10 things you didn't know about the background characters in the iconic 'Star Wars' cantina scene

In continuation of our on-going series, "Star Wars" Rewind, in which we look back on all of the movies from the saga leading up to "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" (out December 18), we've now hit the one that started it all, "Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope."

But Kenobi wasn't joking when he told Luke that in Mos Eisley, "You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy."

Let's look back on ten interesting characters who were in the cantina the day Luke and Obi-Wan walked in.
