Said in the trailer for the new map, this line proves that Jakku is going to be one of the most pivotal points in the new film - in size and importance comparable to the Battle of Endor or the Forest Moon of Endor.īut while every previous major encounter between the Rebel Alliance and the Empire has included one or more of the main characters (Luke, Leia, Han or Vader), Jakku is strangely hero-less. 'The end of the Galactic Empire as we know it' It no longer has a death grip on the universe and the Battle of Jakku is the last critical battle against the remnants of the old Galactic Empire. The Empire, as seen in the trailer for the new film and on Jakku, is only a small fraction of what it once was.
That would put Luke at a ripe, old 52 years of age (our best estimates put him around 23 years old at the end of the third film) and Han would be pushing 60.īut the main characters aren't the only one's who have changed in that time. Turns out 29 years is a pretty significant amount of time. Speed up 29 years and because of the earlier battle the planet's surface is covered in wreckage before the fighting really begins, and it really only gets worse when the Empire tries to pull a Braveheart and stages a last stand there. Seriously, it looks like something out of Mad Max. Take one look at the map and it's clear that even for a desert planet located in the Western Reaches of the galaxy past the Inner Rim, Jakku is a literal wasteland.
