Just read about “new desert planet Pasaana.”

It’s a minor thing, but if you want a desert planet why not pick Jakku or Tatooine, and if you want a new planet then why another desert planet?

I don’t know if the planet is specifically a desert. I think a lot of the locations take place on different parts of the same world. My theory is that this planet is highly connected to the force. Almost like force Mecca.

Isn’t that what Jedha was supposed to be?

Weren’t we just discussing the fact that they said it’s a new planet named Pasaana, or are you saying you hope Jedha makes an appearance as well?

I take everything with a grain of salt… they could have been throwing us off. Probably not but possible. If it is yet another desert planet, they’ll need to do something cool with it. Because it looks an awful lot like Jedha.

At least this confirms that the Knights of Ren will play a part in Ep. IX (not that there was much doubt about that to begin with);

Vanity Fair released a few other set photos as well, but this one was the only one that really stood out. The rest is mostly stuff we’ve already seen in the trailer, plus some new alien designs.

The most curious part about the Knignts of Ren article is it confirms the person Kylo smashes in the red forest is one of the Knights of Ren.

Is it just me, or does it look like they’re fighting on the Falcon?

There are some similar features, but the overall structure doesn’t really match any specific section of the Falcon as far as I can tell. I think it’s more likely to be somewhere on the Death Star wreckage.

That would make sense considering the wreckage was in the ocean.

It would actually be very common. Any planet on the inside of the Goldilocks zone would tend to be hot and probably arid, or it could just have weird weather patterns that render much of it hot and arid.

‘Abrams revealed that in meetings with The Force Awakens and original trilogy writer Lawrence Kasdan as well as Rian Johnson and George Lucas, they settled on an ending that was specifically designed to bring the nine-film series to a satisfying conclusion. “If a kid is watching all nine movies,” Abrams said, “he or she sees this one path, this inevitability and that’s the challenge of this movie.”’

So it looks like its an ending everyone was in on.

GUYS WHAT IS UP WITH LUKE? FLASHBACK? FORCEGHOST? TEMPORARY RETURN TO REALITY?
THOUGHTS?!

My thoughts are its just a promotional photo. When we actually see him it’ll be in flashback form or with force ghost blue.

After being beaten and battered by prequel hate, I promise not to be that to the next generation.

Note Luke still has a glove on his hand. And since we didn’t see the mechanical hand fall off when he disappeared, all bets are off. 😉

I’ve seen it pointed out that the glove has been taken from a The Last Jedi photo and pasted into the new photo. So we can’t be sure what type of hand he will actually have in the movie.

Why would they do that? Just to misdirect?

Honestly the first thing I thought when I looked at that phot was that it seemed like it was from the TLJ shoot. I don’t think it’s a misdirect, Vanity Fair has limited info and probably just tried to make a cool looking shot based on the scene from TLJ. Or none of what I said is true. Who knows.

Here is the TLJ photo:

Even the angle of his shoes and some of the creases in the robe are the same. So it’s possible that the “new” image is actually from the TLJ shoot but repurposed. Either they can’t or don’t want to show what he looks like now. It could just be because a new photoshoot with Mark couldn’t happen for some reason. Maybe this is what he will look like anyway, or maybe he will look different in some spoilery way they don’t want to show yet.

Yeah, because Mark speaks his mind. They don’t want him near the press.

Oh, for the love of…

Maybe they’re just trying to keep his role a secret beyond the fact that he’s on the cast list?
