    It's really funny when you think about it. Nearly all movie planets are actually real places on Earth, from Tatooine (Tunisia) to Endor (Washington IIRC).

    Even funnier, a lot of low-budget alien planets (especially the rocky sceneries) are found within a 30 mi radius of Hollywood or whatever the actor guild considers a long distance shoot.

    Like that sand pit that are basically all planets on SG1, it's amazing what a little set dressing and different camera positions do to make a new location with the help of an audience willing to suspend their disbelief.
