** Much of the movie takes place in and around the scrapyards of Jakku, where characters are constantly surrounded by the massive, rusted-out wreckage of the iconic spaceships from the Original Trilogy, which stand as lasting relics of a massive battle that took place decades ago. This is pretty obviously symbolic of the massive legacy of the Original Trilogy itself, which ''still'' casts a massive shadow over the entire film industry, despite ending three decades ago; even the scavengers, who eke out a living combing the wreckage for fresh parts, are clearly representative of the fans who kept coming back to the movies, and [[ExpandedUniverse could always spin new stories from their tiniest background details]]. When one of those rusted-out relics--the ''Millennium Falcon''--finally takes off for a new destination, it's symbolic of the saga's resurrection.

This is due to a new brand of practical special effects. The lightsabers the actors wield are larger and heavier than in the prequel, and for the first time in the trilogy are lighted, which not only means realistic light and shadows cast by the sabers, but extra weight in the swords.
