They're appear to be a totally new sub-culture in the Star Wars universe. I
have never read anything about these Mods anywhere else and have not seen
anything resembling them in previous movies, even in the places where you'd
expect to see them, such as Coruscant. Everything appears to be a shade of
beige in Tatooine so I found it bizarre to see such a colourful group of people
in the Outer Rim. I haven't warmed to them at all and would have preferred to
see Fett deal with the mayor's assistant himself by using his own methods,
namely his jetback and rocket launcher.
