Every Cancelled Star Wars Movie Ranked
8. Untitled Mos Eisley Film
Anyone who has watched A New Hope will remember Mos Eisley’s little cantina where Obi-Wan and Luke visited to find a ship off Tatooine, and more importantly, where Han shot first. Years later, fans catch themselves mindlessly humming the funky cantina band song. And why wouldn’t you? It’s catchy as hell.
The characters in the bar have appeared in other Star Wars instalments. The armless Ponda Baba and friend Dr Cornelius are horrifyingly fleshed-out characters in the Legends universe as sadistic criminals, and even briefly bumping into Jyn and Cassian in Rogue One.
But could the entire spaceport support a spinoff movie? Well, Disney doesn’t seem to think so anymore. To be honest, Star Wars is known for flying us around the galaxy, thus keeping the audience in one place is a significant risk. The closest we’ve got to a Mos Eisley set-piece is The Mandalorian’s fifth episode The Gunslinger, and maybe that’s all we needed.
