The desert planet where the story begins, the canyon the Jawas trap R2-D2 in, the ridge C-3PO staggers along, the overlook onto the spaceport, is Death Valley, the lowest and hottest place in North America, doubling for a world with two suns. The exact spots are marked on hikers' maps now, dune and wash, a galaxy far away just off the road.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
Location: documented spot
