Starting to wonder if a chunk of the movie is the quest to find Luke, which leads into revisiting some old familiar places.

Or maybe the tables have turned, and the Empire is the one with hidden bases?

Both of those would be fantastic platforms to build a story on.

*fingers crossed*

Truthfully, there are two things in all of this that are so fun for me. One is the fact that we're sitting around discussing a Star Wars film without Lucas' involvement (real story tellers and writers now), directed by a guy who is a fan of the original. The visual design of the film is very 1977\McQuarrie.

The second is that we're discussing\guessing what the story will be and getting glimpses of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the Princess. I've waited an incredibly long time for this franchise to be corrected. We may very well get to see that happen.
