I still want a story set in the very bottom levels of Coruscant. There could be Rakghoul down there for all we know! 🤣
But we don't know it's Coruscant until the end when it does a zoom out Matrix style.
@@MrWebby93 I can imagine a star wars story set in like a cave world with neolithic people fighting with sharpened shrapnel against giant predators. Maybe following a young outcast who has a touch of the force and is feared for being a witch or something. Maybe the inciting incident is something falls from the sky like a lightsaber leading them to find the only working elevator and taking it up to the surface which to their people is practically the realm of the gods
@@cameronpearce5943 a purple lightsabre?
Part of the novel, Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter takes place at ground level on Coruscant. There are mutants down there.
@@JR-kx3jr literally just hit the epilouge of Plaugeis and was debating what to read next. This made my decision. 🤣
Coruscant is a major movie or series on its own.
A series most likely
We have that in Andor. Is that the style you'd be looking for?
I would love to see a comic or animated series set in the underworld of this place.
Cant wait for a story about Mace stomping around on the backs of Star Wars Kaiju in the lowest level now.
What I'm not clear on is how large each level is. Is it the single story of a building, or is it the "floor to ceiling cave" as we see 1313? Or a combination of both, or maybe sub-levels?
I’m also wondering about that!
I’m pretty sure it’s both. Some levels might just be one story in height while others like 1313 are quite large, with whole buildings fitting in it.
OK, this was still bugging me so I did some quick napkin math. The Burj Khalifa has 163 stories, top floor height 585m. If Coruscant followed the same proportions, level 5127 would be nearly 18.5 kilometers above the planet's surface, well into the stratosphere!
Sources indicate that each level has its own skyscrapers
Each level is the height of an Ewok no more no less 😂
I'm most interested in what appear to be ruins on level 2908 in that illustration there.
I love the idea that there are giant monsters on the lowest levels. Like even as the centre of galactic government, Coruscant is so damn big that there are parts so old and abandonned that they're harbouring the kind of monsters we usually see living in asteroids and caves on unsettled planets.
There's also this sense that the lives of those at the top and those deep below don't even mix at all. Like the entire rise and fall of the Empire may have passed unnoticed for those living on the lower levels. You can even imagine millions of beings who live their whole lives without ever seeing the surface or the sky which has some crazy dystopian implications.
I’d love to see an episode set on level 0 of the massive world. I really just wanna see just how nightmarish it is down there
Coruscant would be the perfect setting for a Dredd-style show. It would be the perfect way to mix the chaotic urban aesthetics of Coruscant with the violent gang wars and turf wars between criminals, locals, law enforcement, and the Empire/First Order (assuming it’s in the power vacuum after TROS).
Interesting lore implications here, The empire could've been relatively more popular on Core worlds like Coruscant in part because of the stark divide between organized high society on the upper levels and the sheer chaos below.
High crime could've made the imperial doctrine of authoritarianism attractive to Coruscant locals, or at least made them apathetic to that authority
Imagine if we got that sith shrine arc.
Aw man I want that so much. Maybe in the new Star Wars Legends animated shorts coming up?
Now that LucasArts has been restored as Lucasfilm Games I hope 1313 is resurrected.
im loving these shorter videos, it reminds me of when this channel was star war minute!
What all is known about the lower levels with monsters roaming around in the dark?
That sounds terrifying and has the potential for some great stories.
Coruscant's level system reminds me a lot of how it is on Kashyyyk with the bottom levels comparable to the Shadowlands
Ah, yes, Kashyyk, the similarly described planet in Legends that is even more blatantly contradicted in canon. There are tons of scenes in the current canon that depict people obviously walking on the surface of the planet itself without any mention of how rare or incredibly dangerous that should be according to the planet's description in Legends.
Why the heck were Clone Wars battles being partially fought on the surface at all?! Yoda's escape pod should've been destroyed by wild beasts long before he could reach it! Even the freakin' Bad Batch shouldn't be just marching across the surface like it's an ordinary thing to do!
okay, but are all the lower levels being shipped food from off world? or are there like, fungus farms or something that sustain the majority of the lower levels population
Yeah, that's how it's described in Legends with newer levels gradually being built over the older ones, but that is *not* how it's been depicted in canon! The prequel trilogy and "The Clone Wars" have always depicted Coruscant as a standard (other than covering most of the planet) city with normal skyscraper buildings that are too narrow to constitute entire levels and plenty of scenes that greatly appear to take place on or near the surface of the planet.
Makes me wonder how Leia and Holdo got to Level 4 so easily and in just an afternoon.
Thank you for this video.
Thanks, Alex! 🆙
Basically your typical Hive City from Warhammer 40K.
not really, a hive city has millions and maybe a couple billions. Galactic City has 1 trillion.
Coruscant is far beyond a hive city. We're talking about a planet that's populated almost down to the core. It's a hive planet.
Cool video. Tho, gotta say, comics are made by more people than the writer! At least mention the artist, Andrea DI Vito in the case of Star Wars (2020) #36.
Know I want to know what level 1 is like.
What goes on on floor 0/1?
Coruscant movie would be interesting in its own right. There is so much mystery behind it. Heck they could make a scary movie or video game from Level 1
I forgot that coresaunt was a planet wide city😂
13 is level we’re all crime boss is working
I just wanna know what the heck were those monsters.
Star Wars sources contradicting common sense isn't that surprising. You could make a whole video about sources using common sense and then later source saying nonsense that gets canonized because nonsense got repeated in multiple sources unlike the common sense answer.
He's done this several times.
Remake this to be at least 7 hours minimum in explaining these levels step-son
Dude I was hoping for surface content too 😭
I’m curious what’s on level 1138 🤔
wait, so just to be clear, the lowest level is number one?
I believe so yes
I believe so yes
After watching this, I have to rewach beginning of attack of the clones ✌️
👍
You are allowed to make longer videos on UA-cam. Good content. Just would love to see longer content!!
Ok so lets say there are 5000 levels and each one is say 3 meters high, this means that the top levels are 15,000 meters into the sky. How are people breathing 15 km up in the atmosphere? Even at each level being 1 meter high this is still really high up. This makes no sense. there are far too many levels. 200 -300 makes more sense and still allows for lots of adventures. The fiction here is strong but the science is certainly lacking!
It was implied by the cancelled game 1313 and the promoting Clone Wars episode way back before Disney took over that every level is the entire city level. So we're talking about thousands of kilometers of city here. Level 5000 would be roughly at sea level then. So a breathable atmosphere would be the least of the scientific concerns for Coruscant. The waste heat from a planet-sized city would be equal or greater than all the nuclear weapons on Earth combined detonating every second most likely.
There's no way you can explain me in 2:30 minutes how an Ecunemopolis work, sorry.
