Not quite Star Wars, but in the 1960s the Apollo astronauts came to my home state to practice walking on the "moon". Here's an article that commemorates their visit: https://ktxs.com/news/offbeat/apollo-astronauts-walked-on-oregon-lava-before-setting-foot-on-the-moon

As travel inspo for those who might want to stay stateside this year, Central Oregon is a wonderful place to visit with more than moon rocks on offer - volcanoes! Beer! Rafting! We have several forum members who live there and I'm sure would be happy to assist in your travel planning. :)

CL, we will be camping in Sisters in July for the annual Quilt Show, as well as on the coast in Waldport. We love the Bend area.

I'm sorry, but 5/4 is actually Dave Brubeck Day.

"I'm sorry, but 5/4 is actually Dave Brubeck Day."

I'm sorry, but I celebrate that on 9/8.

edit:

And for those not playing along at home, "5/4" is the time signature of the "most famous Jazz tune", Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". Personally, I prefer the 9/8 time signature of his "Blue Rondo ala Turk".

[snip]

In the United States, May 4 is informally observed as "Dave Brubeck Day". In the format most commonly used in the U.S., May 4 is written "5/4", recalling the time signature of "Take Five", Brubeck's best-known recording.[55]
