GALACTIC BACKPACKING, PART 6: VISITING REAL-WORLD CORUSCANT AND MORE

Via Starwas.com:

Ever since the original Star Wars was released in 1977, fans have always been dreaming about living in that galaxy far, far away. While that may be just a little difficult, there are still the real-world locations that served as various worlds during filming, and they can be visited. In Galactic Backpacking, we explore these locations by country, looking at their histories and current attractions.

In A New Hope, Luke told C-3PO and R2-D2 that Tatooine is the planet that is farthest from the bright center to the universe. When we saw this bright center inThe Phantom Menace we saw the big sprawling city world of Coruscant. Along with many other scenes throughout the saga that consisted of sets, Coruscant was filmed entirely in studios. Most of these studios stood in the United Kingdom, making the UK in many ways the real bright center of the Star Wars Universe and the location of the heart behind the movies. Production returned to the UK earlier this year to shoot Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the Pinewood Studios.
