<p>The locations of the Star Wars movie look just incredible! It seems that this is either computer graphics or filming was made on another planet. However, many places from the main space saga in the world are not on other planets at all. Moreover, many who dream of going there can do it!</p><p><strong>Redwood National Park, California</strong></p><p><img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_135250582_L_1_1_865c99a097.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_135250582_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_135250582_L_1_1_865c99a097.jpg 234w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_135250582_L_1_1_865c99a097.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_135250582_L_1_1_865c99a097.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_135250582_L_1_1_865c99a097.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">Redwood National Park served as the location for the filming of the sixth episode of the Return of the Jedi saga, which took place in 1982. The American park looks so incredible that the directors decided that this is what the forested moon of Endor should look like in Star Wars. Huge redwoods grow in Redwood Park - one of the tallest and most ancient trees in the world. Until the 1850s, Native American tribes lived there.</p><p>The park is full of hiking trails. These days, walking through the park still feels like you're on set. This is especially true of the Avenue of the Giants - a scenic road that runs right through the forest.</p><p><strong>Phang Nga Bay, Thailand</strong></p><p><img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_153860170_L_1_1_0d5992a1f8.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_153860170_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_153860170_L_1_1_0d5992a1f8.jpg 245w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_153860170_L_1_1_0d5992a1f8.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_153860170_L_1_1_0d5992a1f8.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_153860170_L_1_1_0d5992a1f8.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">The fantastic planet Kashyyyk from Revenge of the Sith was filmed at this location. Phang Nga Bay is known for its limestone cliffs and is located near Phuket Town. This place looks simply bewitching! If you have the opportunity to visit it, then do it for sure! We are sure that you will remember this trip for a lifetime.</p><p><strong>Royal Palace of Caserta, Italy</strong></p><p><img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_272833716_L_1_c860b400b8.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_272833716_L (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_272833716_L_1_c860b400b8.jpg 245w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_272833716_L_1_c860b400b8.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_272833716_L_1_c860b400b8.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_272833716_L_1_c860b400b8.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">The most luxurious location in the first episode is the planet Naboo. The role of royal palace of Naboo is a palace in the Italian Caserta near Naples. The eminent architect of that time (18th century), Luigi Vanvitelli, was given the task of building a palace that would not be inferior to Versailles and the Royal Palace in Madrid.</p><p>If you happen to be in Naples, we advise you to visit the Royal Palace of Caserta and see for yourself how beautiful this place is. The best way to get from Naples to Caserta without a car is by bus, the journey takes 35 minutes. and will cost €1 - €7. The bus Napoli - Corso Meridionale - Caserta takes 35 minutes including transfers and departs from the station every hour.</p><p><strong>The Rub' al Khali desert</strong></p><p><img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_162723708_L_1_5b08eb0377.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_162723708_L (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_162723708_L_1_5b08eb0377.jpg 245w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_162723708_L_1_5b08eb0377.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_162723708_L_1_5b08eb0377.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_162723708_L_1_5b08eb0377.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">For the new part of the saga, director Jeffrey Jacob Abrams preferred the desert of the United Arab Emirates to Tunisia. The first scene that appears in the trailer, which takes place on the planet Jakku, was filmed here.</p><p>Travelers who dream of hiding from civilization can arrange a hike in the desert, but it is still better to contact a travel agency or join a large caravan. A more relaxed option is to stay at a Liwa oasis hotel near the filming location.</p><p><strong>Skellig Michael Island, Ireland</strong></p><p><img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_201749530_L_1_1_3473d52dc0.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_201749530_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_201749530_L_1_1_3473d52dc0.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_201749530_L_1_1_3473d52dc0.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_201749530_L_1_1_3473d52dc0.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_201749530_L_1_1_3473d52dc0.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><br>Filming of The Force Awakens also took place on the ruins of a 7th-century monastery located on the steep slopes of Skellig Michael Island. Although this place is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, it often scares away tourists, because it is located 12 km from the coast.</p>

The most picturesque places on the planet where Star Wars was filmed 

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Sea waters around the world hide ancient civilizations that amaze us with their greatness and mystique! Visiting one of them is a very interesting adventure! There are hundreds of sunken cities and settlements in the world, but we are only now beginning to discover what they can tell us about the prehistoric past of mankind.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Pavlopetri</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=462533824210652742" height="354" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Pavlopetri is the first underwater city discovered by archaeologists. Its area exceeds 30,000 square meters. The architectural remains of the prehistoric city, which are visible at a depth of about three meters, were discovered in 1904 by Fokion Negri. Scientists found a clear layout of streets and various buildings underwater. They remain in the same form in which they stood on land thousands of years ago. Incredible!</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The city's territory lived in 3500 BC, making it one of the oldest sunken cities in the world. The city reached its peak during the early Mycenaean period (15th century BC). This is confirmed by goblets found by archaeologists for drinking wine, vases for aromatic oils, decorated with floral ornaments, and even filters that were probably used to make some kind of drink.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>A mythical Pacific civilization</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=7529524352556844" height="356" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">It turns out that mystical pyramids exist not only on the surface of the Earth but also underwater! The Yonaguni Monument, located near the southern edge of the Ryukyu Archipelago, is one of the most mysterious underwater finds. In the 1980s, local scuba diver Kihachiro Aratake discovered a monolithic step pyramid made of stone on the sea floor, which had perfectly straight angles, huge steps, and columns. In the following years, other strange structures were found in this place.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Some researchers are convinced that these are the sunken remains of the mythical Pacific civilization of Mu. According to legend, the continent on which the civilization lived was washed away by a tsunami thousands of years ago.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Others believe that Yonaguni is a natural geological formation that arose as a result of tectonic activity. Be that as it may, travelers can decide for themselves by exploring the underwater mystery on their own. Underwater tours to this amazing place are offered by many local scuba diving clubs.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Ancient Chinese city</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=434597432790281517" height="354" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">An entire sunken city is under the waters of Fuxian Lake in Yunnan Province! In 2001, an underwater archaeological team began exploring the bottom of the lake and discovered many buildings, including eight pyramid-shaped structures. The buildings are spread over an area of 6.5 square kilometers and, according to scientists, are part of the ancient kingdom of Dian, which mysteriously ended up under the waters of the lake about 2,000 years ago. Residents claim that in calm weather they can see the ruins in the water of the lake.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Baia city, Italy</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=332844228712456027" height="401" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Several centuries ago the city went underwater as a result of volcanic activity. According to one version, even in the prehistoric era, hundreds of workshops worked here, and copies of priceless statues and other historical relics were made there.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>City of Port Royal, Jamaica</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=253186810290119466" height="395" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">The legendary pirate city of Port Royal has been the most important symbol of Jamaica for almost five hundred years. The city was founded in 1518 and for many years depravity and cruelty reigned here. In 1692, an earthquake occurred on the island, resulting in the pirate city being completely submerged. Today, its ruins lie at the bottom of Kingston Harbour.</p>
