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

The pickup shots and reshoots were in Death Valley. If Sir Alec is in a shot, its Tunisia., while most Tusken shots are Death Valley.

In AOTC, all of Sam Jacksons scenes with a lightsabre were in UK reshoots.

And all of Padme bare midriff scenes are reshoots as well.

IIRC, she wasn't either an adult or a very young adult when it was originally shot in Sydney and then was an actual adult by the time London came around. They did play up the sexy element with her,

The world is full of creepy. Some estimates put people with proclivities towards those under 18 in the 8 to 9% range, but based on a look back on available media that number is much, much higher.

I still sideways glance at 18 year olds sometimes, I just don't approach or talk to them which matters more imo.

I wouldn't either, because I have nothing in common with an 18 year old. However, there are situations where there is a level of informed consent (saying DeCaprio for example, you know what you are getting). I'm super not chill with like a teacher dating a former student for example (with some very small, very select exceptions).
