CLASSIC IMAGE: THE DENZIENS OF MOS EISLEY

Here's a great piece of McQuarrie artwork-I believe conceptual from STAR WARS early pre-production between 1975/76- that's rarely seen, showing another side of the streets of Tatooine's infamous Mos Eisley spaceport, where aliens of dubious distinction and morality mingle seamlessly with the evil tyranny of the Imperial Stormtroopers.

In my mind's eye, amongst the alien noises and Stormtroopers crackling voice mikes, I can just hear John Williams atmospheric Cantina Band music playing away in the far distance!

With thanks to Colin Kenworthy for the image.
