Arch-To Twin Islands? Any significance?

the only significance is that this is a cool shot.

 

There's also a third land mass in the distance.
Ach-To seems to be part of an archipelago.

Maybe the others have meanings and purpose as well. Or maybe Ach-To is special.

 

Strange, I was just rewatching Force Awakens and wondered the same thing at the end. Is Luke's the only inhabited island on the planet? There are quite a few others that can be seen in TFA, surely there must be someone/something else hanging out there, too.

My other thought was: while Rey and Luke are on the island training in TLJ, what is Chewie going to be doing?? Last we see is him with R2 at the base of the steps - do they hang around or leave to go off by themselves (a spin-off series chronicling the adventures of Chewie and R2 would be rather amusing...)

 

One island is full of the force the other one is fantasy island where your dreams come true.

 

Wait 2 Islands . . . Solo twins confirmed

 

Richardo Mantobalm was marooned on a planet in Star Trek. His little assistant lived on an island with the Amman with the Golden Gun in a Bond movie. Christopher Lee is Count Dooku.
Coincidence?

I think not.

 

And thank Jeezus Abrams did not shot that, it would have been full of lensflares.

We tell you there are 3 islands!!!!

All is conspiracy. All of it.

 

Well there are two islands there in real life, Great Skellig (Skellig Michael) and Little Skellig. I guess they just didn't see the point in removing little skellig from the shot coz it looked cool. Also as far as I'm aware there was no filming done there because it's closed off, a sanctuary for Gannets. The other landmass is probably mainland Ireland. There was some filming done on the mainland.

 

I think that they left it because Ahch-To is made up of an archipelago, thus there was no reason to remove it. However, I'd argue this is shot was there to just "look cool." Sure, exciting imagery is an important ingredient of teasers but this image, like the music accompanying it and Luke's monologue are there to evoke an aura of mysticism an even religiosity surrounding this place. Also, if we do a bit of intelectual stretching this shot may signify that a new hope for the galaxy in form of Rey and Luke together is rising but that, in my opinion, isn't really validated by anything else.

 

Jeezus! Is that shape of window intended to make us understand that Artoo will hold a lightsaber ???

 

Well actually it confirms....

 

A.....




MA.....



GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD !!!!!!!

 

i read somewhere that he went out of his way NOT to use lenflare

 

That would certainly be an interesting plot device to have the small island be some kind of dark side locale.

 

I know a few establishments Boba would feel comfortable in.

 

I don't think there is any significance with the other island being in the shot, other than it looking cool. It's almost an identical shot of when the Falcon approached at the end of TFA. All the other little surrounding islands were there too.

 

Eeeeeeeeeeeeem. Do you remember the first TFA teaser we got ("there has been an awakening.... have you felt it") ? Do you remember that shot of the Millenium Falcon, looping over the dunes of Jakku (we all believed it was Tatooine) right before avoiding two TIE's ?
