    Pretty cool.

    It's all well and good until some Stormtroopers come by and wreck up the place.

    I dunno, those blast points look far too accurate for Stormtroopers.

    A good friend of mine terry Cooper was one of the four people responsible for that. Unfortunately the media has messed up the story in a fair few of the articles printed but here is the groups page

    They'd better have those units in the South Ridge repaired by midday, or there'll be hell to pay.

    Jun 21, 2012 - Luke Skywalkers home on Tatooine gets redone #9

    Found this article on FaceBook, pretty cool looks like a group of SW fans from all over the world got together and went to the dessert in Tunisia and put Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru house back together like it was in the filming.

    That's an awesome contribution to keeping the practical locations of Star Wars alive, at least a little bit longer. They need to weather it , though!

    That must have been a such a thrill to see the original homestead!

    Or maybe Lucasfilm will speed things up and take care of it when they start filming Episode VII...

    Been there a few years ago and it was in pretty bad shape, so it's great it's getting the love it deserves

    Well, appreciate the effort... but I do not like having this one restored in any way. It should have been preserved instead of restored. For me... all the magic has been wiped away. Especially when you look on the "before" and "after" pictures. It feel like someone painted over the Mona Lisa cause of the colors started to fade and the oil paint began to crumble.
