In the aftermath of Episode IX parting ways with director Colin Trevorrow, Han Solo spinoff director Ron Howard took to Twitter to potentially show off a glimpse of a very blurry but possibly familiar location. While the shots aren't a dead giveaway for the scene Howard was filming, they look an awful lot like the interior decor of the cantina on Mos Eisley.

It's hard to make out much of anything in the photos above, but it's hard to deny the familiar feeling you get while looking at the photos.
The biggest hints that this could potentially be the cantina on Mos Eisley is the lighting that's embedded in the wall, which is very reminiscent of what we saw in the original Star Wars. The most memorable sequence that shows off this lighting being the scene in which Han Solo shoots Greedo.
Another hint are the tables seen in the shots, which look to be roughly the same size and height of the tables seen in the original film, despite these tables appearing to be hexagonal instead of circular. Considering the upcoming film is set years before we first met Han, it's possible that the cantina underwent some significant interior design changes.
An additional possibility is that this isn't even a cantina at all, and Star Wars fans are so desperate to see something we recognize about the upcoming spinoff that we're just grasping at straws.
We'll find out for certain what this sequence was when the still untitled Han Solo film debuts in theaters May 25, 2018.
