35 Random Bits of Movie Trivia That Are Part of the Catina Band in Mos Eisley

The next time you give Star Wars another once-over, pay closer attention to that Cantina band. We know you true fans are like, “Oh, trust us, we’ve looked deeply into every frame of that movie,” but this might very well be the one thing you’ve missed. See, you might think there are only six members — well, on stage anyways. But there’s a seventh member sitting close to the stage, and a lesser-known source says there are actually eight official members. Maybe that one was sick for this Cantina show.

Anywho, although you see seven members, if you listen closely, you’ll hear dozens of other instruments being played by these off-camera movie facts. If you listen even more closely, you’ll hear them spout some little behind-the-scenes movie tidbits too.

Thought you were a true Star Wars fan, didn’t you?
