Star Wars in State Parks!

If you’re like us, you’re pretty excited for the premier of the new Star Wars movie. If you’re re-watching some of the old films to prepare, pay special attention to the scene in Endor. Or, even easier, take a look at this clip: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wSG3m4VNlo?rel=0]   Look familiar? Kind of like some California redwoods you may know? In fact, those are California redwoods! Parts of Return of the Jedi were filmed in California state parks. The scenery for the Imperial speeders chase above was filmed in our very own Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park. Other location scenes were filmed in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park and Patrick’s Point State Park. Pretty cool! Here are some other Star Wars locations you can experience for yourself from our friends over at Weekend Sherpa.  Enjoy your Star Wars experience in the theater AND in the parks.
