To the OP who has been continually saying they took the "safe" route by making it an unknown place, I think that's actually very wrong.
The safe route IMO would have been to base it off known locales. They could just reference the existing movies/sets and build a replica of what has already been seen, and use a narrative that has already been written.
To build a new land NOT based on a specific location, but one they have to imagine from the ground up, create a brand new narrative for, and make it truly feel like it belongs in the universe of the source material is anything BUT safe, and extremely challenging IMO.
They created something new, and completely ran the risk of people crapping all over it saying "This isn't Star Wars!". But in the end from all of the reports I've read from people who have been, I haven't heard a single person say that "This doesn't feel like Star Wars".
