Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 6 Huge Reveals From The Leaked Script

5. Luke Skywalker's New Home

We don't learn much about the planet Luke Skywalker is hiding out on in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the various tie-in novels and guides have provided very little in the way of significant insight. We do know that it's likely the location of the first Jedi temple however, but the script for the movie sheds at least a little more light on the mysterious planet by giving it a name; "Ahch-To." Interestingly, some fans have pointed out that "Ahch" is a Hebrew word which means "brother." Does that mean Rey is Luke's brother? Seeing as that would be physically impossible, I'm going to go with no! However, if this is more than just a placeholder name for the planet, chances are that it's a reference to the fact that Leia sent the young Jedi to find her brother and could indicate that Leia was at one point going to be there too. However, this could also just be a fun way of pointing to the fact that this scene is the beginning of Act Two in this new trilogy. Regardless, the description for the planet makes it clear that it's a world made up almost entirely of water, while the steps on the island which the Millennium Falcon lands on are said to be "ancient", thereby making it apparent that this is a world that holds some very very old secrets within.
