THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: WATTO'S WORLD OF JUNK WONDERS!


Outdoors within Watto's diverse tech and vessel backlot, Qui-Gon and the flying junk dealer barter over the latter's rare T-49 generator, in a scene presumably filmed at the Mos Espa set in Tunisia, and whose junk verite includes (behind them) one of the starship Discovery's pod vessels from 2001: A Space Odyssey- a fond visual link/ 'easter egg' to one of the most important sci-fi movies of all time, and a classic which had been an inspiration for Lucas in making the original Star Wars back in 1976.

The 2001 movie's Discovery pod as seen on location in Tunisia.
