TK-4261 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Hey Troops! A few of us from the So Cal Garrison went down to Buttercup Valley Dunes where they filmed and blew up Jabba"s Sail Barge scene this past Sat. It was so cool to be there and I didn't even know it was only 3 & 1 1/2 hours away from me. We got there around 8am and suited up to take pics before it got to hot. Then we went to the site where they blew up the sail barge. There are still pieces of the barge and the Sarlac pit all over. I found a few small pieces of wood from the front of the barge and it still had some of the metallic paint on it. and found quite a few pieces of foam from the Sarlac pit. It was a great experience. Here are some photos and the begining of my Heavy Weapons Trooper (still need backpack and ammo pouches) One guy felt a little out of place Edited July 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiepilot1138[TK] Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Awesome experience! Nice pics and suit. Where is this place? I'd love to visit it sometime. Is there anything special you need to do to get out there? Is it private property? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
