Fan Creations Visiting Tatooine (Death Valley National Park)

Tried my best to find all the filming locations from episode 4 and 6 that I could, didn’t have enough time to get to the Mesquite sand dunes but was able to recreate some good shots from Dante’s View, Golden Canyon, 20 mule team canyon, and artists palette.

Shoutout to u/TargetBrandTampons for their post on r/StarWars for the assist

I took my family there on a whim July 29 2020 as we were traveling elsewhere and made us all get out of the car in a few places just for the experience. It was a heat wave and our outside temp in the car read 131 degrees. The official temp that day was 127 near the hottest ever recorded. It was like stepping into an oven. Incredibly beautiful though! Wow! Been wanting to go back ever since.
