SPECULATION Which Planets will be in Rogue 1?

Am I the only one who thinks that the climax takes place on Eadu, not Scarif?

Spoiler

A while back there was a leak that described an action scene involving Vader on a rainy planet. They aren't going to waste him in the second act, he will be part of the final action scene.
I also couldn't spot Bohdi Rook in any of the shots from the Eadu scene and from the trailer it's looking like he may sacrifice himself on Scarif.

 

Yeah, I get how they're rewriting Legends stuff (like Ben Solo instead of "Jacen") but Geonosis as the Death Star's base is basically canon- we see the plans on Geonosis in Episode 2.

The only thing I can think is that for some reason they may not want to destroy Geonosis (maybe there's some current canon reference to it being around during the Galactic Civil War or something), but Eadu is a little more disposable and therefore can be lasered.

I also really hope we see Tatooine in the very end. I imagine the last shot as being Leia putting the plans into R2 (shot from a distance and behind, to obscure- would be cool if it were actually Carrie Fischer, too!) and hearing "Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Then cut to black, and a few seconds later we see the text "Obi Wan will return in Kenobi in 2020." A guy can dream.

 

Don't we see that shuttle on Scarif explode in one of the trailers?

With that, the X-Wing attack on the shields/docking ring, the U-Wings vs the AT-ACTs, and what appears to be an injured Jyn atop that tower on Scarif, I'm thinking it's a safe bet the film climaxes there rather than Eadu. There's also that rumor about Chirrut that Jiang Wen let slip at the Comic Con that makes me think that happens on Scarif, which confuses me since we see Baze and Chirrut working together on Eadu.

It's still possible I suppose.

What confuses me is that we have this action figure of Cassian that says that is his Eadu outfit, but he appears to be wearing that on Jedha. I haven't been able to spot him in the Eadu footage.

 

This movie is looking more and more like Predators.

 

So the SWNN review of "Catalyst" confirms that the Iceland planet is called.....................

Spoiler: PLANET NAME

Lah'mu

I feel like Disney isn't doing a great job with cool/interesting planet names.

 

Yeah, they're all kind of... I don't know, alienating?

OT stuff like Hoth, Bespin, Endor, Tatooine... it was all stuff that is basically nonsense words for us, but linguistically seems comforting. For English speakers, many of these new planets force us to step out of our comfort zones a little more. Not that that's a bad thing by any means, just an observation.

Though Scarif does look pretty interesting. I've always liked the idea of beach planets.

 

There is also a planet named

Spoiler

Wobani

that we see Jyn on, which is an Imperial Labor Camp.

 

Wa-BAM!

(i).

 

Like Tatooine, Lah'mu is named after a real world location. Tatooine after a city in Tunisia, and Lah'mu after an atoll in the Maldives. I guess both George and Gareth were inspired by their filming locations.
