When Star Wars almost Caused a War in Libya

Описание: In 1976, the first Star Wars movie was being filmed in the North African country Tunisia, which happens to be neighbors with Libya, one of the most on-edge countries on the planet at that time. The hot-tempered Muammar Gaddafi, still in his heyday back then, did not take kindly to the Sandcrawlers that he believed were rolling towards his border. Little did he know that the Jawas are an exuberant but non-confrontational species, more concerned with scavenging the desert than attacking the Libyan Arab Republic.
