Star Wars: 10 Secrets Of Mos Eisley Cantina You Need To Know

10. It Has A Name

The canon tie-in book, Star Wars: Complete Locations by Simon Beecroft, Kerrie Dougherty, Jason Fry, James Luceno and Kristin Lund, revealed that the cantina was actually named Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina by the time that Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi came to meet Han Solo. It was one of the more popular if not dangerous locales in Mos Eisley.

It was a popular spot for smugglers and bounty hunter to pick up new jobs and for a time, the bounty hunter guild operated some of their campaigns while using the place as a front.

For a long time, Chalmun's was a known spot for those in the employ of Jabba the Hutt. Greedo may have been the most recognisable and unlucky employee of Jabba's to take a drink there but he was far from the only one.

In the fourth episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, "Sphere of Influence", several of his associates were involved in a firefight while they used the bar for a hostage negotiation, while may not have been the smartest move when dealing with the Pantoran Supreme Chairman, and the daughter they'd taken.

These bounty hunters may have been mean, yet the Jedi Padawan Ashoka Tano, who had been sent to reclaim the Chairman's daughter, was not impressed.
