 That greatly depends on your point of view. ;)

I wonder where the inevitable THX 1138 reference will hidden?

Okay. Stepping back a bit and being more objective...

The costume design (and the podracer bits) is a bit Prequel-y, I must admit. Just doing some comparisons with Tobar and there's a definite difference between OT and ST that leans more to the PT.

No matter what, this is a movie being designed by people in 2014, not 1987

 So a film shot today that's set in the 1930's should have everyone wearing t-shirts and jeans?

 I see a lot of robes, a couple funny hats. Admittedly I could go with some late 70s sideburns, but I just don't see Prequaly.

Maybe it's the Star Wars equivalent of the radiation/biohazard symbol.

I'm still reluctant to call this Tatooine. There could be other arid planets where Vaporators are in use. When a photo of a Jawa or a Tusken Raider pops up, I'll gladly eat my words.

Three random thoughts (assuming this is Tatooine):

Interesting parallel since the first set photo from Episode 1 was also from Tatooine.  I also find it interesting that none of the main stars appear to be in any of these pictures.  Perhaps they weren't there on the day of filming, or perhaps these weren't leaked by accident?

Even though I'm pretty positive about the movie, everybody praising the heavens because this looks less CG might want to keep in mind that Tatooine was basically practical in the prequels as well.  That being said, I'm 99.9% sure these movies are going to be more enjoyable than the prequels.

I'm also wondering about Abrams use of a giant pig puppet, considering he's always gone with CG creatures before.  I'm thinking this is a direct response to the overuse of CG in the prequels.

The pig might also be something an actor rides on?

Sarlacc pit in there maybe?

Hmm ... a sarlacc would make for a good hiding place when you think about it.

Well whatever that warning is about, it makes you wonder what all the other 291070 warnings (at least) are about too!! :O :P

Serious note: Very interesting pics lately. I like what I see and I'm anxious to see more, but not too much! Btw I doubt anyone's getting fired for making these pics available online.. I'm quite sure it was intentional to tease us with these - It's how JJ roles ;)

 Great example,....only thing I can think that could explain is the Star Wars (A new Hope) images show interplanetary pilots etc,.....Mos Eisley Spaceport..

The others could be natives......Beru?......well she's a posh housewife,....not riffraff like the others

Beru's collar looks very 70s Tatooine. :-)  Maybe those went out of style after 30+ years?

I thought that, too, but it falls apart when the new stuff looks like styles that were 20+ years old in 1970s Tatooine.

Originally I was excited about the Rebels show. As time went on I got less and less excited and now I don't care about it at all. Originally I didn't care about Episode 7, but as time goes on I get more and more excited
