Han at Mos Eisley

There's something I want to know. Why are Han and Chewie at Mos Eisley Cantina? This is something that is bound to have been explained in certain sources, but I still don't actually know. I mean are they there just to hang out to have a drink or two? Well if so, then why on Tatooine?
Or are they there to settle things with Jabba or was it just coincidence that he happened to be at the Docking Bay while they were there? Anyone know for sure?

No I believe he was hiding from Jabba more than trying to find him, since Greedo was the one trying to get the bounty in taking his head off. They were trying to leave when Greedo found them.

Han knew Jabba lived on Tatooine...he probably landed there to pick up or deliver contraband to somebody other than Jabba. Since Han owed Jabba money from the dumped spice, he was probably avoiding the slug like the plague. He and Chewie probably just stopped to have a drug before heading off world and saw the deal with Ben and Luke as a way to pick up the cash. Then ran into Greedo..."This time I've got the money".

Ah, I see. Thank you very much, UBH and Gundy-dear. Still, you'd think some sort of source would have explained this more clearly wouldn't you? Oh well.

Sometimes they gotta leave it to the REAL experts 😉

Hmmmmmm....I just re-read my last post and I meant to say drink, not drug....hey, I know what you're all thinking..I really did, I really did !!! 😘

I see Gundie's addiction has ran to far! Just go to www.Iseekhelpformyaddiction.com 😂

I think I read this in the last Han Solo trilogy book, he had just lost the Falcon and was on the run from Jabba, he was looking for something to keep him busy so he came to the cantina, I don't know, I only read the end of the book before I had to put it back on the bookstore shelf.

It doesn't really matter what he did there, now does it?

Hi UBH, nice to have you back.

Hello, earth to queeq....UBH's post is dated 1/23. What planet are you on ??? 😂

Sorry. I REALLY miss him. 🙁

Well I miss him too. BUT you still have ME. 🤣

That's true... and a relief.
*grabs Gundy and drags her into the skeleton closet again* 😂

Oh, you only want to come in here cause its where I'm making those BBQ baby back ribs and double stuffed cheddar cheese giant baked potatoes. 😂

I love it when you talk that way to me. 😂

*walks in with queeq's barf bag*
I wonder what you to have been doing in that closet..

And where's Han?

Han's off topic now. 😂

Yeah, I bet you want to know what's going on in that closet, gutter girl.

Yeah, I know what's in the closet..I wasn't born yesterday ya know...

DRAGGING BACK ONTO TOPIC!!!!

So, if you were trying avoid meeting someone, you pull up on their doorstep and just hope they don't notice?

Nah, I think it's a more a plot point that became a gaping big plot whole, IMHO.

Keep your friends close...and your enemies closer...Han was doing that..in a way 😂
