Lucasfilm
George Lucas' sci-fi destiny was forged when the film opened in May of 1977 and essentially launched the summer blockbuster.
One moment in the film that's always fun to go back and analyze is when Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) enter the Mos Eisley cantina in search of a pilot to take them to Alderaan. There they meet Han Solo (Harrison Ford), so obviously going into the cantina was worthwhile.
But Kenobi wasn't joking when he told Luke that in Mos Eisley, "You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."
Let's look back on ten interesting characters who were in the cantina the day Luke and Obi-Wan walked in.
Watch out, this place can be a little rough.
