Corellia, Alderaan, and Dantooine are all supposed to be more climatologically diverse, but we don’t really get to see any of those planets onscreen.
And what’s remarkable is how much they look in no way like Southern California
I could have sworn Dantooine is prairie all over the way that Tatooine is desert.
Quick question, is it stated in the film how long Luke’s been in exile?
It’s a long time he go to a galaxy far, far away…
They didn’t say specifically, but it was stated that it was after the new Jedi temple was destroyed. Assuming that Kylo Ren was the one who lead the attack, it probably wasn’t much more than ten years back, since he appeared to be an adult in the flashback Rey saw (again assuming she saw the fall of the new Jedi order).
Right you are. I found it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65As1V0vQDM. Good stuff. Probably my favorite part of the new score.
Hi - I am not planning on seeing the film but I am curious about two things - Why is Luke in exile and why does Han & Leia’s son turn into a bad guy? Thanks.
Luke ran off in shame after his Jedi academy turned into a house of horrors; and Han and Leia’s son went bad because “he had too much Vader in him”.
Why not see it?
Luke is in self-imposed exile because the new Jedi order he was founding was destroyed when one of his pupils, presumably Han & Leia’s son, destroyed it. He appears to blame himself.
Han & Leia’s son, Ben, or Kylo Ren, was seduced to the dark side by the current leader of The First Order, Snoke. It appears Ren is having trouble staying evil, and he wants to turn to the light side, but is committed to the path he’s taken.
thanks, Lobohan. I’m not really into Star Wars (obviously) & don’t want to spend the $ on a film I’m not very interested in.
That’s because they get a new actual Civil War every generation or so.
Man, what else is Kylo Ren if not a re-enactor?
I thought this whole movie was a re-enactment of Episode IV.
So that means – Kylo Ren Is J.J. Abrams; Wake Up, Sheeple, right?
Apologies, but I can’t let this go…
“In a Big Country” by “Big Country” on their album “The Crossing” 
For such occasions, TVTropes is your friend, and will ruin your life. I’ve used it to look up games that look interesting but aren’t my genre (such as horror games).
You happy, Raguleader? You’ve derailed the thread by sending everybody down the TVTropes hole.
But it is like the song Bad Company from the band Bad Company off the album Bad Company.
Talk Talk by Talk Talk almost made the trifecta as well, but fell one short.
How soon we forget “Living In A Box” by Living In A Box, off their album Living In A Box.
