From a distance, the spaceport looks like a haphazard collage of low-grade concrete, stone and plastoid structures that spread outward from a central power-and-water distribution plant like the spokes of a wheel. Also, at a distance, the smooth circular depressions of launch stations look like craters pockmarked the landscape.
The town is really larger than it looks, as a good portion of it lies underground. In fact, the town has a population of around 40 to 60 thousand people, varying seasonally. It had been built from the beginning with commerce in mind: even the oldest of the town's buildings had been designed to provide protection from the twin suns. The buildings looked primitive from the outside and most of them actually were. The Mos Eisley Cantina used to be one of the spaceport's original blockhouses.

History Mos Eisley was actualy one of the early settlements on Tatooine. [1] The starship Dowager's Queen crashed into the desert, and from the remains a settlement spread out. As the town developed, the city center moved away from the burnt-out remains of the ship. Mos Eisley increased in importance, as many residents of Anchorhead considered their city to expensive, and an inflow of Rodian refugees helped building the city's many docking bays. The nearby city of Mos Espa decreased in prominence with the shrinking interest in Podracing, and Mos Eisley became the defacto captital of Tatooine when Jabba the Hutt moved part of his crime empire to the city. As the Galactic Empire took over the planet, it installed a prefect in Mos Eisley, along with an contingent of stormtroopers.

In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Garindan, a spy who was working for the Empire, tracked Han Solo and Luke Skywalker to the hangar where Solo's ship was parked. A squad of Sandtroopers were called in and entered the bay. Solo, who was making some last minute exterior adjustments on his ship, was suddenly interrupted by the shout of one of the troopers, "Over there! Blast 'em!" As the sandtroopers filed in and opened fire, Solo, who evaded their shots, managed to lay down suppression fire in return until he boarded the Millennium Falcon and took off.
