I thought this would have been in the FAQ but if memory serves me right, they modified the name of the cantina Mos Eisley in Star Wars. Then they changed it to Eisley to avoid a legal battle with George Lucas. I probably explained that horribly, but I believe that's the gist of the whole thing. _________________ Thistledown |

guitarfreak is right. MossEisley is just the name that Eisley had up until early 2003 when they first got signed to Warner Bros. So, you'll hear MossEisley when people people are referring to their older releases like EP1 and EP2. They changed their name when they were signed just for potentional legal issues, and such. It flipped flopped between some ideas for a bit (neverland,etc), but they just settled on Eisley. |

Yeah, as was mentioned before, MossEisley comes from the Mos Eisley cantina on the original Star Wars, but it was shortened to Eisley to assuage the possibility of legal action by Lucasfilm. They thought of the original name because they wanted something to sound as "out of this world" as their music, or so the soundbite says. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog ..

Mos Eisley is the name of the city, in which there happens to be a cantina. |

"From a distance, the spaceport looks like a haphazard collage of low-grade concrete, stone, and plastoid structures that spread outward from a central power-and-water distribution plant like the spokes of a wheel. Also, at a distance, the smooth circular depressions of launch stations like craters pockmarked the landscape." I can see why they would pick such a name. _________________ don't ask me ask the ministry |
