    Thought this was worthy of it's own thread.

    First I recommend watching this video in HD:


    Then there's this overhead image:

    Further info can be found here: Article

    So clearly this is a huge outdoor location for an Alliance/Republic base. Some have speculated that it's Dantooine based on the similarities to how that planet was depicted in KOTOR.

    Either way it's a very cool design & location! Thoughts?

    I know but I think it's worth having it's own thread so more people are made aware of it.

    i know i wouldn't have found it if it didn't have it's own thread...sometimes I think those generic threads can do more harm than good in terms of making news visible...

    but anyway...

    very cool stuff...i love how much exterior stuff we seem to be getting for this film...

    Kept waiting for the jump scare. Dang internet has me trained to be paranoid of videos with little/no volume.

    Would love to see Dantooine in the sequels.

    The bunker entrances kind of look like the entrance to the base on Yavin IV IMO.

    The entrance to the temple on Yavin IV was MUCH bigger. They would have to do so much CGI to replicate it that there really would be no need to go to that location to get those shots.

    When some background effects are added this is going to look amazing on screen! There's a massive size & scale to this outdoor set.

    OK, call me crazy, but does that look like it could be an updated Endor Speeder Bike next to the Falcon? It's probably some equipment of some kind and I'm just making things up, but maybe....

    I guess that I failed when I put this info into the X-Wing thread instead of here. :oops:

    That said...

    This does not give off a military vibe to me. It doesn't look to me like it would be a formal Republic setting. Perhaps they are dealing with independent organizations or pirates?


    That is a JLG lift. http://www.jlg.com/en/equipment/engine-powered-boom-lifts/telescopic

    A black X-Wing....that's cool :cool:

    Maybe it will be Driver's or Christie's. Mind you if it's filmed on this set & we assume that it's an Alliance base that may be unlikely.

    Yeah, there seem to be about three threads for this airfield stuff. Apologies.

    Not at all but I think this is cool enough to have its own thread & more importantly a headline on the 7SA page so people will notice it.

    Was it huge? The background looked very Imperial but could just be a Star Destroyer or any kind of Imperial ship or building interior.

    Not so much a where, but a who. The Empire is definitely in this movie. I'll bet my ship on it.

    I believe they will layer a ton of CGI over everything. The place will be unrecognizable when seen on screen.

    True but I thought we already new that. From Kevin Smith's stormtrooper reveal to the stormtrooper helmets to the earlier Star Destroyer set leaks.

    This is fine.It's enough information to make it's own thread.With that said....

    It really does look like Dantoonie. Very similar how it looks in Kotor.

    No, you did the right thing. Anything "X-Wings in the ST"-related goes there :) (and elsewhere, if also relevant to that).
