tikal national park

from star wars: episode IV posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery

Tikal National Park in Guatemala is probably better known as Yavin 4, home to the Rebel Alliance's military base in Star Wars. This was my least favorite scene in Star Wars as a kid. I think it looked too Earth-like with all its trees, like the Millennium Falcon was just landing on Earth getting tagged by some idiot with a radar gun.
