Abrams names one of the planets on ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’

It’s a good day to be a Star Wars fan. Aside from getting the new trailer, J.J. Abrams gave a small tidbit for fans. He’s named one of the desert-like planets that will play an important role here in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. People initially assumed in the first production shots that it was Tatooine. Apparently, the new arid planet is called Jakku. The shooting locatin was in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Abrams won’t say anything beyond that though. It doesn’t matter though. We’re still excited.
