Fan restores Lars Homestead domed entrance

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 :)

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! :)
 
Re: Luke Skywalkers home on Tatooine gets redone

Been there a few years ago and it was in pretty bad shape, so it's great it's getting the love it deserves :)
 
Re: Luke Skywalkers home on Tatooine gets redone

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.
 
The Mos Espa set in Oung Jmel is about to be buried by a dune.
In a couple of years, it will have to be dug up if someone wants to see it. It too, will be in need of restoration once it has been dug up, or the dune has receded naturally. (if anyone is still interested by then, that is ...)

Silly of Lucasfilm to build a city in the Dune Sea ...
Anyway, this is just an exterior set built by Lucasfilm. Several previously existing buildings were also used for Mos Espa, and they are not threatened.
