ST Earthly Locations that You Think Would be Perfect for one of the New Star Wars films!

You used photoshop for these are some other similar program???

 

Photoshop. Terrain is from is from western Norway i believe.

 

Of course, we all know where Anakin and Padme spent their honeymoon:

 

@ Alien Vanguard - nice photoshop work on that last image.

 

So Echo I'm just gonna be brutally honest here, but Tasmania has pretty much nothing "other worldly" going for it from those pictures you showed. Aside form the awesome cliffs, half of those look like someplace I've seen in my own life, and I live in North Carolina, U.S.A.

 

Thanks for that feedback. It is hard to tell when you live in a place if it is "exotic" enough. Cheers.

 

Eh, one man's "otherworldly" is another man's home and vice versa.

I'm not sure why Star Wars planets need to be "otherworldly" in the first place. I think the point, at least of the OT, is that the planets are very familiar to us. They play on our real world and pop culture associations. Tatooine resembles the desolate, uninhabitable deserts of Africa/the Middle East/the American Southwest and plays with imagery from desert films like Lawrence of Arabia and various Westerns to evoke feelings of desolation and lawlessness. Hoth is equally uninhabitable, like Antarctica. Endor is Northern California for god's sake, and the Ewok culture blatantly resembles Earthly native cultures we're familiar with. It really isn't until ROTS that we get weird, otherworldly planets, and I think the point in that film is to show that the Clone Wars were happening throughout the galaxy. I think whatever planets we see in the ST will probably be closer to the OT: familiar locations with deliberate, specific associations that serve the story.

 

Here's an incredible natural sight from Lake Minnewanka in Alberta, Canada. It's hard to believe this is actually real. This natural artwork is made by methane bubbles getting trapped under layers of clear ice.

 

SOUTH BRONX NY



OR HOW ABOUT WHERE I WAS BORN AND LIVED SIX AND A HALF YEARS OF MY EARLY LIFE, GREAT KILLS STATEN ISLAND NY,

 

Staten Island, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.

 

Well I do Like The Dark Side, The Sopranos, and my dad Is Italian and Sicilian....

 

I like turtles

 

Tell me you couldn't easily picture a few Star Wars ships landing here...

 

Mono Lake, California:

 

Bungle Bungles, Western Australia.

 

Dallol Volcano (Ethiopia) would be interesting;







And even when it is of our own doing, the burning crater (or the door to hell) in Turkmenistan's Karakum desert;

 

My dude. I'm a former Staten Islander too.

 

Chorus, what countries are these locations from?

WOW!!!!

 

The Bangladesh ship breakers.

A bay in Bangladesh where old ships are brought to be dismantled for scrap.
It's all very toxic and dangerous and low tech.

 

Thanks, but if it turns out to be too much of a hassle certainly don't worry about it.

 

Good lord... Some of these pictures are amazing! We do not NEED cgi locations with these gems

 

brother from another mother !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
