What's something your area introduced to the world?

a new zealander was the base for all the original clone troopers in star wars :)

Northern California was the used for Endor in Return of the Jedi.

We also got used to film a lot of movies. American Graffiti, The Birds, and others. Peanuts (as in Charlie Brown and Snoopy) is local. Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas live around here, though they weren't born here.
