Tunisian “Star Wars” set is inhabited by locals January 14, 2007

Just saw this story . Apparently the set of Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope is actually now home to local (albeit very poor) Tunisians.
So even though Anakin,Luke and Lucas left Tatooine , Tatooine (nee Tunisia) still exists. Don’t know about you but if I could, i’d book a night. Imagine…staying in the same ‘home’ as Luke (yes I know it was Mark Hammel but still)..wouldn’t that be cool?
Then again considering that the set is more than 30 years old and in the middle of a desert, i suspect that Luke’s home is anything but ‘cool’.
