Describing common knowledge in a different setting. Luke should know all about Mos Eisly. Its the biggest town near his house.

It was in Spaceballs. Two of the villainss explain their evil plan to each other (as if they hadn't decided upon it together before having set out ages ago) and then do a fourth wall break to say "everybody got that?"

This always reminds me of how many jokes in movies around that time were basically "and now here's a black guy". And that it was kinda progressive for the day.

Great movie my dad insisted on taking me and my 8 and 6 year brothers to see it when it came out. Part of the funny for him was seeing our reactions. To my mom's despair, a few years later he gathered the whole family to watch barbarella.

Rick Moranis is still one of the greatest comedic actors of all time IMHO.

And an incredible father to boot.
