(CNN) — There is a great disturbance in the force: We have reached the conclusion of the 9-episode “Star Wars” movie franchise.
From a desert trek on Jedha to dinner at Luke Skywalker’s childhood home, here are some of the real-world destinations where “Star Wars” comes to life:
Wadi Rum, Jordan

Another “Star Wars” film, another desert country pressed into service.
Welcome to Wadi Rum, Jordan, the russet sandy locale that serves as a backdrop in the final “Star Wars” movie, “The Rise of Skywalker.” This dramatic landscape in the country’s south, also called The Valley of the Moon, stood in for the moon of Jedha in “Rogue One.”
Wadi Rum is a frequent location for otherworldly film shoots. It doubled for Mars and hosted a profane Matt Damon in “The Martian.”
Puzzlewood, Gloucestershire, England
Puzzlewood in the west of England has been used as the back drop to many movies and TV shows, but none as famous as “Star Wars.”
Meandering paths. Mossy rocks. Twisted trees and gulleys. No wonder Puzzlewood, which sits in the Forest of Dean not too far from Wales, is such a draw.
And not just for “Star Wars.” You’ve also seen it in “Merlin,” “Doctor Who” and other TV and film productions. But it’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” that’s really put Puzzlewood on the travel map.
It’s here, as battle rages in the surrounding forests of Takodana, that Rey first encounters her nemesis Kylo Ren.
Hotel Sidi Driss, Matmata, Tunisia
Built centuries ago by indigenous Berbers, this subterranean cave homes were converted to a hotel which George Lucas used as Luke Skywalker’s childhood home in the original “Star Wars” film. It’s still a hotel and contains props used in “Attack of the Clones.”

Perhaps the most famous “Star Wars” landmark in the world, this is where the interiors of Luke Skywalker’s childhood home on planet Tatooine were filmed.
Centuries ago, Berbers built the underground structure as a real home. Eventually it became a hotel, which George Lucas used to film the first “Star Wars” film.
The set decorations came down when the crew left, but were rebuilt in 2000 for “Attack of the Clones.” Since then, they’ve remained, so guests can eat at the table where young master Luke did.
La Grande Dune, outside Nefta, Tunisia
The igloo exterior of Luke’s house was filmed about 300 kilometers away on the dried-up salt lake of Chott El Jerid. It was rebuilt for “Attack of the Clones,” and later restored by a fan.

The surrounding craters are man-made, to create the illusion that the underground house is next to it.
The igloo from the 1977 movie was dismantled, but again rebuilt for “Attack of the Clones,” and later restored by a fan.
Nearby is La Grande Dune, site of the Dune Sea. About 30 minutes from the igloo is the set of Mos Espa, the spaceport town where Anakin was discovered as a young slave.
Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia
This spectacular salt flat in Bolivia is rendered even more spectacular for a battle scene between the Resistance and the First Order in “The Last Jedi.”
The desert doubles as the the remote mining planet of Crait, a rebel outpost.
In the movie, the barren terrain’s blindingly white salt surface covers blood-red minerals, producing violent bursts of color with every explosion and footprint.
Reynisfjara, Iceland
The black sand beach of Reynisfjara, a wild stretch of North Atlantic coastline close to the small town of Vik and Iceland’s southernmost tip, appears in “Rogue One” as the stormy planet of Eadu.

The black sand beach of Reynisfjara, a wild stretch of North Atlantic coastline close to the small town of Vik and Iceland’s southernmost tip, stands in for the stormy planet of Eadu.
It’s here the movie’s lead, Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones, unsuccessfully tries to save her grievously wounded father.
Redwood National and State Parks, California
The thrilling speedbike chases in “The Return of the Jedi” through the forests of Endor — the home of the furry Ewoks — were filmed among California’s giant redwoods.

Since the cast and crew worked on “Return of the Jedi” in 1982, heavy logging has left most of the landscape unrecognizable. But driving through the parks still gives a feel for the set, especially along the Avenue of the Giants highway.
In Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park and the Humboldt Redwoods State Park, plates were filmed for some chase scenes.
Krafla, Iceland
Northeastern Iceland’s Krafla Volcano also doubles as the planet of Eadu in “Rogue One.” It’s on Eadu that Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones, tries to save her wounded father.

We stay on “Rogue One’s” Eadu for another visit to Iceland, this time Krafla, an active volcano in the country’s remote northeast.
A source of geothermal energy, Krafla’s seething crater and nearby Lake Mývatn have also made an appearance in “Game of Thrones.”
Hardangerjøkulen Glacier and Finse, Norway
Exteriors of the ice world Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back” were shot in Finse, Norway, and the main battlefield scenes were shot on the nearby glacier.

Exteriors of the ice world Hoth in “The Empire Strikes Back” were shot in the tiny village of Finse, Norway.
In March and April, skies are normally clear and there’s still plenty of snow. Guides in Finse can help with hikes to see the exact locations.
Canary Wharf Station, London, England
The futuristic steel, glass and concrete of London’s Canary Wharf metro station doubles as an Imperial base on Scarif. The station is regularly used by bankers, so arguably has experience of the dark side of The Force.

London’s squished commuters would probably welcome a Galactic Empire takeover of the city’s under-strain metro system if its stormtroopers could get the trains to run to schedule.
It’s a scenario that almost plays out in “Rogue One,” when Canary Wharf, a modern London Underground interchange serving a key financial district, doubles as an Imperial base.
The futuristic steel, glass and concrete station is filled with stormtroopers rather than bankers for scenes on the Imperial planet of Scarif.
Villa del Balbianello, Lenno, Italy
Managed by Italy’s National Trust, the Villa del Balbianello on the shores of Lake Como, was the scene of Anakin and Padme’s wedding in “Attack of the Clones.” In real life, the villa is also a popular wedding destination.

In “Attack of the Clones,” Anakin and Padme go into hiding at a lake retreat that in real life is a popular choice for destination weddings on Italy’s Lake Como.
At the tip of a wooded peninsula reachable only by boat, Villa del Balbianello was built in 1787 for Cardinal Angelo Maria Durini.
James Bond came here for a bit in “Casino Royale.”
The villa’s exteriors were digitally altered for the Star Wars movie, but it’s easy to find and recognize the balcony where Anakin and Padme kiss.
Phang Nga Bay, Thailand/Guilin, China
Thailand and southern China might be warm for a hairy Wookiee, but that didn’t stop them being used as doubles for Chewbacca’s home planet of Kashyyyk in “Revenge of the Sith.”

Everyone’s favorite Wookiee was born on planet Kashyyyk, seen in “Revenge of the Sith” as a lush world of one endless season.
The images in real life were mostly taken as plate photography near Phuket, Thailand. Some shots were digitally combined with places in Guilin, China.
Whippendell Woods, UK
The tranquil glades of Whippendell Woods, just outside London, are the setting for one of the most controversial scenes in “Star Wars.” These woods are so stunning not even Jar Jar Binks can spoil it.

The forest of Naboo, where Jar Jar Binks first meets Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn in “The Phantom Menace,” was filmed in England near the Leavesden Film Studios.
Laamu Atoll, Maldives
In “Rogue One,” the Laamu Atoll, a string of islands that form part of the Maldives archipelago, plays Scarif, an Imperial planet where Death Star plans are stored.

Being sent to the planet of Scarif, a tropical planet linked to the development of the first Death Star, was probably a dream posting for Galactic Empire engineers.
In “Rogue One,” Scarif is played by the Laamu Atoll, a string of islands that form part of the Maldives archipelago.
The idyllic location witnesses explosive battle scenes as Jyn Erso leads a rebel squad on a mission to steal Death Star plans.
Plaza de Espana, Seville, Spain
The majestic Plaza de Espana in the Spanish city of Seville was originally built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. In “Attack of the Clones” and “The Phantom Menace,” it doubles as a palace on Naboo where Anakin and Padme get to stroll among its colonnades.

When Padme and Anakin arrive in Theed at a plaza outside the palace, they were actually in this plaza built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. The real plaza is a half-circle ringed by a moat with four bridges.
For the scenes in “Attack of the Clones” and “The Phantom Menace,” the plaza was dramatically expanded to a full circle, and the building altered to include the towers and green domes of Naboo.
Mount Etna, Italy
By the magic of cinematic special effects, the lava flows on Sicilian volcano Etna provided the hellish backdrop for a battle scene between Obi-Wan and Anakin in “Revenge of the Sith.”

No, the actors didn’t actually battle among the lava flows on the Sicilian volcano.
But it was used for plate photography to create the battle scene on Mustafar between Obi-Wan and Anakin in “Revenge of the Sith.”
Death Valley National Park, California
Crucial scenes in “A New Hope” were filmed in Death Valley between the Sierra Nevada mountains and Mojave Desert.

Although most of Tatooine was shot in Tunisia, crucial scenes in “A New Hope” were filmed in Death Valley between the Sierra Nevada mountains and Mojave Desert.
Twenty Mule Team Canyon was used for “Return of the Jedi” scenes with C-3PO and R2-D2 traveling to Jabba the Hut’s palace.
Other stops in the park that seem familiar from the movies: Dante’s View and the Mesquite Sand Dunes.
Mayan ruins in Tikal National Park, Guatemala
These thousand-year-old Mayan ruins came within a whisker of being destroyed by the Death Star in “A New Hope.” The film sees the temples used as a Rebel base.

Thousand-year-old Mayan ruins are the backdrop to the Rebel Alliance’s Massassi outpost on the fourth moon of Yavin.
Temples II and III reach over the jungle canopy, just as they do in the first shot of Yavin in “A New Hope.”
Buttercup Valley, Yuma Desert, Arizona
The Great Pit of Carkoon, home to the sarlacc that eats Jabba’s prisoners in “Return of the Jedi,” was filmed in Arizona rather than Tunisia.

The sail barge was constructed here, behind fences to keep out prying fans.
It was so big that the crew used the space underneath for offices, trailers and a commissary with 150 seats. They didn’t blow up the barge here, but fans still like to come hunting for pieces of the set in the sand.
Avenue 7 Novembre, Medenine, Tunisia

When Anakin was a slave boy in “The Phantom Menace,” his quarters were filmed on this real-life Tunisian street.
The distinctive buildings with vaulted ceilings are ghorfas, used by Berbers to store their grain. They were fortified and grouped into ksour. These are among the best-preserved examples.
Ajim, Island of Djerba, Tunisia
Featured in “A New Hope”, with some movie magic, this little structure transformed into the famous Cantina.

The cantina where Luke and Obi-Wan get stopped by sandtroopers is in the middle of the island town of Ajim. The building, once a bakery, went out of use and can be hard to find.
Obi-Wan’s home is easier to find, ironically located right on the Mediterranean Sea and much more beautiful than its desolate film locale. A lovely spot for a building that’s used by fishermen as a storeroom.

For the “Force Awakens,” director J.J. Abrams chose the desert of the United Arab Emirates to represent the planet Jakku.

For the “The Force Awakens,” director J.J. Abrams chose the desert of the United Arab Emirates rather than Tunisia. The cinematic sandy expanses stood in for the planet Jakku.
Skellig Michael, Ireland
The finale of “The Force Awakens” was filmed at the ruins of this seventh-century monastery, which sits on the steep sides of the island Skellig Michael. It is also appears in “The Last Jedi.”

The epic climax of “The Force Awakens” was filmed at the ruins of this seventh-century monastery, which sits on the steep sides of the island Skellig Michael.
New edition to the franchise “The Last Jedi” returns to this spectacular location, as Rey catches up with Luke Skywalker in his mysterious hiding place.
Even though it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its hard-to-reach location 12 kilometers off the coast of southwest Ireland discourages many visitors.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
The beautiful medieval city of Dubrovnik makes an appearance in “The Last Jedi” as Canto Bight, a “Star Wars” version of Las Vegas.

Dubrovnik has become a regular on TV screens in recent years — thanks to its starring role in “Game of Thrones.” Now it’s standing in for the gambling city of Canto Bight in “The Last Jedi.”
The medieval walled city’s well-preserved center gets a futuristic makeover to transform it into the “Star Wars” equivalent of Vegas.
Former RAF Greenham Common military base, Berkshire, UK
At the height of the Cold War, RAF Greenham Common military base was one of the most heavily guarded locations in the UK. It was a staging post for US military aircraft and home to some of Britain’s nuclear arsenal. Since being decommissioned, the base has been used for several movie projects.

This former military base was used by US and British forces during World War II but closed in 1993.
An error in an earlier version of this story created a disturbance in the Force. Luke Skywalker himself set us straight:
