The set used in Tunisia during filming. From Wookieepedia: The domed Lars homestead was left to decay after filming finished on the original Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, in 1976. The crater remained unchanged over the years and helped pinpoint the exact site location for a new dome construction on Attack of the Clones in 2000. Movie-magic deceives the viewer into thinking the dome, crater and inner courtyard are at the same location. The dome and crater-rims reside at Nefta, while the courtyard is at the Sidi Driss Hotel in Matmata, 249 km away. In 2012, the homestead site was saved and restored by the efforts of Mark Dermul, who raised 11,700 dollars from fans around the world, via a Facebook group.
