The salt flat that could not look like Hoth

Rian Johnson wanted the last battle of The Last Jedi fought on white ground, and white ground already had a history. Snow, production designer Rick Heinrichs told American Cinematographer, would have hewn a little too closely to Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back ^[18]. He pushed for a dry lake bed instead, and the search ended at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the largest salt flat in the world ^[18]. ILM's visual effects supervisor Ben Morris took a crew up there, about 12,500 feet above sea level, and a couple of their helicopters broke down ^[19]. They shot for three days, and some of those plates got into the movie ^[19]. The sets themselves went up on the back lot at Pinewood ^[18]. According to Morris, the trench was a full build in white salt, 200 feet on each side and raised eight feet off the ground ^[19]. Its red explosions were mulched, shredded red paper mixed with water ^[19]. Johnson always wanted it redder ^[19]. The walker on the front of the mug (3) already has its feet in the red.

The mug does not label its drawings, so connecting this one to the story is our reading.

What's on the mug

1
CRAIT lettering
CRAIT in orange capitals on a black circle at the middle of the front. Crait is the salt-covered mineral planet where the surviving Resistance makes its stand in Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017).^[1]^[2]
2
Rey lifting rocks with the Force
A slim figure in blue and grey wrapped robes with a dark belt and shoulder-length dark hair stands in the black circle, one arm held out, with grey and blue rocks floating around her. This matches Rey: the official databank shows her using the Force to lift heavy boulders and says she saved the Resistance on Crait. The mug doesn't name her.^[3]
3
First Order AT-M6 walker
A huge grey and white four-legged machine with a low, boxy head, a gun barrel at the front and a body that rises towards a high back strides to the left, away from the handle, its feet on orange-red ground. The hunched, head-down profile and the heavy, armoured front legs fit the AT-M6, the First Order walker introduced in The Last Jedi, whose designer describes very high shoulders and very heavily armoured front legs; the drawing is stylised, so the big cannon on its back is not drawn in detail. The mug doesn't name it.^[15]^[16]
4
First Order TIE fighters
Two grey ships, each a round cockpit with a red window between two large hexagonal wing panels lined in blue and orange, hang at the left of the front; the same pair shows at the right edge of the side photo. The ball cockpit and hexagonal panels are the TIE fighter design, which the First Order keeps in service; in the film TIE fighters chase the Millennium Falcon over Crait. The mug doesn't name them.^[1]^[5]^[6]
5
First Order emblem
A black hexagon with a ring and radiating spokes at its centre sits above the walker's back, next to the handle. It is the emblem of the First Order, the side attacking the Resistance on Crait. The mug doesn't label it.^[7]
6
Jagged ridge
A long ridge of jagged grey and white rock with blue shading rises at the bottom of the circle, with pale clouds above it and orange-red ground in front. It is not drawn as any one named place.
7
BB-8 Side view
A round droid with a white ball body ringed in orange, a small domed head with dark lenses and a thin antenna stands at the left of the side. A ball body with a separate domed head is BB-8, the Resistance astromech droid seen in The Last Jedi. The mug doesn't name it.^[9]
8
Resistance emblem Side view
An orange starbird, a ring broken at the top with a bird shape rising through the gap, is printed at the top middle of the side. The starbird was the Rebel Alliance's symbol, and the Resistance, the side defending the old rebel base on Crait, carries it on in this orange version. The mug doesn't label it.^[8]^[17]^[4]
9
Vulptex (crystal fox) Side view
A fox-like animal in pale blue and white, its coat drawn as many small spiky bristles with dark blue marks and a bushy tail, stands side-on in front of the orange emblem with its head turned left. This matches the vulptex, a fox-like creature with a coat of crystalline bristles that lives in the abandoned rebel base on Crait. The mug doesn't name it.^[10]
10
Woman in a long grey coat (possibly General Leia Organa) Side view
A woman in a long grey coat with dark lining and an orange cuff, her hair coiled at the back of the head and an orange earring, rests both hands on a pale blue staff at the right of the side. She may be General Leia Organa, who leads the Resistance to Crait in the film, but the drawing has no feature that settles it. The mug doesn't name her.^[2]
11
Red ground under white salt Side view
Rolling ground in orange-red and pale grey with blue dots covers the bottom of the side, with small red specks thrown up near the animal's feet. Crait is described as a mineral world covered in white salt over red soil, so these colours look like a reference to its surface; the mug does not say so.^[2]^[4]
12
Kylo Ren with a red lightsaber Side view
A dark-haired figure in a grey jacket and black trousers points a red blade to the left, sparks flying at the hilt, on a grey patch. This is the right-hand figure of the face-off on the back (16), seen again at the left edge of the side photo: Kylo Ren, whose red lightsaber has a crossguard. The mug doesn't name him.^[1]^[12]
13
Resistance ski speeder Side view
A low blue-and-white vehicle, cut off by the left edge of the photo, with dark window panels and a long strut running down to the ground sits at the lower left of the side. The low body and the strut that touches the ground fit the Resistance ski speeders that attack the First Order on Crait; the official entry says they use a stabilizer strut to keep their balance. The mug doesn't name it.^[1]^[11]
14
STARBUCKS wordmark Back view
STARBUCKS is printed vertically in dark capitals just beside the handle.
15
Millennium Falcon Back view
A wide grey and white saucer-shaped ship with a round cockpit set off to one side, two prongs at the front and orange patches sits at the left of the back. The offset cockpit and the twin front prongs on a flying-saucer body are the Millennium Falcon, which Rey and Chewbacca fly to Crait and on which the survivors escape. The mug doesn't name it.^[1]^[13]
16
Luke Skywalker facing Kylo Ren Back view
A bearded, long-haired man in a long blue robe with orange lining holds a pale blue lightsaber pointing down, facing Kylo Ren (12), who aims a red blade at him across a grey patch. This is the closing duel on Crait, where Luke turns out to be a projection through the Force rather than present in person. The mug doesn't name them.^[1]^[14]
17
Resistance ski speeder (back view) Back view
The same blue-and-white ski speeder (13) appears again at the lower right of the back, with its long strut trailing to the left and a patch of orange-red ground behind it.^[11]

No date, edition or capacity is printed in the photos, and the base is not shown. Nothing on the mug names any of the characters, ships or creatures.

Collector notes

The mug is held in a dark grey gloved hand in all three photos and photographed against a pale blue-white background; the glove is not part of the mug.
The scenes wrap round the whole mug and carry across the photo edges: the round droid and the figure aiming a red beam sit at the left of the side photo and again at the right of the back photo, and the hexagonal-winged fighters at the right of the side photo are the same ones at the left of the front, so check all three views before judging a listing.
The black circle behind the lettering is plain black, not dark green as on most Discovery Series mugs, and the ground at the bottom is orange-red and white. Both are quick ways to tell it from other mugs in the series.
The back carries STARBUCKS in a vertical line beside the handle, with a grey ship and a face-off between two figures. Read the lettering in the circle (CRAIT) before buying, because the same drawing style runs through the Star Wars figures and ships on the whole mug.

Before you buy

The photos show no date, edition or capacity, and the base is not shown, so ask the seller for a picture of the underside. The circle behind CRAIT is plain black rather than the dark green of most Discovery Series mugs, and the ground is orange-red and white: two quick ways to tell it from other mugs in the series.
