The Star Wars films take place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. But, in reality, every movie was filmed right here on Earth! And while it might seem like most of the movies are very elaborately built sets, there are quite a lot of real world locations that were chosen to represent the distant planets such as Tatooine and Hoth. In this episode, Hunter and Geoff run through the first two original movies to see where places were filmed and how the crew managed to make Earth feel so alien.
