So... The Bolivians right now are either loving or despising the Dakar rally as it passes through the country. Despising, due to the environmetal damage it does.

I know the planet's name is Crait where the scenes were filmed in the Bolivian salt plains, but they just left D'qar...

Lucas was bad enough in the prequels (EDIT: for toy pushing everything), but is this subliminal messages from the director? The ground "bleeds" red as they speed over it. Originally I thought it may be srponsored and ironic, but now I think he's trying to say something about the damage done.

Or it's just a coincidence...

The Dakar Rally ends in Dakar, Senegal. Which is in an entirely different continent than Bolivia.

Not sure there is much environmental impact in a rally going over mostly desert.

Amazing, everything you just wrote is wrong.

The Rally IS in South America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Dakar_Rally

Driving over desert DOES cause damage to sensitive habitats http://www.wildearthguardians.org/site/PageServer?pagename=priorities_wild_places_ORV_reform#.WlfeLZM-eRs

and I will NOT be the Last Jedi!

Wow... I had no idea they moved it to South America 8 years ago.
