[Star Wars] Why does everyone overlook the fact that Han Solo was a drug runner/criminal lowlife? Wasn't there a worry he would sell out the Rebels if bribed?

Also why was Chewbacca, an honorable person, cool with running drugs?

Rebellions have always relied on people like this.  Many of the American revolutionaries were rum runners trying to avoid British taxes.  Much of our navy at the time was basically colonial sanctioned pirates (privateers).  The criminal lowlifes are exactly the sort of people that can infiltrate and pass information.  They know the ins and outs of a society.  Any oppressive occupying force will often use these people to smuggle things and people in and out of occupied territory if they are unwilling or unable to do it themselves.  Napoleon ran his own continental blockade to get luxury British goods while at war with them.             
              
In short a criminal lowlife if trusted is exactly the sort of person you would want helping with your rebellion.
