32 Star Wars Filming Locations You Can Visit

Star Wars fans don’t have to travel to a galaxy far, far away to experience the franchise’s alien worlds. There are plenty of Star Wars filming locations right here on Earth waiting to be explored. While CGI and new virtual technology has inevitably played a large role in creating the fantastical sets, particularly in more recent stories like The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi, the filmmakers found plenty of otherworldly landscapes to stand in for the different planets in the fictional universe. The latest addition to the franchise, Andor, was primarily filmed in England, both on soundstages and on transformed real-world locations in places like Buckinghamshire and Dorset. The series plays on a long history of Star Wars productions traveling to far-off destinations to imagine fantastical planets.

Adventurous travelers can head for the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East, the filming sites for the sandy planets and moons of Tatooine, Jakku, and Jedha. For those seeking stunning architecture, consider the palaces and villas throughout Italy and Spain that were used for the land of Naboo. The popular vacation spot of Dubrovnik, Croatia, served as a stand-in for the casino town Canto Bight in The Last Jedi. Below, we’ve rounded up 32 filming locations to which all die-hard Star Wars fans should pilgrimage at least once. May the Force be with you on your travels.
