After the Rebels victory in Star Wars: Episode 6 Return of the Jedi, apparently, there was a major, or better yet, MASSIVE battle over the planet Jakku, which didn't exist to Star Ward fans until Daisy Ridley revealed it at the Star Wars Celebration panel April 16, 2015.
Like most of us, I too believed this desert planet shown in the first teaser trailer was non other than our beloved Tatooine. A planet that has played a very important role in our Star Wars story.
So, what's Jakku's story. We want to know more about it, right?
Well here's a small something to look forward to.
I found out in EA's newest Star Wars video game; Battlefront, that there will be a DLC (downloadable content) available a few weeks after it is officially released that will include a Battle of Jakku map. This alone is very interesting because it WILL give us an opportunity to see this planet in action. Give us a little insight in the importance of this battle. It may have a significant implication as to why The First Order and The Resistance was formed. Then again, maybe not.
This image from the second teaser trailer, this battle resulted in Jakku being a graveyard of many ships, large and small.
T This image above is a screenshot from the the trailer of Star Wars: Battlefront video game, presumably from that Battle of Jakku map. If you look in the upper right, there is a Star Destroyer that has just crashed! Still in flames as well!
So now the wait begins! Not only for November 17th, the release date for Star Wars Battlefront, but also December 8 when the DLC Battle of Jakku is released!
There are moments in a persons life where a major event happens and their lives change forever based on a decision they make at or immediately after the event.
There are two moments in particular in two of the Star Wars movies that come to mind that have this pivotal moment.
In "Attack of the Clones," after Anakin Skywalker has slaughtered an entire village of Sand People because they were supposedly responsible for his mothers death is one. In "A New Hope" after Luke Skywalker discovers Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's charred remains at their homestead is the other.
If you look at the this image, the top frame is Anakin Skywalker returning to his step father's homestead (later it will be Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru's) with his mother's body. After this event, Anakin begins his decent to the dark side of the force. The middle frame is Luke Skywalker looking upon his aunt and uncle's remains after they were murdered by imperial stormtroopers that were looking for his droids. It was after this event that Luke makes a decision to learn the ways of the force and become a Jedi like his father.
Yes, these were pivotal moments in these two Star Wars characters lives that changed their destiny's and the galaxy forever.
Now, here we are, waiting for the December 18th release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and I notice a scene during the recent release of the second teaser trailer. Its a scene that has the character we only know as "Rey" played by Daisy Ridley. The look Rey has on her face. It seems very similar to the previous two scenes I mentioned earlier. Rey is viewing something, possibly a pivotal moment where she will make a decision that could change her destiny and the galaxy forever! F O R E V E R!
Now, let me tell you something else. I, by no means, am I going to claim Rey is a Skywalker. That would seem to be an implication of my analysis. But I am not sure who Rey is and I won't know, like the rest of you, until December 18th!
My intentions for this blog is simply to allow me to voice my thoughts about what I think is the greatest movie series ever made. I will never post what I think are spoilers for the next movie, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But I will post my thoughts of what I THINK may be happening in the next chapter. Certainly just my thoughts but I may be right on or way out in left field!
