The Lizard Pen
We do get a brief glimpse in the movie of the lizard corral as Obi-Wan rides out with Boga but there was originally a bit more to the scene.
After Obi-Wan watches his starfighter take off he does a quick survey of the city using his electro-binoculars and wonders how he's going to get to the tenth level.
He then finds a corral filled with all sorts of lizards and dragons. He uses a mind trick on one of the Wranglers to get him transportation. Obi-Wan inspects the line of lizards and eventually picks one whom the Wrangler informs him is called Boga.
Here is the excerpt from the "ROTS Illustrated Screenplay" E-book...
108 EXT. UTAPAU - STAIRWAY - SINKHOLE RIM - DAY
OBI-WAN quickly rushes up a stairway cut into the side of the sinkhole. It's hard to see him. In an alcove, he carefully surveys the city, then quickly moves on.
109 INT. UTAPAU - CITY - DRAGON CORRAL - DAY
OBI-WAN makes his way through the city, looking up at the tenth level with electro-binoculars from his utility belt. He tries to figure out how he is going to get up there. He hears strange bellowing cries and he investigates.
He comes across a corral filled with about half a dozen DRAGON-LIKE LIZARDS. SEVERAL WRANGLERS are standing around.
OBI-WAN walks up to the WRANGLERS and uses the Force with his slight hand movements.
OBI-WAN
I need transportation.
WRANGLER
(subtitled, in native tongue) You need transportation.
OBI-WAN
Get it for me.
WRANGLER
(subtitled, in native tongue) I will get it for you.
One of the WRANGLERS turns to the others and chatters away in his strange tongue. OBI-WAN walks along the line of DRAGON/LIZARDS, checking out each one.
He looks at their teeth, legs, etc. Finally, he pats one on the neck.
OBI-WAN
This one.
The WRANGLER brings the chosen one over to him.
WRANGLER
Boga. She answers to Boga.
OBI-WAN
Good girl, Boga.
OBI-WAN swings onto the back of the LIZARD. The beast rears up and scurries outside to the edge of the sinkhole.
