Supposedly if every car in Hong Kong was on the road at the same time there would be gridlock!

In their latest series "The Long Way Down" one of the countries that Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor went through was used as the film location for some of the Star Wars series, what was the country.

Ewan was a bit miffed as he was walking around with his name on his t-shirt and no-one asked him for an autograph even though he played a young Obi-wan Konobi when it was filmed in said country.

Yep that's correct, your turn.

There is an actual place name in Tunisia called Tattooine, which was used as the name of the home planet of Princess Liea, which got blowed-up by the DeathStar.

Tatooine is (not coincidentally) the desert planet that Luke Skywalker grew up on and first met old Ben Kenobi.
