The number one cause of death in pregnant women is murder. Think About That.

...oh.

You see Tatooine and Naboo and Coruscant in the prequels, Kamino and Geonosis and Utapau and Mustafar. Obi-Wan and Anakin throw out random names of planets three times a movie, coupled with a quip about something that happened there. There’s a whole, thriving galaxy out there that feels immediate because the characters know it, because they’ve been there and they remember it. And then… the OT. Luke has never left Tatooine. When he does, the first planet he sees is a smoking ruin. Dantooine, that Leia mentions, is abandoned. Han hasn’t touched his home planet of Corellia in years. Hoth is hidden and desolate. Dagobah is home only to one person. Bespin is out of the way, and also the only place Han, Leia, and Chewie have to go. The galaxy is cut off in the OT—darker and emptier. And it’s a total accident, but… it works anyways. The Empire has risen. The galaxy is splintered. Everyone is alone.

WE WON!
