This and Solo are definitely the only two movies where I don’t remember any planet names, and I can’t find any online so I don’t even know if the Jungle planet is named at all. Either way that’s an amazing idea! I say we make it as Naboo as possible, and that way along with the purple lightsaber it can bring forth some Leia flavor that this film was intended to be, because of Leia’s maternal heritage. Even Rey has ties to Naboo because of Palpatine’s time in the prequels. When I go see it again tomorrow, I’m gonna look out for any shots to put those elder heads. Maybe put some rustic versions of those shiny, yellow Naboo starfighters from Episode I in some shots in the jungle and the final battle like the Ghost in Rogue One?

Apparently the Death Star wreckage is on an “oceanic moon called Kef Bir” which at first I thought was dumb because it can easily be the same moon as ROTJ as seen in the Ewok movies where there are plains and oceans. Now thinking I guess it doesn’t matter because they specifically say “forest moon” in ROTJ to imply there are other non-forest moons of Endor, so I’m fine with that now.

Another little change is to switch BB-8 with R2 at the ending somehow, because JJ really likes BB-8 so much that Rian had to ask him to switch them at the end of TFA. I think it’s weird not ending the saga at the homestead with R2, and Rey just kinda took Poe’s droid.
