Journey to Tataouine(2017)
Back in 1995, I rediscovered the lost Star Wars desert filming locations in Tunisia. Here at last is a video telling the whole story.
Dr. David West Reynolds, archaeologist and a New York Times #1 best-selling Star Wars author, learned in 1995 that the original Star Wars filming locations used for Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine had become lost forever. Not even Lucasfilm, producers of the Star Wars movies knew where they were anymore. This documentary follows Dr. West Reynolds journey to Tunisia in search of the locations behind that made up the alien home world of Luke Skywalker.
