In the spring of 1982, a fella named Mike Davis gathered a bunch of friends and decided to investigate a chunk of southern California desert called Buttercup Valley, where they'd heard that a new sci-fi film called Blue Harvest: Horror Beyond Imagination was filming.
When they got there, they discovered Jabba the Hutt's pleasure barge, R2-D2 without his lid on and Princess Leia relaxing in the sun. Not a bad day for a bunch of fans and their pre-digital cameras.
