I'm just glad they aren't using that stupid S7ar Wars logo that was floating around the net a while back. KEEP IT CLASSIC!!!

Most likely no. Since they are building sets in Abu Dhabi, though you might have missed that.

There is nothing that says that isn't Tatooine. They are in the desert anyway, and multiple desert locations all over the world were used to portray Tatooine in previous films.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
It's not a law that they HAVE to shoot Tatooine only in Tunisia. Abu has a more painted, dramatic look...maybe the director wanted a more romantic vision? Or maybe it's a different region of the planet we haven't seen before? Whatever the reason, I'd bet it's Tatooine. Mostly because, unless they intend to tint the dunes purple ala Star Trek V, prety much EVERY moviegoer is going to associate sand dunes with "that desert planet Luke is from". We may be nerds, but to a large portion of the audience, a new desert planet would be confusing.
If I remember correctly, didn't they do pickup shots for ANH in Death Valley?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
I know, right!
I went into Revenge of the Sith, all three times "knowing" this would be the very last time I would ever get to see a new Star Wars film on the big screen. Nine years later I am very glad that wasn't true

In Abrams case, it's not going to be the Star Wars fanfare. He's gonna replace it with another Beastie Boys song.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
With the news of Star Wars Rebels, Episode 7, new books, new comics, new games, is there a point in time when we can tell the Disney acquisition haters to suck it?

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
Theres a lot of negative Nancy's that will hate him no matter what or how good he makes the film. They need to grow up and realize that they are not being forced to watch it and nothing can ever take the originals away.Bring it on JJ.

The fact that you hate him already before youve seen a single shred of his movie proves my above statement.Your predetermined to hate it no matter what.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII
No, he'll just change them up and add all this useless crap that adds nothing to the film and go on record saying that the originals no longer exist. And it wasn't a case of poor management that the originals no longer exist, or that there was some studio fire or that they were stolen. It was literally a case of "We've altered the original sources for the special editions so they are permanently changed." He may not take the originals away, but he sure made it a lot harder to find and enjoy.
Oh, those were all lies by the way. The originals do exist because why would anyone in their right mind permanently alter the original negative when it can be used again for another remaster? Did they digitally erase the old CGI jabba out of the Special Edition of ANH and than digitally added the Episode 1 Jabba back in? Heck no.
