hunters don't have a particular type of preferred craft. Instead, they might choose from a variety of starships. Boba Fett, as an example, was known for the Slave I, which was a starfighter. The Mandalorian had the Razor Crest, which was a gunship. Other bounty hunters might prefer a light freighter so they have more room for bounties. Storage and speed, however, are never priorities for bounty hunters.
3. Reputation
1. Smugglers love their attention, sure, but they prefer to keep it low-key, as they are criminals. What they like to do is make their jobs well known, and keep their own reputation low. The problem with this is it makes it easier for other smugglers to steal credit for their jobs.
2. Bounty hunters absolutely need their reputation to grow. With little to no reputation, they won't get the right jobs. With high reputation, they can get any job for any price. For instance, if Boba Fett took a low-end job, he would be paid a small fortune for it, but if a start-up bounty hunter took the job, he'd be paid barely enough for travel expenses.
