The full sandcrawler set on the salt flats of Tunisia. The mound in the bottom left corner, which is the edge of the hole-in-the-ground, is just a mound though, there is no hole in the ground, that was shot at a different location altogether. PS: A storm tore this set apart. View high resolution

I’ve got nothing… But The Making of Star Wars does (p156), which you should own if you’re reading this I might add. The Sandcrawler set, as seen here anyway - it was later moved to a canyon - was placed near the border between Tunisia and Libya, and had to be inspected by the Libyan army, who suspected it to be part of a military mobilization. The set itself only reached a couple of meters above frame, as you can see in this photo. Also it cost $128.000 anno 1976. PS: No wonder ‘red’ blew a casket, check out that guy pulling all the wires out of him! View high resolution
