Well, according to Making Star Wars, there was a movie in consideration the effect of Mos Eisely Spaceport: A Star Wars Story (that wouldn’t have been the actual title), and it may have been the source of the recent news surrounding the Star Wars spinoffs.
One of the most iconic moments from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is when Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, C-3PO and R2-D2 travel to Mos Eisley following the discovery that Luke’s Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru were killed by stormtroopers.
Supposedly some space reserved at Pinewood Studios that had been cancelled, but it was actually for this movie rather than one of the publicly-known spinoffs, and now this Mos Eisely project has either been shelved or postponed.
While we’d already seen aliens like Jawas and Tusken Raiders, the moments in the spaceport, particularly the cantina where we met Han Solo and Chewbacca, gave us a better idea of just how many colorful creatures populated the galaxy far, far away.
