    Maybe it's Jakoo? Naboo after a heavy drought.

    Maybe a weapon was used in whatever war that took place over it that decimated it's climate?

    The way Daisy could barely remember or say the name, I still wonder if this is a bluff.

    so Rey most likely a legacy when we find her it's not on Tatooine but a similar looking planet, so do all Skywalkers start from desert planets.:p

    I speculated it's short for Jakooine. The next planet over in that system of identical planets.

    And oh I hear some stormtroopers are looking for a droid on this planet. If only the Millennium Falcon were there so they could escape. All you need is an old man and a hand-me-down lightsaber.

    I guess if you spot a Rodian anywhere on Not Tatooine just blast him in the face immediately. Better safe than sorry.

    People don't seem to mind there being another snow planet. I personally have no issue with the idea of another desert world. They are giving it a distinct look with the crashed starships around the place. I'd rather see these, I must say, rather beautifully photographed desert landscapes, than some unreal looking bluescreen planet cooked up for the sake of being otherworldly. As JJ said, these films are as much westerns as they are sci-fi. The John Ford type landscapes are very welcome in that regard.

    Well you weren't the only one. Strange that it so closely resembles Tatooine. It's not as if it even seems to present anything different.

    Finally, we're getting away from Tatooine.

    I wonder if this new planet will be in Rebels at any point.

    This is the only thing that worries me at this point.. We get too many similar locations to Tatooine, Hoth and Endor...
    Hopefully there will be some interesting, new worlds like Utapau, Bespin, Naboo or Mustafar...

    Anyone mentioned the obvious yet?

    Jett, Amanda, Katie

    In a move similar to the Prequels (JAK Productions) and Return of the Jedi (Blue Harvest Productions) the film is in pre-production under a pseudonym: Foodles Productions Ltd, a company registered on 26th March 2013 to the Disney headquarters in London.

    Seems to be confirmation that it's spelled "Jakku":
