Summary
The landspeeder zooms in to the spaceport of Mos Eisley, scattering small scurriers who jump to get out of the way.
Guests
Notes
Film
- First Rebel transport
- ASP-7 labor droid
- Mk IV sentry droid: IM4-099

- We do see Rontos "again" - in the Naboo Movie.
- Although Brontosaurus is indeed back, Pluto is still not a planet.
- For an quick and enjoyable explanation of how paleontological naming works (using our pal Brontosaurus as an example), check this cool web comic

- Ralph: "I was doing a big muscle chest motion-" Pete: "More so than usual"
- Ralph: (on Wioslea) "Her head is like a potato and a fetus had a baby."
