Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina/Legends



"Most of the best freighter pilots can be found here, only watch your step, this place can be a little rough."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi to Luke Skywalker

Chalmun's Cantina, also known as simply the Mos Eisley Cantina, was a drinking and dining establishment on the planet of Tatooine.

Description


Identified only by a sign over the door reading simply "Cantina". The cantina was a popular gathering place for spacers and the center of a host of criminal activity in the spaceport of Mos Eisley, Tatooine. It was run by the Wookiee Chalmun, and both Wuher and Ackmena shared the role of bartender. Before the inception of the cantina, the site was occupied by B'omarr Monks and the Vriichon brothers, who before the purchase by Chalmun, were running an illegal spice den on the site and burying bodies in the basement.

Shortly before the Battle of Yavin, the Bith band the Modal Nodes was forced to accept a regular gig working at Chalmun's Cantina after the leader Figrin D'an gambled away ownership of the band's instruments in a rigged card game with Kardue'sai'Malloc. They eventually worked off the debt, however.

Following the deaths of Owen and Beru Lars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker made their way to the Cantina. They finally met with Han Solo and Chewbacca here. During talks over a trip to Alderaan, Luke encountered Ponda Baba, which resulted in Ponda losing an arm by Kenobi's lightsaber.

One reason Chalmun's Cantina was so popular among spacers is the droid detector that Chalmun installed in the foyer. For a long time, Imperial Sentry Droids made private discussions between smugglers and similar "businessmen" all but impossible. While the detector didn't keep the Sentry Droids out, it did warn everyone that their activities and discussions were about the come under Imperial scrutiny. This enabled everyone time to compose themselves and present a perfectly innocent demeanor.

Chalmun's Cantina remained open five years after the Battle of Endor, when Han Solo returned there to meet with the smuggler Dravis in an unsuccesful attempt to enlist him in cargo work for the New Republic.
