An interesting Star Wars connection - Tatooine

From the London Daily Mail:

How Star Wars fans would trek to Berlin massacre suspect's hometown in Tunisia – until it became overrun by jihadists: Desert town of Tataouine was the backdrop to Luke Skywalker's home planet
Star Wars fans who once flocked to the Tunisian town of Tataouine - which was used as the model for Luke Skywalker's home planet Tatooine - have stayed stayed away in recent years due to the proximity of violent jihadists.

Now, another name can be added to those who have lived there - Anis Amri, prime suspect in the Berlin massacre which left 12 people dead and 48 others injured after a truck ploughed through a Christmas market on Monday.

Another interesting place turned into a ninth century hell-hole by islamists. I am sure the locals would rather have the tourists spending their money than the terrorists.
