Just in regards to the desert planet talk - If it’s simply for a visit to Jabbas palace at one stage then that’s fine but if a large portion of the movie is set on a desert planet then I will be a bit disappointed, especially if it’s Tatooine as then what always felt like a big and open universe in Star Wars is going to start feeling very small and constricted. The OT did a great job on expanding the universe with each consecutive movie and the PTs even did a certain extent despite continually returning to Tatooine. The ST and other anthology movies need to keep doing this rather than rehashing old ground.
