cautious.
Ben looks over at Luke, who gives the old Jedi a determined smile.
EXTERIOR TATOOINE —MOS EISLEY —STREET.
The speeder is stopped on a crowded street by several combat-hardend stormtroopers who look over the two robots. A Trooper questions Luke.
TROOPER How long have you had these droids?
LUKE About three or four seasons.
BEN They’re for sale if you want them.
TROOPER Let me see your identification.
Luke becomes very nervous as he fumbles to find his ID while Ben speaks to the Trooper in a very controlled voice. BEN You don’t need to see his identification.
TROOPER We don’t need to see his identification. BEN These are not the droids your looking for.
TROOPER These are not the droids we’re looking for. BEN He can go about his business.
TROOPER You can go about your business.
BEN (to Luke) Move along.
TROOPER Move along. Move along.
EXTERIOR TATOOINE —MOS EISLEY —STREET.
The speeder pulls up in front of a rundown blockhouse cantina on the outskirts of the spaceport. Various strange forms of transport, including several unusual beasts of burden, are parked outside the bar. A Jawa runs up and begins to fondle the speeder.
THREEPIO I can’t abide these Jawas. Disgusting creatures. As Luke gets out of the speeder he tries to shoo the Jawa away.
LUKE Go on, go on. I can’t understand how we got by those troopers. I thought we were dead.
BEN The Force can have a strong influence on the weak-minded. You will find it a powerful ally.
LUKE Do you really think we’re going to find a pilot here that’ll take us to Alderaan?
BEN Well, most of the best freighter pilots can be found here. Only watch your step. This place can be a little rough. LUKE I’m ready for anything.
THREEPIO Come along, Artoo.
INTERIOR TATOOINE —MOS EISLEY —CANTINA.
The young adventurer and his two mechanical servants follow Ben Kenobi into the smoke-filled cantina. The murky, moldy den is filled with a startling array of weird and exotic alien creatures and monsters at the long metallic bar. At first the sight is horrifying. One-eyed, thousand-eyed, slimy, furry, scaly, tentacled, and clawed creatures huddle over drinks. Ben moves to an empty spot at the bar near a group of repulsive but human scum. A huge, rough-looking Bartender stops Luke and the robots.
BARTENDER We don’t serve their kind here!
Luke still recovering from the shock of seeing so many outlandish creatures, doesn’t quite catch the bartender’s drift.
LUKE What?
BARTENDER Your droids. They’ll have to wait outside. We don’t want them here.
Luke looks at old Ben, who is busy talking to one of the Galactic pira tes. He notices several of the gruesome creatures along the bar are giving him a very unfriendly glare. Luke pats Threepio on the shoulder.
LUKE Listen, why don’t you wait out by the speeder. We don’t want any trouble.
THREEPIO I heartily agree with you sir.
Threepio and his stubby partner go outside and most of the creatures at the bar go back to their drinks.
Ben is standing next to Chewbacca, an eight-foot-tallsavage-looking creature resembling a huge grey bushbaby monkey with fierce baboon-like fangs. His large blue eyes dominate a furcovered face and soften his otherwise awesome appearance. Over his matted, furry body he wears two chrome bandoliers, and little else. He is a two-hundred-year-old Wookiee and a sight to behold.
Ben speaks to the Wookiee, pointing to Luke several times during his conversation and the huge creature suddenly lets out a horrifying laugh. Luke is more than a little bit disconcerted and pretends not to hear the conversation between Ben and the giant Wookiee.
Luke is terrified but tries not to show it. He quietly sips his drink, looking over the crowd for a more sympathetic ear or whatever.
A large, multiple-eyed Creature gives Luke a rough shove. CREATURE Negola dewaghi wooldugger?!?
The hideous freak is obviously drunk. Luke tries to ignore the creature and turns back on his drink. A
