Episode IV, A NEW HOME
During a period of social boom,
a small community arises.
They stand together
and share their laughter.
Once a peaceful and respected place,
is riddled now with questions.
Please excuse the poor attempt at poetry as I am even worse at poetry than a Vogon.
Ok question time. What piece of our country would you relate to which Star Wars world and
why ?
I have already posted a couple in he spam thread but lets start off from scratch and I'll see about updating this initial post with a list.
Hoth = Sutherland (
They get -15°C temps )
Tatooine = Upington (
Max recorded temp is 51.7 °C )
Kashyyyk = Knysna (it is just that awesome to be there.. it actually looks alike)
Spoiler (show ) Intel Core i7-2600k @ 3.4GHz
Corsair Vengence 2x4GB DDR3 2000MHz
Thermaltake Toughpower 850W
ASUS nVidia GTX560 1GB

The West Rand could be Mos Eisley because that place can be a little rough.
And the part of Mpumalanga with all the forests can be Endor because it is full of tall trees

Alderaan he said.

DBN = Alderaan
Knysna = Kashyyyk

On second thought this requires a thread of its own....
