Visits of places where some scenes of Star Wars have been shot:

1 - Stormtrooper checkpoint: Control of Ben and Luke by stormtroopers ("These are not the droids you are looking for."); the place is very difficult to recognize, because of the change of scenery at the time by the film crew

2 - The Cantina of Chalmun:

As above, the place is hardly recognizable, especially as the building (a traditional Berber bakery) is in a state of disrepair more or less advanced. In addition, it is (was?) Also threatened with extinction to build modern buildings, which had also given rise to an international movement to safeguard it.

3 - Flight of the Millennium Falcon:

The driveway is a few blocks south of the "stormtrooper checkpoint" and is quite difficult to find, but more easily recognizable.

4 - (House of Ben - Episode IV)

3 km north of Ajim, on the coastal road to Sidi Jemour, is the old fisherman's house which was used to film, in April 1976, the house of Ben Kenobi during his exile on Tatooine. It has become a hotspot for "pilgrimage", and is therefore regularly maintained.

Visits of places where some scenes of Star Wars have been shot:
- Anchorhead ("Toshi station"):

This cut scene is in fact made up of 2: that of the station Toshi, and that between Luke and Biggs. You can find them here.

- The arrival at Mos Eisley:

Note that this scene, like many of Mos Eisley, has undergone many changes as the Trilogy evolutions (Special Edition and DVD)
