![]() It was the perfect setting for a LEGO set, and I’m so glad that LEGO decided to make it a set this large to really depict as many details as possible. ![]() The Mos Eisley Cantina scene is so memorable and really encapsulates the atmosphere of the Star Wars movies. That is until Han fires on Greedo and makes his exit. During his confrontation with Greedo the bounty hunter, Han is totally calm the whole time they’re talking. ![]() We also see that even though Han is a smooth talker, he’s not averse to danger. His negotiations with Luke and Obi-Wan are fun to watch. He’s an outlaw who plays friendly, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the bottom line. There’s an immediate charm that Han conveys, and Harrison Ford does a wonderful job of conveying his roguish personality. The Cantina is also where we first meet Han Solo and Chewie. It’s a stark demonstration of how par for the course violence is in Mos Eisley Cantina. For a brief moment, the music stops, but then everyone just carries on as normal. Luke is assaulted by a random alien for literally no reason other than he “doesn’t like him”, and in retaliation, Obi-Wan cuts the alien down using his lightsaber. It’s the start of his great adventure, and he’s out of his depth, just like the audience is. It’s his first time being exposed to so many alien races having grown up in his aunt and uncle’s homestead on Tatooine. Mos Eisley is described as a “wretched hive of scum and villainy”, and the audience is thrown into the main story alongside Luke. Played by the fictional band ‘ Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes‘, it’s the soundtrack to one of the best scenes in the original Star Wars trilogy. The Cantina Band song is iconic and probably as easily recognised as the Star Wars theme tune. ‘Do do do do dododooo…’ Admit it, you sang that in your head just reading it.
