      The reason both the game and show had to be canceled was because they were actual good ideas and Disney Star Wars isn’t allowed any of that. Mandalorian and Clone wars got through the cracks because Faverou must of had some pull from marvel with the Former and they needed a W after the hell they brought with last jedi for the latter.

      Due to the presence of the Jedi order being stationed there throughout most of Star Wars history this kept the planet more so leaning towards the light. However in the words of Darth Plagueis the underworld activity kept Coruscant from being as strong in the Light as Korriban was in the Dark. Plus this was before the Vong and Abeloth.

    Has there ever been an explanation given as to how the whole superstructure of Coruscant has remained standing? If the lowest levels of Coruscant have been abandoned for thousands of years with no upkeep, how have those areas, the very foundations of the higher levels, remained structurally sound and stable all this time? Likewise, if massive parts of the undercity are destroyed by supervolcanos, shouldn't everything above those areas on the surface just collapse into a giant hellpit?

      If they decreased the levels burrowing down away from the surface (or rather, rising away from it) and focused their construction efforts downwards, they'd get rid of a lot of issues in the long run, from socio-political discontent to the levels of waste and waste heat that's produced by the planet and its denizens and has to be disposed of.

  • @luckerhdd3929

    Some people see Coruscant as a great planet with high advanced city where elites live and everything important happens... But I can only see Coruscant as a parfect definition of dystopia. It's an infinite giant decomposing hell. A cesspit of the galaxy.
    Also there are several things I really wonder about. When was the corrent surface level constructed? What about senate building and other major facilities? Did they always move them to the new surface level or they just built the new ones and abandoned the old? In my opinion giving Coruscant thousands of levels was bit too much and it causes big trouble and many holes in logic. Also the population of 3 TRILLION is extremely underestimated.

    I've always wondered how with thousands of levels built one on top of the other over millions of years the base levels near the surface of coruscant haven't collapsed and the whole city structure crumbled? That's without factoring in all the wars and massive space ships crashing into the planet knocking out support structures.
    Also if they have built that high into the atmosphere of coruscant wouldn't there be a lack of oxygen, or are they artificially creating oxygen for everyone to breathe on the uppermost levels of the planet?

They shouldn't forget that the Empire under Palpatine is still the main enemy in SW, whether it's Legends or Canon and they are ment to be the worst, it was at Endor where the ultimate fate of the Galaxy was decided, not Yuuzhan'tar (the Vong in fact were doomed from the beginning, they could never win). And all the chaos tye Galaxy endured after Endor was essentially the price to pay for overthrowing Palpatine and disintegration of the Empire. But the price was worth it or else the meaning of the movies themselves is undermined, which I doubt was evwr the goal of any writer.

    It's mind boggling to think of a city like this. An ecumenopolis. Over 5000 levels, built up over a period of 50-100 thousand years covering the entire planet. The lower levels _would_ be extremely hazardous. Our planet is gradually moving in this direction, every day I see "development" spreading, and the areas that are already developed gradually start building higher. Ancient cities were built in layers like this, it's just crazy to imagine this on a 100,000 year timespan, provided the technology exists to keep these buildings stable. They must be in the upper atmosphere by now

    It's funny, for all the crazy shit Abeloth does in Fate of the Jedi, the overwhelming gap in power really hit me when she casually started multiple volcanic eruptions, on Corruscant of all places, with absolutely no effort. You can know someone's a nigh-all-powerful force god, but I'll be damned if scenes like that don't drive the point home.

    This is called a "Birch Planet". It was proposed as a concept by Paul Birch in the early 90's. It is basically a shell planet that needs, in its most extreme iteration, a black hole at its center to provide 1g gravity (becaus the hollowed out shell planet does not have enough mass to produce it on its own, also the different shells would otherwise experience wildly different g-forces the deeper they go).

    • @eds1942
      @eds1942 4 роки тому +22

      The compressive forces of the towers and city scape is diffused across the surface of massive city blocks (which houses more city and infrastructure), the compressive forces from those blocks are diffused by resting on even larger blocks which diffuse the weight across the entire surface of planet. Overtime, the lowest levels are compressed into a new planetary crust. Active support systems (such as repulser lifts or magma pumps) are used to alleviate some of the stress in certain situations. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of the buildings were mobile or even space worthy either.

    I penned a Star Wars D&D 5e campaign called Descent Into Coruscant, which was a campaign set just after the Yuzhan Vong invasion of Coruscant, which had players investigate a new cult sewing chaos across the galaxy from the isolated reaches of the lowest levels of the planet. It featured this concept of the Yuzhan Vong essentially corrupting the Force. Obviously, creative liberties were taken, but I felt that the setting beneath Coruscant was too good a landscape not to freely explore. Didn't get beyond a rough draft of the campaign, but hopefully my players will want to do that after we finish our current 5e experience.

      Most likely? Guarded by the Jedi for some time, maybe 100 ish years, strictly restricted area and eventually abandoned. Tombs and Sith buildings destroyed or buried, planets removed from star charts, or at least forgotten by the general populace of the galaxy, with more time passing eventually by most who were not Sith themselfs
