In line with speculations circling Luke Skywalker in J.J. Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," the name of Jedi's planet has been revealed.
Skywalker is located in the planet, called Ahch-To, according to Comic Book. It is reportedly contained in the script and the junior novelization. In addition, Lucasfilm's Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo affirmed it on social media.
On Dec. 31, Hidalgo tweeted that if one could see the WGA script, the name of the planet from the conclusion of Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" was there.
It is also revealed in the junior novelization that the First Jedi Temple is in Ahch-To. While it is noted that Skywalker found the planet, it is unclear as to whether he had found what he had been looking for and why he had never left the place.
Although not much had been revealed about Skywalker in Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens," it is assumed that his role would be pivotal in Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: Episode VII." According to Cinema Blend, the eight "Star Wars" film is also assumed to reveal what had happened to Ben Solo, in addition to Skywalker's life.
"Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" grossed more than $247 million in its opening weekend after its release on Dec. 18 in 4,134 theater chains. The space sci-fi film grossed more than $742 million locally and more than $770 million in other countries, which account to more than $1.5 billion.
Set 30 years after the events in the "Return of Jedi," "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" stars Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Gwendoline Christie, Max von Sydow, Simon Pegg, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson, among others.
Abrams' "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens" is still showing in theaters while Johnson's "Star Wars: Episode VIII" hits theaters on May 26, 2017.
