Yeah I just saw those. Thats like taking the ultimate road trip right there. It must be so surreal to be there in person. I wouldn't help but be able to run through some Luke line while I was there and stare wistfully into the sunset at the very least call out for Luke three times and then ask if any one has seen him. I understand the krayt dragon fossil is still in the desert too and you can walk right up to it too.

There was also a campaign to save and restore the original sets in Tunisia, as their condition had deteriorated so much over the decades.

One would think these artifacts would be preserved for future generarations to see, instead of rotting in the desert.

Yeah, that's Mark Dermul, Belgium's go-to guy for autographs. He has just about everyone's autograph (including some like "played a background stormtrooper in ESB"). He worked on a campaign to preserve the Lars Homestead, selling "genuine Tatooine sand". Ahum...
