Star Wars & Lucasfilm locations

Over the years I have visited many places that have a special connection with Star Wars, Indiana Jones and/or Lucasfilm.
Below is a compilation of some of these places. More will be added later!




Modesto: Birthplace of The Maker
The holy place. Modesto. Birthplace of George Lucas.
Modesto has honored George Lucas with George Lucas Plaza. A spot that's named after him and has a large bronze statue that refers to his movie American Graffiti. He grew up here and the streets of Modesto inspired him for this movie. I can surely say that when I walked these streets it really felt like the movie. A great moment for sure.







Death Valley: America's Tatooine

In Death Valley many scenes for Star Wars IV: A New Hope were filmed. R2-D2 rolled here, a Jawa Sandcrawler drove here, a Bantha walked here, a Landspeeder flew here and Mos Eisley's overview is also here.
Jabba's Palace road from Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi is also in Death Valley.

Indy in Disney theme parks

Disneyland (Anaheim, USA): Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Forbidden Eye. Wow. Unlike the ride in Disneyland Paris this isn't a rollercoaster but a really REALLY good ride. Truly one of the best rides anywhere.
