[QUOTE="TK-7785, post: 512138, member: 8868"] And then there's Endor! This place, actually Owen Cheatham Redwood Grove near Eureka, CA, is breathtaking the scale of these trees is like nothing else. I guess that's why old smarty pants Lucas chose the location. :lol: Pictures can't and don't do it justice. Given that Jedi is my favourite of all the films and the Endor battle sequences my favourite within that, this place is like Graceland to me. :lol: Whilst there I wanted to try and hunt down some of the specific locations that the SPFX crew filmed back in '82 to create the backplate footage for the Speeder Bike chase sequence.Obviously a lot has changed since then, nature has a funny habit of changing landscapes over time, but enough of the iconic shots were still recognisable to be able to try and match them up to stills I took with me. So here is a sample of what i managed to capture along with some then and now movie comparison shots.
