This section of the site was inspired by Star Wars Insider #48. This Insider featured an
article by archaeologist David West Reynolds on the locations used for shooting some of the
second unit pick up shots in Death Valley, CA. The article was very thorough with directions
and pictures from most of the major locations. SWFans staff member Brandon Alinger recently made
the trip to CA all the way from MD, and there are a few locations not covered in the article
which we have shown here. We suggest you order this issue of the Insider and read the whole article
for yourself. The SW Road Trip article also suggests many other Star Wars related destinations in
California, such as ILM headquarters, etc. After looking through this section of the site, we think
you'll be as excited as we were to learn that you can actually visit many of the original Tatooine
locations without ever needing a passport! Stay tuned next summer for when swfans makes the trips to
the locations in Tunisia!
