Mos Eisley - A New Hope [1080p HD]

BILL MOYERS: 

What did you think about the scene in the bar?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: 

That’s my favorite, not only in this piece, but of many, many pieces I’ve ever seen.

BILL MOYERS: 

Why?

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: 

Well, where you are is on the edge, you’re about to embark into the outlying spaces. And–

BILL MOYERS: 

The real adventure.

JOSEPH CAMPBELL: 

The Real Adventure. 

This is the jumping-off place, 

and there is where you meet people who’ve been out there, and they run The Machines that go out there, and you haven’t been there. 

It reminds me a little bit in Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, the atmosphere before you start off the adventure. 

You’re in the seaport, and there’s old salts, seamen who’ve been on the sea, 

and that’s their world, and these are the space people, also.
