 Post subject: Moss Eisley=StarWars?Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 4:08 am 
Okay, I have a question that I didn't see answered. If it was and I'm overlooking it, I'm dreadfully sorry. The question: On the erly posters, it looked like the band was going by MossEisley. Is this a reference to the Moss Eisley in Star Wars. Dum question, I know, but my brothers are huge fans of Star Wars and I gotta ask. _________________ nhlBENJI~Always alone, never lonely |

If no one has said it yet, welcome to the forum! There really needs to be an FAQ for this; I don't see one at the moment. Yep, Eisley used to be MossEisley, and yes, this is a reference to Star Wars. None of them are superfans or anything, but the DuPrees like the movies. They changed it to Eisley because their lawyer advised them that if George Lucas wanted to sue over the name, he'd win. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Perfect example of the band's inner nerd. When I first found out this fun bit of info, I wanted to break out in applause. Props to them. By the way, the wiki article on Eisley is a good source of info for facts that aren't in the FAQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisley |

I think that since the town was called Mos Eisley and pronounced with a long o (Mose Eisley,) they probably posed the same threat of being sued then as they do now. But I like just Eisley better. It was a good change. But then again, I prefer two syllable band names. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

I think they still should have stayed with The Toeheads but they are not all blonde anymore so it would not work _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action. Therefore I consider these goals to be primary and supreme over all others. Cicero |
