Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 10 Spoilers From The Concept Art
7. Something (Or Someone) Important Is On Tatooine
Okay, so nobody knows if the huge amount of concept art doing the rounds, depicting a sand-swept planet is actually Tatooine, but considering how famous the Skywalker home planet is, it's hardly a long-shot to suggest that it is. With the Millenium Falcon and a recognisable Rebel ship in the foreground, the location is clearly somewhere familiar to the characters we all know and love, which begs the question: why are we revisiting Tatooine? Every planet that features in the Star Wars films always has a purpose for being visited, so what purpose is there for Han and friends to return to the smuggler haven? Is the planet important at all anymore now that the Empire's trading restrictions no longer exist? It'll be interesting to see if the planet's population has re-purposed itself into some sort of government after Jabba the Hutt's death or whether it's under the rule of some new regime.
