!? - I'd be suprised if such a restriction exists, AFAIK it would certainly
be a first for the IRTC to set such a rule on a theme.

To my mind "wilderness" is a subjective term anyway. A wilderness needs an
observer, either in the scene (the stormtroopers), or the viewer of the
picture (you), or both.

An ocean, a forest - these are things that exist whether we look at them or
not. "Wilderness" is much more to do with our perception of something,
rather than any underlying physical attribute of the thing itself. It is an
expression of our attitude towards a place, rather than a place of itself
(IMHO).
