Star Wars fanboys to restore Tatooine Homestead
Last year a bunch of Star Wars fanbois went on a pilgrimage to the Lars homestead on Tatooine - or rather the part of Tunisia in which George Lucas shot the movies.

Well, call me a Wookie and disable the tractor beam...
....35 years!!?
OMG, I remember going to the film premier in Australia.
1 or 4

I'd pay my own money to preserve this,...
just to stop George Lucas f**king around with it in the interests of "realising the original vision".
Might buy the book about how to get there.
