Want to take the opportunity to not only visit an iconic Star Wars location and meet a GFFA legend, but do it on one of the most meaningful days in the entire Star Wars calendar? This could be the day you’ve been waiting for as Galaxy Tours announce their 25th – 30th March 2026 50th Anniversary Franchise Filming Group Tour with Roger Christian, which will see attendees arrive at the Lars Homestead on 29th March, the 50th anniversary of filming the binary sunset scene.
Galaxy Tours will run a once-in-a-lifetime group tour in Tunisia in 2026 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Star Wars franchise filming (1976) in the location where it all began. Davin Anderson (Galaxy Tours Creator/CEO/Co-Founder) will personally lead this historic tour, joined by Star Wars legend Roger Christian (A New Hope set decorator, Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace 2nd unit director, and creator of the original lightsaber and an assorted number of iconic props) as a special VIP guest.
Exploring real-world Tatooine hand-in-hand with Anderson/Christian, guests will enjoy unprecedented access to behind-the-scenes insights/expertise at all Star Wars locations in Tunisia. Star Wars-flavored conversations will extend to bus rides, shared meals, and leisure time at unique lodging venues in Djerba, Matmata, Tozeur, and Tunis. Lifelong connections among all guests will undoubtedly be made.
The date range for the tour is synchronized to produce one of the most immersive Star Wars tourism events ever scheduled. Guests will be surrounded by live symphonic players on the Chott el-Djerid salt flats to celebrate on-location the franchise-defining Lars Homestead sunset on 29 March 2026, the exact 50th anniversary filming date of Luke’s iconic binary sunset scene (29 March 1976). This uniquely emotional event will be followed by an unforgettable Star Wars cosplay party overlooking the renowned Corbeille oasis in Nefta.
Don’t miss your chance to join this must-do Star Wars fandom experience in Tunisia. This tour will sell out.
