While science fiction and fantasy may not be much in vogue with Italian contemporary writers, the locations of Italy have been used multiple times in these genres by big American productions. Lucasfilm, the production company founded by George Lucas, has certainly done the most work here shooting sequences that include key scenes in each of the three films in the new Star Wars trilogy (Star Wars: Episodes I, II and III) and, more recently, the spin off - Solo: A Star Wars Story.
