I was surprised when I realised that Jakku was not the camp Rey was scavenging/living at but the name of the entire planet show grew up on. I had assumed early on in the movie she was on Tatooine as both other trilogies started there. Following that, I tried to keep track of the names of other planets shown and failed miserably. This is odd because I am familiar with most of the names of planets in the other trilogies.

What are the names of all of the planets shown in Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens?

Appearing as a planet in the film: (I tried to order in the chronology of being seen on screen)

  • Jakku

    The planet where Rey lived and the one we see at the start of the film

    New to canon. It was first mentioned in pre-sequel novel "Aftermath".

  • Takodana

    The "outlaw hangout" planet run by Maz Kanata and where the crew arrives

    New to canon.

  • Unnamed planet where

    Knights of Ren attacked in Rey's vision.

  • D'Qar

    The main base of the Resistance, where Leia is based

    New to canon. First appeared in Lost Stars book.

  • Unnamed "white world" planet that First Order

    turned into Starkiller weapon

  • Hosnian Prime - the current seat of the Republic

    destroyed

    New to canon.

  • 4 other unnamed planets in Hosnian system

    destroyed

  • Unnamed ocean planet at the end of the film where

    Luke Skywalker is hiding out

    As of right now, the screenplay sent to WGA calls it "AHCH-TO", which was confirmed by Pablo Hidalgo's "This is not canon twitter" account

Mentioned in the film:

  • Trillia (presumed to be a planet where Trillia Massacre occured)

  • Alderaan (in the context of its destruction - mentioned in novelization)

  • But that doesn't make sense, jakku was a desert planet. How is the very first planet jakku? It's a white planet, and by the looks of the scene, you're looking up at it as kylo Ren's ship passes over and the assault craft head down towards jakku. – Brett Bynes May 17 '17 at 11:54
  • Unless BB-8 jumped on some kind of transport, Jakku has to be the planet upon which was the base that was raided by the First Order. – Michael Richardson May 17 '17 at 13:23

According to Wookieepedia, the following planets are seen in The Force Awakens:

  • Jakku
  • Takadona
  • Hosnian Prime
  • D'Qar
  • Starkiller Base

(Assuming you consider Starkiller Base a planet, which is sort of is.)

  • From the article you cite: "R2-D2 suddenly awakes and reveals that he holds the map to Luke's location, with the only piece of the map missing being the one BB-8 was given by Poe. Together they complete the map and reveal the location of Ahch-To, the planet on which Luke Skywalker sought out the first Jedi Temple." – CigarDoug Jan 27 '16 at 19:56
