Mos Espa

This building did not even have an inside. The whole "town" was just three small streets, two intersections, and about 20 or so empty shell buildings.

And a lot of sand.

And a lot of souvenir stalls.

The buildings are all fake, but holding up surprisingly well in the desert winds, considering they were built for Star Wars Episode 4.

The exterior of the Star Wars Lars Homestead. Just out there, on the salt flat. Follow the tracks left by other vehicles trekking out here. There was one unattended souvenir stall, with a plate of money, working on an honesty system.

More Star Wars

While many of the old structures are bare and open, many are converted to rooms of varying levels of comfort.

We watched the scene from Star Wars Episode 4, A New Hope. Just to familiarise ourselves with the scene, again. And then in the morning, worked out this is where Luke peers down to his aunt.

This hotel in Matmata, Tunisisa, was the filming location for Star Wars, episode 4. It was used for inside shots of the Lars Homestead, Luke's uncle and aunt.

We stayed at Hotel Sidi Idriss, Matmata. Each room in the hotel was named after a character from Star Wars, or a significant name associated with the franchise.

In actual fact, the hotel was already a hotel when chosen to be used in filming. A Berber village, and troglodyte cave structure, it would have been a fascinating stay, even without any movie association.
