On the laid-back world of Tatooine, if you visit Chalmun the Wookie's Cantina in the bustling metropolis of Mos Eisley, you can find anyone or anything your heart desires. Wuher, the bartender will be happy to make you any drink you'd like and with a smile too! And for your listening pleasure, grab a seat and listen to the jizz-wailing sounds of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. Don't let the chains worry you these Bith musicians don't bite, they rock!
Using the 3D Pop-Up Diorama of the Mos Eisley Cantina, I've re-created many of the happenings in the Mos Eisley Cantina as depicted in A New Hope and Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina. The recreations include:

Han Solo and Greedo trying to blast each other to death over Jabba's bounty.
Imperial Sandtroopers questioning the Kubaz spy Garidan over the whereabouts of 2 missing droids.
Het Nkik the Jawa arguing with Snaggletooth over a newly found blaster. (Snaggletooth is substituting for a Ranat as mentioned in TMEC.)
Soon to be Rebel pilot Lak Sivrak, a Shistavanen Wolfman, watches the aforementioned Imperials closely while ordering a drink. Others drinking or awaiting a drink around the bar include, BoShek a pilot on the run from the Empire, Kabe a Chadra-Fan pickpocket, and Nabrun Leids a four-arm Moseerian smuggler.

Labria, a.k.a. Kardue'sai'Malloc the butcher of Montellian Serat listens to Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes along with Muftak, a soft hearted Talz and the miner named Ketwol.
An overzealous Ithorian tangles up with a Durosian smuggler and his Aqualish partner.
Chewbacca watches as Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi stops the murderous intentions of the psychotic duo of Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba. The two picked a fight with the bright-eyed Luke Skywalker, a fight they would soon regret. Wuher the bartender shouts the infamous line, "No blaster, no blasters!"
Note: You do in fact see a vintage Hammerhead, Momaw Nadon tending bar. Also you can see two of my customs, BoShek and hidden behind theHan & Greedo is my first custom, one I originally made back in my childhood when my Bossk figure broke. I call him Cantina Dude, even though someone else in the Cantina scene in ANH is called that.
