Docking Bay 94/Legends

"We'll leave as soon as you're ready. Docking Bay Ninety-four."

- Han Solo, to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker

Docking Bay 94, one of Mos Eisley's 362 docking bays scattered throughout the city, was where the Millennium Falcon waited to rendezvous with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, and C-3PO and where a notorious meeting between Jabba the Hutt and Han Solo took place about a spice shipment tragedy Solo had never paid back. Ohwun De Maal and his wife owned this bay along with several others nearby.

Docking Bay 94, like all of the bays in Mos Eisley, consisted of an entrance ramp and a restraining wall that surrounds a shallow pit. The pit absorbed and deflected the blasts made when starships landed or took off. By law, ships with repulsorlifts were required to use them when entering and leaving the docking bays.

Behind the scenes
After filming had finished on the set of Docking Bay 94 the set was transformed into the Death Star Docking Bay 327, since the set of the Millennium Falcon did not fit out the stage doors.

The scene in which Han Solo and Jabba meet went through numerous changes between the original release and the Special Edition. Originally, an actor portrayed Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Later, in 1997, digital technology allowed Lucasfilm to use a computer-generated imagery for the Hutt. The Special Edition version is canonical.

The number 94 appears on the walls of the docking bay.
