Abandoned Star Wars Sets
Our friend Shawn, over at Nerdgasms.net, sent along a link to these cool photos of abandoned Star Wars sets in Tunisia.
It’s interesting to think that these sets are just sitting in the desert but there have been fans that, over the past several years, have journeyed to Tunisia and other shooting locations to track down relics from the movie shoots. As recently as Celebration IV in 2007, several collectors journeyed to Buttercup Valley in Southern California and uncovered discarded set pieces from the filming of Jabba’s Sail Barge.
Gus Lopez and his wife, Pam Green, have traveled to multiple filming locations and documented their journeys on The Star Wars Traveler section of The Star Wars Collectors Archive.
And we can’t forget about Mark Dermul, who went as far as raising funds and restoring the Lars homestead filming location.
