Posts: 3367 Sat, Jan 9, 2010 11:08 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Tags : None Have you been to a Star Wars filming location or a place significant to the franchise or other Lucasfilm project? I know Bret's going to Tunisia in May so I look forward to hearing about his trip. I'm taking a short trip to San Francisco next month. I'll be hitting a lot of tourist spots and am hoping to fit at least one Star Wars one in the mix. Pin, my wife, is planning the itinerary, so I'll be lucky if I can make it to The Presidio or something. Anyone have any suggestions of destinations in Northern California that might make a good quick stop? -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

We definitely have plans to go to Muir Woods National Monument and Yosemite but I don't think we'll have time to head North. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3367 Sun, Jan 10, 2010 12:50 PM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Looks like the Presidio (home of the Letterman Digital Arts Center) is in the plan as well as a night in Modesto (Lucas's birthplace and inspiration for American Graffiti). We might also see a Miwok village (the likely inspiration for the name of Ewoks). I would never get these things approved by the wife if it weren't lucky happenstance. The cool thing is, so much of Northern California is tangentially related to Star Wars, it's going to be easy to see a lot of interesting things. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

We're going to make it to Muir Woods and Yosemite, but we don't have time to hit Redwoods (where the Speeder Bikes sped). -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

Posts: 3367 Thu, Aug 19, 2010 5:36 AM Administrator Orlando System President Orlando	Checking back in on this thread, I realized that the last two gatherings at Aaron's we've shown pictures from our trips. Mine was to San Francisco where I visited the OUTSIDE of Skywalker Ranch, Big Rock Ranch, and The Letterman Digital Arts Center. Since some of you are new to the group and have just met us since Celebration V, I wanted you to know about our other member's recent trip to Tunisia. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.

I understand fan sentiment about wanting to maintain the site, but I've seen Lucas over the years spend a ton of money on preserving the SW legacy. Why not make the pitch to him/the company to keep the homestead up?

I wonder if they've approached Lucasfilm. -Campbell Evans SWGFA Co-Founder \|o\| Orlando System President \|o\| SWGFA Blog Editor \|o\| SWGFA Chrono Keeper on Facebook \|o\| on Twitter \|o\| Trading Post \|o\| Rebelscum Trade Feedback Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon.
