    Every SW movie has a big battle, either at the end of the movie or beginning. So where do you think the one in this movie will take place? We know they're shooting on a desert planet (I'm leaving out planet names until they're 100% confirmed), and I think Iceland was mentioned as a location as well. Also, they're, of course, shooting in England on stages so plenty of options exist.

    For the moment, I see the battle taking place at either the desert planet, ice planet, or space, but i'm going with the desert planet as we haven't see a major battle there yet (I don't consider the heroes vs. Jabbas thugs a major battle).

    What are your thoughts on this?

    I'm hoping for space. I miss ANH's focus on space battles.

    I'd like to see a space battle that focuses on capital ships rather than starfighters, all the way through.

    I'm thinking J.J. himself would love to return to the space battle motif, which was strangely lacking in the PT (I know it was there but it was not a major focus). Or it could be a multi-pronged battle (similar to the end of AOTC), that starts on a planet and then moves out into space.

    A battle over Tatooine would be new and different. There would have be powerful story elements at work to get it there.

    I'd like to see the opposite. IMO dogfights are the essence of Star Wars, Capital ship battles are for Star Trek.

    ANH opens with a battle between two capital ships.

    The opening will feature the pilots of 2 starfighters engaged in a fistfight in space.

    I think the big battle will be in space with capital ships maybe, but I know I would like to see some smaller dogfights just above the planets surface with fighters ducking between buildings or mountains and canyons.

    I'm slightly confused, perhaps someone can clarify... I have been reading in various threads that Iceland signifies the likelihood of an ice planet, maybe even Hoth. That said, weren't Iceland and Greenland supposed to be the antithesis of their namesakes with Iceland being green, and Greenland being icy, or am I mistaken?

    Iceland has a lot of green and Greenland has a lot of ice, but there are also icy parts of Iceland green parts of Greenland.

    The big final battle will not involve any ships. It will be a group of planets firing ion cannons across interstellar space at each other..

    I thought that as well, but the article kept hinting at an ice planet so I figured that were shooting at a more-northern part of the country.

    Episode VII, specifically? Oh, I don't know. Probably three, or so different arenas of battle will be featured simultaneously.

    But more generally, I definitely hope to see more space battles throughout the ST and I think that, at some point, a final battle on Coruscant may be in order (perhaps at the climax of Episode IX?).

    I say space as a technicality. I want it to be a TPM/ROTJ-style battle, with ground, space, and saber battles going on at the same time. Han leads the space forces in the Falcon, one of the new cast (Isaac? He could be a soldier-type.) leading the ground battle, and a lightsaber duel between the main heroes and the villain. I think it would be cool if the Jedi (Luke + Ridley/Gleeson/Boyega, I hope) boarded the enemy warship, and the duel was actually taking place aboard an exploding starship. It's what the Invisible Hand scene in ROTS could've been, if played out right.

    True, but I think we're somewhere else other than Hoth. If they wanted Hoth they could've went to Norway. I think the shoots in Iceland were there for the non-snowy terrain.

    I love this idea. A full scale underwater battle is something we've never seen before in Star Wars. I hope this happens at some point in the ST.

    TCW at least had a certain amount of underwater fighting in the Mon Cala arc.

    No!
    Someplace else.

    Also keep things separate. ANH. Lightsaber duel and then space battle for example. Give each thing its moment to shine. No 2-3 things going on at once.
