#8: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace
Set Piece: Tatooine
Location: Tozeur, Tunisia
Production Budget: $115 million*
Featuring big names like Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Ewan McGregor, and Liam Neeson, this part of the Star Wars saga follows the Trade Federation causing trouble on Naboo, sending the Jedi on a mission to sort things out. The leftover set is in North Africa, near Nefta, where you can still see Luke’s home and other cool buildings. It’s like stepping onto Tatooine for real!
Star Wars always nails the costumes, right? The ones in The Phantom Menace were no exception. They perfectly matched the characters’ environments: gray, brown, and black for Coruscant, green and gold for Naboo, and sandy shades for Tattooine.
