I go back and forth on the specific kind of poverty-line midwest americana that works best. Especially because my first instinct is to mash together Michigan (Rey running, a white shape flickering between those artificially-straight rows of pines) with Kentucky (Anakin Skywalker, rawboned and angry and first-generation to get out, dragging coal country and addiction and debt with him when he walks into the University of Louisville) with Indiana (Luke talking about his dad the combat vet while he works on an old junker up on cinderblocks in the front yard) and just not apologize for any of it.
except that there is definitely a scene where Luke, Leia, and Han are sitting on the hood of Han’s beat-up Ford Falcon with a six pack of cheap as shit beer and staring up at the undimmed stars.
