Star Wars fans around the world are up in arms today after several reports claim the Tunisian town of Tataouine, where George Lucas shot a crucial scene in the first movie, is now being overrun by terrorist group ISIS.
In the film, the location is known as the planet Tatooine, Luke Skywalker's home. Fans have always paid pilgrimages to the place and even asked for the planet to be reintroduced in future Star Wars projects in the coming years.
According to reports, ISIS is using Tataouine as a waypoint to travel to and from Libya. The ones who make this journey are said to be fighters who visit Libya for training, then return through the town again to head east to join their brethren in Syria.
