Princess Leia is captured and held hostage by the evil Imperial forces in their effort to take over the galactic Empire. Venturesome Luke Skywalker and dashing captain Han Solo team together with the loveable robot duo R2-D2 and C-3PO to rescue the beautiful princess and restore peace and justice in the Empire.

Binary sunset
Luke looks out from the dome toward the twin suns. The moisture-farm pits around the igloo were dug for the shoot; the dining room is in Matmata.

Jundland Wastes
Jawas zap R2, Tuskens ambush Luke, and Obi-Wan appears. The Mos Eisley overlook in the cut is a matte; this gorge is the canyon they walk.

Lars homestead dining room
Luke argues about Tosche Station and watches Leia's hologram in this pit. Aunt Beru's kitchen was a London set; the dining cave is this hotel.

Mos Eisley cantina
Luke and Ben park the landspeeder, pass the checkpoint ('these are not the droids'), and enter the cantina. The interior was Elstree; this plaza is the street.

Obi-Wan's house
The landspeeder pulls up to Old Ben's hut. Only the 1977 cut uses this mosque; later versions swapped in a miniature.

Yavin 4 rebel base
The camera looks out from Temple IV across the jungle to the other temples as the Rebel fleet prepares to leave. Climb the wooden stairs to the comb; that is the frame.
