Hola, iam Elizabeth Foss, Today will be the best!
Ah, Star Wars! Who doesn’t love the iconic films that have been around since 1977? Filming for the original trilogy began in Tunisia and England, with some of the most memorable scenes being shot in Death Valley and Yuma Desert. From there, production moved to Elstree Studios in London where sets were built and special effects were added. It’s no wonder why these movies are so beloved - they were filmed with such care and attention to detail!

The prequel trilogy was filmed mainly in Australia. And more recently, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One were both shot in the UK. Wow! Who knew?
