Now that many people have mentioned the “Apocalypse Now” shot, it got me wondering… what was the purpose of it in the first place? Simply homage? The TIEs have a sunset behind them and it is (or seemed like) the middle of the day on Takodana. Oh well…
JEDIT: Ok, never mind about the middle of the day…
The time of day seems to change on a whim on Takodana. It’s late afternoon when Rey steps out of the Falcon:
…then it’s mid-day when she runs away from the castle:
…then the apocalypse TIEs happen at sunset, then it’s mid-day again through the attack, then it’s nearly sunset when Leia arrives:
I have two possible answers to this conundrum:
- Takodana has seriously screwed up rotation.
- Someone’s doing the time warp again.
