Rian Johnson, director of the new film, employs this part of the spectrum for a specific reason, and we saw it prominently in the trailer, as speeders lined up in formation fly along the surface of a new world, dragging lines that rip up the scorched white surface into blood-colored plumes of ash.
EW has exclusively learned the name of this world is Crait.
According to Johnson, Crait is the site of an ”an old rebel base there that's now abandoned" and the planet was one of the first things he had in mind when planning The Last Jedi.
”It ends up playing a key role in the movie," he says, adding that the Resistance fighters — flying in the skimmers seen in the trailer — ”show up where they have to deal with a very pressing and immediate."
