I take it that learning to read wasn't part of your course, Spike

I was thinking of trying to find "equivalent" locations in the UK to mirror locations from the original trilogy for filming purposes.
Any ideas?

That's easy!
Ealry Learning Centre, 3 bags of sand - go minature!!
Seriously though, Ya got me thinking. Certainly there are sand dunes (licnolnshire coast, North Wales, snow (er Scotland!) and woods (everywhere!) I wonder how easy it would be to create SW in the UK?
But I'm still going to FIND THE FORCE!!!!!

what a coincidence,as me and the groovers were considering a trip to tunisia for next eyar,but decided against it cos it's for the most part a ****-hole of a destination,lol.
i was really up for going,and had convinced the wife and a few pals who'd been previously,but now having reviewed the hard evidence,it seems likely that we'll give it a miss next year... or maybe not,lol.
last year we did death valley... i have here in my hand a big bag of sand from artoos dunes at stovepipe wells,and some awesome photos from the road to jabbas palace,which was mindblowing...even my wife was stunned by how instantly recognisable it is,nearly thirty years later...the dantes view overlook,aka mos eisley overlook is a heart-pounding walk along a ridge but an awesome view once there! the same for the tusken raider canyon where they shot the elephant as the bantha... we never found the trail that artoo pootles along but may have driven past it,without realising,lol.
death valley was simply awesome,
i want to go to tunisia now.
in november we're going to california and will be visiting the redwoods,and attempting to break into the lucasfilm art department at the ranch.
they'll never take me alive,
