Filming location for Star Wars, Chott el Djerid, Tunisia

Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate, we’re at the Tunisian salt pan called Chott el Djerid. Nearby is a town called Matmata, where the residents still live and work in below-ground cave dwellings as a way to beat the heat. In the 1970s, when George Lucas needed a desert landscape to stand in for the distant home planet of Luke Skywalker, Chott el Djerid was chosen. Some of the film props – seen in this photo – are still standing and continue to draw tourists into the region. May the Fourth be with you!
