Luke Skywalker's House

in #photography8 years ago

Luke Skywalker's house from Star Wars is located in Matmata, Tunisia and it really hasn't changed in all these years. This place has been operating as a hotel since before the movie and they have managed to keep the set largely intact and for a small fee you can wander around and spend as much here as you want. If you like Star Wars even just a little bit then you definitely need to see this when you are in Tunisia.

Most people don't realize that Tatooine is actually a real place. A lot of scenes for the movie were shot around Tatooine so they decided to use it as the name for Luke's home planet.

If you want to compare what it was like then to what it is like now then here a link to a still from the movie
