Okay Star Wars fans, get ready for the next breakthrough character sure to eclipse IG-88, Bossk and Dengar in popularity. It's the Mos Eisley extra. Throughout the Mos Eisley arrival sequence, keep your eye on a particular human extra. He wears a tan tunic, not unlike Luke’s, brown pants and boots, a brown vest, and a "Gilligan’s Island" type tan hat with a large pair of goggles on them. This guy has more screen time than those bounty hunters combined. I'm sure the Kenner action figure is in the works.
1. First, we see him in the original Mos Eisley establishing shot, which became the ronto bucking shot in the Speecial Edition. He walks across the shot in the foreground.
2. "There up for sale if you want them." As Ben says this line, look at the space between Threepio’s head and the stormtrooper captain. There’s the extra.
3. "These aren’t the droids we’re looking for." As the stormtrooper captain says this line, look at the space between him and the speeder. There’s the extra, again.
4. "Move along..." As the trooper waves the speeder on, and the landspeeder pulls away, watch as the stormtrooper steps back. Behind him, the extra walks behind a building, heading toward the left side of the screen. In the Special Edition, the extra is covered up by a ronto.
5. The traveling shot, as the speeder moves from left to right, this extra is the first guy walking on the left side of the screen.
6. As Luke’s speeder comes to a stop, and a Jawa goes to grope the repulsorcraft, the extra walks behind the speeder, to camera right.
7. "I thought we were dead." As Luke says this line (off-screen), the extra walks from left to right, behind of the speeder.
8. Later, after the scuffle in the cantina, as Threepio comments "I don’t like the looks of this." the extra walks from left to right.
1) The ASP droid • Industrial Automaton's general purpose ASP-7 droids. Also known as "thindroids." These slight humanoid robots are fifth-degree menial laborers. This particular one, ASP-704, was tasked with adding comm repeaters to the Mos Eisley communications system.
2) Power Droid • Power droids are ambulatory generators with extremely limited personality programming. They are common sites throughout spaceports. This particular model can later be seen "chatting" with Artoo and Threepio in front of the cantina.
3) R1 unit • Industrial Automaton's first entry in the popular R-series astromech droids. The R1 was specifically designed with capital-scale transport vessels in mind.
4) Unknown • This strange tall droid can be glimpsed in the streets of Mos Eisley, and in the inner corridors of the spaceport.
5) LIN unit • LIN units are used in mining and demolitions. They have an underside mine-laying hatch. Their domed structure is built to withstand cave-ins and explosions.
6) R2 unit • The R2 is easily the most popular of Industrial Automatons astromech, having sold through its initial run many times over.
7) Imperial Mark IV probe droid • This droid, nicknamed Face by members of the Mos Eisley Militia, helps patrol the streets of the spaceport city. Note that when Mos Eisley's prefect decided to improve the city's communications network with a series of comm repeaters, many Mark IVs mistook the increased signal activity as illegal communications.
8) R2 unit • Another of the many R2 units seen in Mos Eisley.
9) R2 unit • This particular R2 cannot be seen in the Special Edition, as he is replaced by a computer-generated ronto creature.
10) R5 unit • This particular droid is named R5-A2.
