Talk:Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina/Legends

Reorganization
I propose that we, the Wookieepedians, find a way to organize all of the information in the section entitled "Other individuals in Cantina 0 BBY" -Anonymous
 * I was looking through the Cantina patrons, looking for a way to categorize them. I was thinking Episode IV, Holiday Special, and CCG...but then ran into a problem, cause a lot of characters have the CCG listed as a source, but I don't know which characters are CCG concieved versus featured.--Kjaydeck3 04:31, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Article title
Would not "Chalmun's Cantina" be a more appropriate title, with "Mos Eisley Cantina" as a redirect? I have a feeling that there's more than one such establishment in Mos Eisley. -- Aidje 18:02, 13 Apr 2005 (EDT)
 * Hmm. You might be right. Do what you need to, Aidje. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:08, 13 Apr 2005 (EDT)
 * I went ahead and moved it (as I'm sure you can tell), but when I went looking to see what the bartender's name was, I found that "Mos Eisley Cantina" may indeed be more correct. This states that the cantina was one of the first buildings in Mos Eisley and has changed hands many times. That would mean that "Chalmun's Cantina" isn't always correct, since he hasn't always owned it&mdash;of course, we already knew that he hadn't always owned it. I'm not sure what I think now. Second opinion? -- Aidje 10:29, 14 Apr 2005 (EDT)
 * The most likely search option for it would be "Mos Eisley Cantina". I think because we have no knowledge of other cantinas that it is the main one, and there would be no confusion. The introduction of Chalmun is relatively new and many people would not know who he is. So in that case, Chalmun's Cantina should redirect to Mos Eisley Cantina, and Chalmun's Cantina should remain as bloded in the article as another name. -- Riffsyphon1024 15:09, 14 Apr 2005 (EDT)
 * It's been a year...and it seems like despite "Mos Eisley Cantina" being the most common search term, the trend towards proper names for articles indicates it should be a redirect. --SparqMan 23:49, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. -- Ozzel 23:54, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
 * So...can we move it? -- Ozzel 23:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * We use the most common full, proper name used in-universe. If the Mos Eisley Cantina is the best-known name in-universe, and it's considered a proper name, a move isn't needed. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I plead ignorance, where is it called "Mos Eisley Cantina" in-universe? --SparqMan 08:37, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It is Chalmun's Cantina. I say it should be moved. --DannyBoy7783 01:13, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's called "Mos Eisley Cantina" all over Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, in ways which imply that the patrons thought of it as the Mos Eisley Cantina, no matter who the owner was. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:19, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Underworld Appendix: Swoops, Spice, and Wretched Rogues calls it Chalmun's Cantina. Can we move it now? Pretty pretty please? -- Ozzel 01:47, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Both Wikipedia and the Databank refer to it as "Mos Eisley Cantina," with Wikipedia adding that it is officially called "The Emerald Cafe." The Databank makes no mention of Chalmun whatsoever.  Chalmun's Cantina redirects to "Mos Eisley Cantina" on Wikipedia.  Just food for thought.  More to confuse the situation more than to solve anything.  Ewok Jedi 16:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I was wondering if anyone knows when it was first refered to as Chalmun's Cantina. I've honestly never heard it called that, though I did know about the character.--Kjaydeck3 01:59, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Sesame Street
I have heard in more than one source, that Sesame Street's Big Bird makes a cameo appearance. When I heard it, I thought it logical since Henson and Lucas were friends (and correct me if wrong, but I think that Henson participated in the alien makeup). Although I have seen the movie countless times, I never saw it, so I guess it was an urban legend. Anyone knows more about this? 62.74.4.70 18:29, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I highly doubt Sesame Street is hidden in Star Wars. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:34, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)
 * I believe this rumor refers to the silhouette of bird's legs that cross the screen at one point when Ben and Luke are walking in the streets of Mos Eisley; they were later identified as belonging to the Quor'sav smuggler Kal'falnl C'ndros. However, it's pretty obvious (to me, at least) that the legs aren't the same as the ones on everyone's favorite Muppet.  jSarek 21:00, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Emerald Cafe???
Where the hell did that come from? --Azizlight 04:56, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Holiday Special
Why not separate the entries from the Holiday Special and the actual Movie. Ackmena's Cantina and the one shown in the movie are completely different are they not?


 * No. The Databank confirms that they are the same one. Adamwankenobi 15:03, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Eras
Does that section mean the length of time it has existed or something else, because "constructed by early pioneers" seems to imply that it existed in the Old Republic era. It probably predates the KotoR games.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron 22:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

IG-88 heads?
Anyone know the story behind the IG-88 heads at the bar?Tocneppil 22:02, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * According to Star Wars: Complete Locations, they're "themed bar spigots modeled after head of infamous IG-88 assassin droid". --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * And OOU, the truth is that IG-88 was made from that piece of the cantina set. -- Ozzel 22:10, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Never noticed that. Funny.-- Lord Oblivion Sith holocron[[Image:Oldsith.png|30px]] 03:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Insider 91
Could somebody please mention the new stuff that was added in the Insider 91? --Sompeetalay 12:05, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Bossk
Is that Bossk behind Greedo? Its at 45:53 on the New Hope DVD. I just see his clothes, but it might be just an extra prop or something.--Darth Tyler(talk) 22:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Normally Bossk doesn't appear in ANH, but it does indeed look like his outfit. As does the spacer's outfit worn by Bo Shek. So I guess Bossk was very familiar with the latest fashion of spacer's wear. --Sompeetalay 19:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think there was a letter in one of the old Star Wars Insider issues that explained that those were all Saurins in the cantina. Bossk's and BoShek's costumes were basically the same surplus flight suits as the Rebel pilots'.Tocneppil 09:08, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The Page Now
Well It's been ages since I've logged on to Wookieepedia but I must say, I'm very impressed. Since nominating this page for improvement, a lot has changed for the better. Well done people! SecondSight 11:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Cantina Dude?
Who/where is he? I thought he had been identified as Danz Borin, but that's incorrect. Pretty sure this is who's being talked about under 'Bossk' here. It's the spacer wearing what was used as Bossk's outfit, and a full head cover helmet. Inigo Montoya 07:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ownership in Heir to the Empire?
A quote from Heir to the Empire:

"Jabba the Hutt's old cantina hadn't changed since the day Han first met Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi."

I know the Chalmun idea probably wasn't around when this was written, but has this discrepancy ever been explained away in the EU? Barbara Fett 19:18, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me or is something really wrong with this article?Jacen 22:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
