These Behind-The-Scenes Photos Will Make You Rethink The Star Wars Movies

Hive of Scum and Villainy

Mos Eisley Spaceport is one of the most notorious locations from the original Star Wars trilogy. It’s on the forgotten desert planet of Tattoo and is a ‘wretched hive of scum and villainy.’ Alec Guinness delivered this iconic description in his role as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The filmmakers recreated Mos Eisley on a smaller scale so that they use model spaceships. However, the size of the set was still large as the background vehicles prove. This is what separates Star Wars from rivals like Star Trek and other sci-fi franchises (via Eyelight).
