THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: TATOOINE TOUCHDOWN


The hyperdrive damaged Naboo Royal Cruiser touches down on the outskirts of Tatooine's Mos Espa city. A new adventure awaits our heroes as they search for replacement hyperdrive- a search within a hostile wilderness, with an also hostile populace of sorts.

In the wilderness, and in the company of a Bantha colony, as seen in the first EPISODE I trailer of 1998.

A classy effects shot containing model miniatures, miniature background and an exterior plate shot in Tunisia in 1997.

The model as seen on the roof of the ILM building in 1998.

The main ramp would also be built as a scaffold set at Tunisia for live action filming matched with the model.
