Saving Luke's 'Star Wars' home in Tatooine (pictures)

I guess someone wasn't loved when they were a kid so now they feel the need to destroy everything around them. You say get a life, I say get a psychiatrist and let go the anger.

The way that you said it.

Here they are spending their own Money or at least money that they raised to do this with so the people who donated wanted to spend their money on things like this. The fact that it gave some contractors work for a few days is a small side benefit.

However if it was the Government Spending Tax Payers Money your complaint would have been fine. It gets a lot more difficult when someone wants to set themselves up and tell others how they should behave and what they should spend their money on.

Personally I wouldn't be involved in contributing to things like this but by the same token I would never deride anyone who wanted to do something like this either.

Tunisia is not exactly the richest country in the world. A 'Star Wars' trek to the movie location would be a small but useful draw to get folks into the country. I'd hate to see it get like the pyramids with all the surrounding commercialism, but hey, what a bit of fun. Perhaps this will get the ball rolling.

Your residual Force eminations had me thinking the exact same thing.

What? These aren't the Droids we're looking for?

I have been there , to Matmata and the hotel etc.

Its all quite disapointing for a Star wars fan , they left nothing behind when they finished filming , the huts and buildings are people homes/businesses so were there anyway.

The locals all wear heavy brown cloth cloaks to keep cool in the sun , they often have their hoods up - I realised that Lucas must have liked this and decided to use them for the Jawa.

A very interesting country to visit , really glad I went , I actually stumbled across Matmata whilst on a safari, but I wouldnt go there specifically for Star wars stuff.
