"A source says Star Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams and Disney are planning to build out an extensive re-creation of Tatooine, the desolate home planet of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, in a Morocco-like environment (the original was built in Tunisia)." - hollywoodreporter.com

Over the past few weeks, Star Wars VII news has finally started to trickle out. Not much, but something. We got a bit of casting news with Peter Mayhew returning to play 'Chewbacca,' and producer Alan Horn confirmed that 2nd unit filming has already taken place. And today, a source for the ever-reliable Hollywood Reporter says Tatooine sets are being built. Sound familiar? It should. At the beginning of the month a source for Badass Digest informed them Star Wars VII would film some scenes in Morocco. That info lead Badass Digest to speculate that abandoned Tatooine sets in that area would be reused.

They want to go back to where it all began. I don't see a problem with this. Let's just not do it for episodes 8 & 9 too.

I can't wait to say "I don't know who that is." when they start announcing the cast.

Whenever they go to that desert planet it is always boring and drawn out.

Tatooine is a staple of Star Wars. Also, it would make sense if the rumor about this being about Luke's child is true.

It would make sense for Luke to take his child to the planet where the Skywalker line is from.

While I agree with u, (Empire and Sith are my favs, too), but the final scene of Sith is on Tatooine.

"Tatooine:"

"Tattoo:"


Thanks! I'm still laughing!

The crew on SW VII must wake up every morning with goosebumps. Last night in a hotel lobby I discussed with old friends the fact that actual sets will be reconstructed for this film. Starting to get a little excited myself.

It may only be for just a few scenes, but yes I too would love "Big New Practical" to be welcomed in any capacity on this.., and sounds like it is.

I'm guessing it was an alien chupacabra with a severe eczema problem and a tendency to "probe where the stars don't shine". Good to see ya, man.

Nomi- Haha, I mean, I personally don't mind 'em. I've got two so far (they're pretty small), my girlfriend's got three (they're tiny)..

I dunno, probably get another one soon. I'm random like that.
