There a bit far away for anything other than snipers.

i don't think it would be such a good idea unless the cliffs were really high then snippers would have an advantage

Just out of curiosity, do anyone actually use those cliffs east of Mos Espa city for anything? I see untapped potential, and today used a speeder bike to get up on the relatively plateau with a mortar. I found that most shots tended to fall just short of the Slave Quarters, though, so I don't think I'll do that again. I haven't tried taking a rocket launcher or sniper rifle yet.

I imagine that for the Rebels, putting a team up on the cliffs could provide a great ambush/early warning potential. You can see Imperials bound for the Slave Quarters from a mile away, and as they don't expect attack from the cliffs, they're less likely to notice you before you open fire.

Edit: The cliffs are only accessible on the 64 player map.
