A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

Post by RuadRauFlessa »

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)

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.
RRF wrote:Pretoria = Coruscant (which makes the union building the Senate)
DBN = Alderaan
Knysna = Kashyyyk
Upington = Tatooine (Max recorded temp is 51.7 °C)
Sutherland = Hoth (They get -15°C temps)

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

I won't consider even naming that place with a planet... I can however associate it with the rear end of a Bantha

....and that is being uncharitable towards the noble and sorely misunderstood Bantha.
