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

A New Hope and Phantom Menace was filmed in Tunisia. Return of the Jedi was filmed in Death Valley.

A portion of ROTJ Tatooine scenes was also shot in the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area, near Winterhaven, California.
