That’s my stance too. Either fully commit to making a new planet, or just cut the crap and make it Tatooine. I disagree about Coruscant or Corellia working, though. It needed to be a backwater planet.

In terms of making it a truly different planet, you could add unique plantlife or other structures in the background or recolor the sky using EbSynth. A green sky would be interesting. Especially against purple sand. However, I feel like the sand would be an absolute nightmare to recolor. At most, you could maybe tweak the color balance slightly, but that’s it.

But the more I think about it, the more I want a planet with a purple landscape against a green sky… Well the other ST planets are just as generic, so I could give that treatment to one of them. Preferably one that’s only in a scene or two so it’s not too much work.

Oh and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: make Ilum (Starkiller Base) a snowy volcano. It’s an idea that appeared in concept art and would help resolve the issue of the fissure that splits Rey and Kylo once you remove the “destroy the superweapon” part of the film. Just add lava flowing to some of the wide shots and voila!
