NEXT TO THIS CROWD, YOUR LOCAL TAVERN LOOKS LIKE AN INTERNET CAFE.
This place can be a little rough.

The Mos Eisley Cantina is one of the all-time classic scenes from the Star Wars saga. Not only was it the first time that we saw a large assemblage of weird aliens going on with their everyday lives, it was also the Star Wars equivalent to the Wild West saloons: music playing in the background, bartenders diving below the counter, and plenty of alcohol going around. The cantina sequence was filmed in two locations, one in the UK and one in Los Angeles. George Lucas thought that the cantina residents from the UK shoot were too human-like, so he planned pick-up shots with more alien-looking characters constructed by Rick Baker.

A lot of these aliens have become fan favorites such as “Hammerhead” Momaw Nadon, the cuddly Muftak, or the enigmatic Bith musicians. In this article, however, we will introduce you to some lesser known visitors of the Mos Eisley cantina. Next to the alien clientele, there were also a lot of human patrons. At first sight, they may not have four arms, a pair of horns or snaggleteeth, but their backstories are worth checking out.
