Star Warsologies 81: SDCC panel “Star Wars Tourism: Visiting the Galaxy Far, Far Away on Earth”
In this episode of Star Warsologies, we share our panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2026 “Star Wars Tourism: Visiting a Galaxy Far, Far Away on Earth!”
For this fun panel, held in the Star Wars room on Friday of SDCC, we were joined by SDSU professor Jake Rowlett. It was a great discussion of the filming sites we’ve been to, along with fun pictures (and even a video!), plus James sharing how much work he’s done to find some of these places around the world. We recommend checking out the YouTube video linked below for this episode, there’s lots of great visuals. Hopefully this inspires you to make your own Star Wars-themed vacation plans!
