There have been reports today from Furious Fan Boys and Jedi Bibliothek about the name of the tropical planet which was first seen in the Rogue One teaser trailer. The planet is called Scarif.
This information was sourced from an upcoming Star Wars book and first tracked by Jedi Bibliothek. The untitled book also contained some description about Scarif. Of course it's time for me to highlight that those of you wanting to avoid any spoilers about Rogue One, please refrain from reading the section below.
SPOILERS!!!
Translated from German to English:
"The construction of the Death Star will take place on a secluded world called Scarif. This would be a tropical paradise if it were not for the great Imperial military establishment. Whole areas were removed to build ships and to provide the Death Star with material. And up in orbit is a huge dockng station that can accommodate several Imperial Star Destroyers. The world is shrouded in impenetrable deflector shields and heavily guarded."
It's interesting to learn that the Death Star's final construction took place on this mysterious planet. Why Scarif? Why have we never heard of this planet before? What is Scarif's significance? Is this where the Death Star was transported to, after it's initial construction on Geonosis?
More answers are to be revealed down the line, I am sure.
