Mos Eisley
Mos Eisley is a spaceport town on the planet Tatooine in the Star Wars universe. In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi described Mos Eisley as a "wretched hive of scum and villainy." It is also the home of the Mos Eisley Cantina. From a distance, the spaceport looks like a haphazard collage of low-grade concrete,stone,and plastoid structures that spread outward from a central power-and-water distribution plant like the spokes of a wheel. Also, at a distance, the smooth circular depressions of launch stations like craters pockmarked the landscape. The town is really larger than it looks, as a good portion of it lies underground. In fact, the town has a population of around 40 to 60 thousand people, varying seasonally. It had been built from the beginning with commerce in mind, even the oldest of the town's buildings had been designed to provide protection from the twin suns.
They looked primitive from the outside,and most of them actually were.
The Mos Eisley Cantina used to be one of the spaceport's original blockhouses.
Mos Eisley Grijpze is a chiptune song by Dalezy named after the Star Wars spaceport town.
