And this isn't even the best.

Just learned yesterday they almost caused an international incident filming in Tunisia. Libya almost declared war, since the Jawa sandcrawler was practically made... with military vehicles.

Matters reached high intensity when Libyan made a demand that Tunisia immediately cease its provocative deployment of a massive military vehicle near the border. Gaddafi warned that conflict was inevitable if Tunisia did not comply with his demands at once.

I'm not gonna link a source for that quote because they were all just endless link-circlejerks to other equally bad websites.

There was a Yt short with Lucas talking about that bit as well, but here's him talking about them having the military help them and have all sorts of tracked vehicles as well because the trucks were stuck https://youtube.com/shorts/CPG2fSoM9HE?

Didn't they also almost get in trouble with Hollywood for filming out of the country? There was some sort of guild issue at the time trying to boost in country filming
