@dexerto: A Star Wars fan recently tracked down exact A New Hope filming locations in Death Valley, focusing on Dante’s View, the Great Canyon, and the 20 Mule Team Canyon. These sites were used to expand the desert world of Tatooine, seamlessly edited alongside Tunisia footage. Dante’s View provided the sweeping overlook where Obi‑Wan points out Mos Eisley to Luke, while the Great Canyon was used for shots of the Jundland Wastes, adding scale to the Jawas’ and Tusken Raiders’ territory. The 20 Mule Team Canyon offered rugged terrain for additional desert sequences, its jagged rock formations blending perfectly with the alien aesthetic George Lucas envisioned. 📷: U/JJ-Bittenbinder #StarWars #starwarsfan #starwarstok

that can't be true because Star Wars was filmed in a galaxy far far away

Y’all, the original was shot in Tunisia and England. The first shot in this pic is from Return of the Jedi which WAS filmed in the U.S.

Slide 5/7 did a giant rock fall, obscuring the cave opening or did they edit that closer rock out to show the cave and add the eyes?

Human life is short. The only big difference I saw is the rock fell on the jawa.
