I'll bet they don't film in my kitchen.

Just for fun, share a real world location that could easily be used as a setting in the sequels. I'll start with the capital city of Brazil, Brasilia...

It sort of looks a little bit like Starfleet Academy.
I bet they'll do some filming in Tunisia.

...obviously.
For a different take on dessert terrain how about Utah:
For new places there is the suitably alien :
Kliluk Lake:
Socrotra Island :
This crystal cave in Mexico:
The catacombs of Paris :
Change the buildings and these slate cliffs at Blaenau-Ffestiniog look other worldly.
Maybe the best way to bury the past is to charge at it.

The Sun are already speculating about a possible location.

These do look like great places to film at for planets.
One day we will have properly restored versions of the Original Unaltered Trilogy (OUT); or 1977, 1980, 1983 Theatrical released versions (Like 4K77,4K80 and 4K83); including Prequels. So that future generations can enjoy these historic films that changed cinema forever.

Those are some awesome locales, Bingowings! Isn't that crystal cave deadly hot inside though?
There's a privately owned Hawaiian island (whose name escapes me at the moment) that has some Martian landscapes I don't think have been in any movies.

That has to be a joke, right? Dr. Who filmed in just about every quarry in the U.K. back in the day, or so it seemed. ;)
It will be interesting to see what studio is used.
It also occurred to me they might film inside Star Tours just as an inside joke.

Background plates could be filmed in there for the cast to be dropped in via green screen.
It would probably be easier to use it as inspiration for a practical or virtual set though.

Wherever they get tax incentives to make it cheaper probably. Hopefully not Canada, Australia, or New Zealand.
Although maybe some filmed in England on sound stages, not sure if they are still there after all these years.
I mean the full intact stages they filmed the originals on.

Too many cheap movies and tv shows are done in Canada. New Zealand is lord of the rings and hobbit used.
Not sure why i listed Australia.

That doesn't mean they have to be cheap.

I can understand this one. I know NZ is very small, I'm not sure how much variety there is in terrain.
Not sure why i listed Australia.

If memory serves Lucas and Spielberg tried to save them but thanks to Thatcher (if in doubt blame Maggie) there is now a Tesco supermarket where the Death Star hanger bay used to be.
Maybe that's why The Sun suspects they will film near a British shopping centre.

I really hope they use real filming locations... something Abrams seems inclined to do.
Mexico's Yucatan is a treasure trove of awesome, otherworldly locations.

A cool pic I found of CGI architecture on real (Brazilian) locations.

And lets not forget using Bronson Cave, the Bradbury Building, and Vasquez Rocks.

Vasquez Rocks is probably my favorite movie location. It's famous for the Kirk vs. Gorn fight in Star Trek of course.
There's a cool house in L.A. they could use, if people have forgotten it was in Body Double. ;)

With some matte work, I see New Alderaan, capital of the New Republic.

I don't think the Chemosphere would fit in Star Wars, personally. I've always wanted to get my way up there, though. Vasquez Rocks is a little too distinguishable for it as well... but maybe that's just because I saw it on a matte shot in Power Rangers one too many damn times.

I hope to see grungy, dirty locations. Everything in the prequels is too pretty and perfect.
Let's see more of that underworld. I've been checking some of the "safe for work porn" subreddits. Some great shots of villages, cities, countrysides, etc. in those pages.
One setting we haven't had in a SW movie yet - A CEMETERY. Shmi's grave doesn't count. Sorry I don't have specific names or locations - just a general environment idea.
Another idea - a gold mine!

You could easily bluesreen the windows and use the interior though. (Lando's personal hideaway?) Vasquez Rocks was used for Vulcan in Trek '09 with a lot of CGI tweaking. The movie used a lot more real locations and interesting buildings than most people realize.
Lest we forget, the Lars' moisture farm is a real hotel in Tunisia. ;)
I admit I chuckled when Zordon's HQ turned up on a Star Trek TNG episode though.
