    And Kira is a planet from the old EU, before anybody leaps to conclusions over that name being on there... ;)

    First, what is this and why does it look like a subway map?
    Second, Am I going crazy or is Coruscant not on that map?

    Oh do keep up - Coruscant is Spectacular City/Good Castle planet, Alderaan is Resistance base/Greenham Common planet, Kamino is Evil Castle/lake planet and Tatooine is Jakku, even though they co-exist on this map. What happened with Tatooine was the two suns separated and went their own ways, each taking half of the land mass of the planet with them, one of the portions being renamed Jakku...

    Just a quick aside:

    Jakku (translated from Finnish) into English is: Jacket

    I mean, it seems like a lot of work to reconstruct an entire planet just to build a new rebel base, but who am I to argue with that level of dedication.

    The fact that no-one has told us that the resistance base is constructed on a complete planet is evidence that it could be constructed on an incomplete planetoid mass, or residual chunk of a planet which has been blown into pieces. There was grass on Alderaan.
    That's how JJ rolls... :p

    Honestly, I think JJ reads this forum, saw @Fallon Tagge 's theory, said "oh crap, they're on to me" and leaked this fake map to throw us off the trail. Its the only logical explanation.

    Hah.
    But the thread about the map predates the thread about Jakku by exactly five hours and 26 seconds... ;)

    Would you believe me if I said JJ is also a time traveler?

    Even after all this. I'm still in Camp Jakku-is-Tatooine! It's too late for me. I'm in too deep. Save yourselves. JJ is devious.

    Looking at the new map is it possible Jakku = Kira?

    An Italian facebook account publishes a photo of a metro map with StarWars planets, missing some of the most important, and for you this confirms it all.

    But nobody talls about this pic. Why are this lightsabers in the picture? Vader is dead and luke's first saber was lost.

    They are in rhe picture because both sabers where built in Tatooine.

    #jakkuistatooine and time will tell...

    But in TFA case it's not liying, is just giving the right amount of information to have fans discussing for months.

    And beyond each one's opinion, what do you guys prefer: to think JJ has crafted a new planet with no imagination at all, or that in his desire to put the western-like look in TFA he took Tatooine and gave it a real twist by giving it this amazing element that are the ruins of the greatest space battle after Endor?

    I'm buying the map because @Pomojema said its real. Don't think he would state that so confidently if he didn't have reason to believe it. The format is strange admittedly. I thought it was fake at first.

    I do not in the least doubt that this is a very real map made for an Italian Facebook page.
