News that Ewan McGregor might show up here for filming of a Star Wars series based on the planet Tatooine has gotten local folks to wondering why Boston and the accommodations needed for our local mores:

If they were looking to film something set in a city that looks nothing like Boston, Seaport District would be the place to do it.

Well, Beacon Hill will fill in nicely as the "wretched hive of scum and villainy". Right, @MassGovernor?

All I know is that there'd better be a hologram of Mayor Menino as yoda:

Re: Not here
Boston, England will be the shooting location. I would have loved it here, but c'mon.
Just as well
Tatooine is generally considered the @ss end of space. Not sure Boston needs that reputation.
Ewan McGregor in Boston MA?!
Adam, do not get my hopes up if it is not Boston MA. D :
Confirmation
WBZ reports that, yes, filming will be in Boston, England a town best known for a church called Boston Stump, which, on a clear day, can be seen all the way from Norfolk (England, that is).
The Fours is gone, khed
Magoo sez
Magoo is so eggcited about this. When Magoo and Ms. Magoo are feeling frisky, We will pretend that Magoo is Jabba the Magoo and Ms. Magoo is Princess Leia and explore the scenes Mr. Lucas didn’t show at Jabba’s palace in Return of the Jedi. Magoo.
Star Wars is trash
I’ve never seen it, but still, it’s trash.
Star Wars was once a great original concept
that greedy Hollywood executives decided to turn into an unoriginal overhyped and overbloated franchise.
Eps I-III are trash. I have enjoyed nearly everything
else, though I haven't seen Clone Wars or the Ewok series. (I was a little disappointed by Rise of Skywalker, and Solo kinda sucked.) I have viewed a bootleg VHS of the notorious Xmas special, which was one of those steaming piles that's so bad it's good.
The original was an absolute mindbender in its day. I had to sit at the front on the floor at the Pi Alley the weekend it came out. Me and my brothers decided to stay to watch it a second time, and got seats.
Re: Pi Alley
Pi Alley was great for genre movies. Beacon Hill for B or C movies.
Now if they can only get Ben Affleck to guest star
He could evade Imperial storm troopers by flying the Millennium Falcon around the North End and Charlestown - and he could brag about doing the packie run in 12 parsecs (thought via Jim LaPorta).
