San Tekka left Leia, Breha, and the droids in the alleyway while he entered the cantina to arrange transport to the Outer Rim. He first spoke with a pair of light freighter owners, but they were in need of laborers, not useless passengers.

"One hour, human. Don't be late."

"If you can trust him."
"We have no other choice."
"I have a bad feeling about this."

"We are approaching Tatooine. Prepare for landing. When we land, follow my lead. I have made some arrangements with the locals for you," the Rodian said over the comm system.
As soon as they had landed, the ramp lowered and the hatch opened. The air was like an oven and took their breaths away. San Tekka said, "Good old Tatooine."
