Different regions on the outskirts of the city were also seen from the landing sites of the Naboo starship and Darth Maul's Infiltrator . He probably landed on a different side of Mos Espa, otherwise he surely would have seen the Queen's ship with his macrobinoculars. The Skywalker hovel has been seen from front and back faces in short and long range. The slave quarters in the block containing the Skywalker dwelling are stacked at least two levels high on the street side, and the entry to the Skywalkers' is on the street level. The rear side leads to a common open balcony platform with knee-high wall.
Stairs lead down from the balcony to the open flat plain of the town's margins.
The ground level on the outer, rear side of the building appears to be a level lower than the street, which suggests that there may be an additional floor of hovels or utility rooms below the level of the Skywalker home. A useful place to start for constraining the specific layout of Mos Espa is the gigantic pod-race arena. Several features visible at the scale of the individual characters can be identified on the larger-scale views of the scene. The complimentary observation tower used by Anakin Skywalker's family was far behind the starting grid and was the tower with the poorest shade, which gives only one possibility, indicated in the diagram below. The Hutts' platform must be in a deservedly central position.
