SPECULATION Jakku and "grass planet" similarities

Good digging @cassidy. My hunch is that its scenario 2, they reusing the same prop across multiple sets.

 

Two different locations, I don't think Jakku has grass. But those prop finds you found, ya I agree are common technology in the galaxy. There is a star ship company Surosub or whatever its called that makes ships but I don't know if they make engines too, I would assume so. And that place on Jakku from seems to be some kind of space port with a market place. Seeing we know the Falcon is parked around the area.

For prop use I think its just a way for them to reuse pieces on different locations. They'll reuse things for other star wars movies as well, and most likely for the live action series if it ever gets here.

Isn't on a grassy planet at all? I do see grass at that rebel base? I think its at Yavin, just near the temple.

 

SuroSub or so..

 

Just curious, had anyone ever considered that multiple biomes can exist on the same planet in a Star Wars film? For all we know the desert, the lakes, the grass, and the snowy forest, could all be Jakku.

 

Does it really seem odd that they would re-use some generic machinery props on multiple sets - especially machinery located at two different locations where people park their spaceships?

 

ill have to come back to this one when im not on a computer that seems to be blocking your images. from all the feed back so far it looks promising

 

I agree 100% idk why it hasn't come up yet...iv been saying the same thing like a broken record. its nice to know someone else shares my same thought. lol

 

You can even see the domed structure in background partly on fire. Falcon parked near it as seen in concept art above.

 

Can't wait to see the Falcon going into hyperspace again, I bet they're saving that shot for the trailer.

 

My two cents are continuity in the Star Wars galaxy. Just props and sets. Reusable props and sets

 

you can still have that. lets say they leave in the summer and return during the winter to the same planet. all of a sudden we see snow. we would know that time has passed.

 

I don't think there is any mystery here. It is just an example of X number of set pieces having been produced (or even hauled out of storrage from earlier films), and seeing use on several sets. This is standard Hollywood sensibilities, it being cheaper to move stuff across the planet, then to build multiple pieces.

But great find! I love spotting this kind of thing in movies

 

I admire anyone trying to take a different spin on things but I agree that it's most likely different sets/planets and just reusing props.

 

Sorry if this has been said, but:

4. Jakku was home to a Resistance base similar to that filmed at Greenham, and it was the base's presence that lured the Empire there for the Battle of Jakku. (We are assuming the BoJ was a Resistance (Rebellion) initiative, but it needn't necessarily be so).

Great post though, thanks for info--and personally I think 2. is most likely, and no doubt we'll see those props again in the Anthology movies and future Saga episodes, too!....

 

Wayne I don't think that's supported by the existing fluff on Jakku. The battle happens about 12 months after Endor because remnant Imperials gathered at an out of the way remote desert world.

 

Fair enough, just speculating....
