Coruscant deserves a dedicated TV series entirely set on the planet. From different perspectives; the poor, the extremely rich, the criminals and everyone else.
Yeah man but Disney wants to sell toys
If they had an interesting main protagonist they could possibly market it but if it’s like a documentary of many different perspectives they couldn’t have one main character
@@Djkarma-hl9iy So blame Disney for us not getting what we want?
I'm in.
We were going to get that with the cancelled Star Wars Underworld series.
Story about Bail Organa say I.
"Why wear clothes?" I'm staying with my parents...
Do your parents wear clothes?
@@FreeOpenTruth yes?
Trust me they seen it already, long before you knew what clothes were. 😋
@@FreeOpenTruth Most of the time, but they're occasionally forgetful. Imagine walking in on a Hutt.
casbott LMBO 😭
Imagine being a structural engineering inspector on Corescant.
Having to go into the lowest levels to make sure foundations are sound…and what about maintenance?
There is the constant low level risk that the whole city could collapse in on itself.
they have anti-gravity tech tho
That would be a nightmare of a job.. Make the droids do it hahaha!
Welcome to the Hive City. New here?
Imagine if there was a volcanic eruption .. which is exactly what happens at the end of the Fate of the Jedi series in Legends. Those foundations melted. The estimated death toll exceeded a billion people, and that was while the city was still burning.
Yogi Demis They probably did now that you think about it...
all you need to know is Coruscant’s main export. The only thing a population of that size is capable of producing in excessive quantity.
Fertilizer.
Explains why the government is there
“Fertilizer”
🤣
What if Doomguy could talk the whole time? But his mic was muted
🤯🤯🤯
He can. DooM Ethernal downright confirm that. He simply don't care to do that.
TheRezro he doesn’t care to unmute his mic you mean
@@smokestack3327 Possibly? He lived in alternative dimension for who know how long? Most people there didn't speak in his language and those who did, did have tentacles. So you know, not much occasions for conversations.
He looks like an Imperial Officer wearing a bath robe.
Small note: Coruscant is just in the Core, not the Deep Core. The Deep Core is even closer to the galactic center and is more inhospitable than parts of the Outer Rim.
The Walled City, I remember it. Flying over it and my grandfather took me close to it once. Imagining a planet that densely populated is horrifying. Just living in a regular housing estate in Kowloon was disturbingly claustrophobic.
You have to consider though that Courouscant has far more levels/stories so so the population denity in 3-dimensional space would be a lot lower.
Coruscant is my favorite Star Wars planet. I loved it since I've first seen it in The Phantom Menace.
Imagine trying to conquer the planet via street by street warfare.
No deal, core nuke it, death star, first order weapon. Whatever. No worth the street fight.
@@TheNoobsteakthe idea is conquer it, not destroy it.
They live in the Core, not Deep Core bro. But absolutely dope episode.
Breathable air is really the limiting factor especially in the lower levels as CO2 is heavier than air and will settle in low points. The scrubbers must work on space magic to take in the CO2 and release Oxygen. Even the best nuclear submarines and the Space station need to replenish their oxygen.
Turning CO2 into carbon products and Oxygen is not difficult provided you have energy - plants and plankton do it all the time. Clearly Coruscant has access to large power plants to run its artificial atmosphere.
Btw, if that planet has the same gravity as Earth, the scale height of air would be about 8500 m at room temperature. This means that 8500 m down the air would be a factor e denser. We can clearly see in the shows that the air pressure at the surface is quite pleasant, so it must be close to 1 bar. If that's true, 17km down, density would be e^2, which is 7.4 bar - enough that a human would narc out, and if you went down there, you would need to observe carfeul diving procedures or risk getting the bends when you go back up. Since people do after all live down there, I think it's likely they employ some pretty advanced global air management to prevent gasses and pressures from becoming unmanageable.
They would obviously also have to employ some pretty advanced energy management to get rid of excess heat.
Actually nuclear submarines use electrolysis to create oxygen and in theory could remain submerged until the nuclear rods were spent in 20-30 years(or you know, the crew starved to death because that's the primary reason submarines need to surface.)
I absolutely love you and your Channel! Not only do you cover aspects of Star Wars that you don't see anywhere else on UA-cam in such a informative and entertaining way but your sense of humour and personality are wonderfully refreshing in these extremely chaotic and uncertain times.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into this Channel and never stop being you (^~^)
Also, we don't just need a TV show or movie based on Coruscant we need Star Wars 1313 to come back 😒
Sci-fi is regularly very conservative in population numbers etc. I think it's genuinely hard to grasp the sheer amount of humanity that can fit on a planet sized object, or the sheer amount required to hold/take something such with conventional means.

Edit: thanks for 66 likes, it will be done my lord.
He should have popped up from below and started with "Hello There..."
TAKE A SEAT, NAKED MAN
jestucker Obviously from above.
Make that 88 mate, almost a shame for it to go beyond the holy number though
"Why wear clothes?" I live in an old drafty house and it is FREAKING COLD outside. And it' is seeping in.
Hey Allan, I love the underground of coruscant, could we get some more videos on life down there?
500k subs. Head for the next 500.000! Congratulations Generation Tech. 💪
What happened to the lowest levels during the yuuzhan vong invasion I wonder.
I'd say their prospects finally started looking up and their living prospects were brighter as a result.
Your one of the best if not thee best stat wars youtuber out there with your acting and way you go about your videos... salute to you sir. Keep up the great work. You should have like 5 million subscribers and similar views for for each video, the quality of your work and the amount of people that enjoy star wars on earth.
CONGRATULATIONS ON 5K 🥳🥳
GREAT VIDEO!
Congrats on 500k
Yay 500k great job on all the work you do :D
To be fair, while the new trilogy was an epic fail, the stand alones like Rogue One and Solo were really good, and The Mandalorian is epic as well.
But I agree, a movie or TV show about Coruscant would be awesome. I'd also take 1313. :)
I love your humor. It is fantastic. Like after 10 seconds of watching :-D
Wouldn't the air be pretty thin 5000 levels up for the original surface?
Yeah I'm p sure they had to artificial the atmosphere a little bit.
congrats to 500.000 subs :D
Coruscant is entirely dependent on external resources for sustainability. Raw materials for building and fabricating are imported from other planets. There are probably massive recycling and sewage reprocessing plants in the lower levels, but those could not support the massive population.
Ay congratulation on 500k subs!
Great video, I always wondered about this myself but was too lazy to even attempt to try to do the math.
Edited Again- this is your best video in years- way to go!
Edited- you got it!
What about post-industrial, low-population areas like The Works? Your analysis seems pretty spot on though- hard to argue there's only 1 trillion given this number. I suppose other questions would be how many tons of foodstuffs need to be imported daily. With repulsorlifts, droids, etc distribution is clearly super advanced. They also have an ocean, so they've probably got desalination tech up the wazoo
“Why wear cloths?” Because my wife’s boyfriend isn’t gay
Congratulation of 500000 subscribers!
Congratulations on that half a million subscribers
I wonder how condensed you could make hydroponic or equivalent tower blocks? And how much output they might need to supply nearby habitation towers with all the foodstuff they might need. A planet like Coruscant might be far more self-sufficient in food, water and waste treatment then meets the eye.... assuming everything is running properly. If not then you might start to get warhammer hive city levels of resource scarcity which is what the low levels of Coruscant sound like.
Could a Star Wars military (Expanded Universe version) beat back a Demon invasion from Doom's Hell since we seen demons like the Titans and the Icon of Sin in Doom Eternal?
And we saw how powerful the BFG 10,000 is able to heavily damage the surface of Mars likely having a explosive force in the thousands of teratons of force.
They'll be facing a whole galaxy. And the response would be rapid.
My roommate asking me why I'm refusing to wear pants.
Me: Allan told me its a stupid social construct I don't have to follow!
Roommate: He even said underwear?
Me: Well no he didn't mention...
Alan talks about passive-aggressive messaging by the Census Bureau.
*Video gets interrupted by passive-aggressive ad by the Census Bureau.*
Oh thank god, this time no raid shadow legends ad, yeez last time I thought he was joking bcs it's such a big meme
Why is there so little views? Congrats on 500K
Because the video came out 20 minutes ago, Time Traveller
What the heck? How did you write a comment 3 hour ago while the video is under an hour new?
Because its 8 a.m. CST on a Saturday morning! Everyone is or should still be sleeping! Wait..... Why the hell am I even up? Peace out, I'm going back to sleep.....
Yeah youtube is weird😂😂😂
Wtf is the low view count. Btw congrats on 500k subs.
I see this video as 20minutes old. Whats going on?!
@@alksi1 what the hell idek lol.
Isaac Arthur, anyone?
if you take into account the space setting, they could be importing massive shipments of food from elsewhere in the galaxy
Ty for your pandemic tips
i love this guy. he speaks with a factual authority that gives star wars more substance
Also one of my favorite places in Star Wars!
Yaaaaaa 500k subscribers
If you have cheap energy to power hydroponic farms, the main limit on population is waste heat. Sticking a giant shade (it can let visible light through and block infrared) between the planet and the sun helps, but eventually you'll wind up cooking yourselves. Installing space towers or orbital rings connected to the planet and pumping heat up to be dispersed into space with radiators might help, too, but that's a fairly inefficient way of disposing of heat.
Yes GENERAL ALLEN sir
General films.... you are a bold one
Hey can you do a video solely on the Tarkin Doctrine? Maybe a 10 flaws video?
My favorite Star Wars planet. So beautiful around sunset time. Just love being naked. Hate wearing clothes!
You are just telling me to do what I do anyway. Congrats on a great tip
How powerful would the BFG 10,000 in Doom Eternal be compared to other guns in Sci Fi like the UNSC ODPs, Imperium Nova cannons, Star Wars EU Turbolasers, and other deadly powerful weapons?
the Imperium of man is probly the only one here that can contend
IF we don't count things that are planet killers
10:41 (Cries in 1313)
I know this isnt related but in ROS when Poe Dameron is on that star destroyer thingy thing a stormtrooper shoots him as a moving target. that will go down in stormie history as the most sucessful shot in all of stormtrooper history
Amazing. Would there ever be a point where the planet couldn't support the weight and implode?
I love the idea of an undercity full of chuds and de-evolved cannibals. I'm hoping there will be something like that in Cyberpunk 2077.
I can see that the corascant weather net just importing water to the poles.
Yes it can and is indeed a very low number. The number of giant structures throughout the entire surface of the planet can each hold several million in their own right and there are most likely several million of those. You can easily arrive at at least 10trillion with substantial room to spare. And that's all just considering the top level because there are indeed a few thousand levels below them gong down 1000s of kilometsrs. Each with its own planet sized city with within them.
Yes, we need, I don't know a thing, like a game that take place only on Coruscant. And to not contradict established lore, it can take place on less known levels and to be edgy it could be level "666" or something with "13".
Trens Gemini or 1313?
yeah!!!! I do hope it don’t get cancelled or something
Marcus W that would be a terrible loss for us all
UnknownFury 7 yes totally!!!! A truly open world game, (not limited like fallen order) with dynamic adaptive game play, and random generated side missions..... no one would ever cancel that
Marcus W yeah no one... 😅😅
That intro music gave me flashbacks to jontron
Lol you have this video unlisted , love your channel though 👍🏻
I don't know about anyone else but Coruscant is my least favorite planet. There is no way I would live there. While I do live in a city, I still need to look at nature. So I would probably live on Naboo or Lothal.
Chris Woods I’ll take Dantooine from KOTR
Me Kashyyk.
bigredwolf6 It’s so beautiful, right?
Brad Morales Why? Wookies aren’t usually happy to see humans
Kamino for me. I'm from The Netherlands. We're used to weather circumstances like on Kamino. 😜
Finally sombody who speaks out what I‘ve been thinking all the time!
Dude, that walled city sounds like paradise. An anarchist utopia. That appeals to me a lot.
Coruscant was originally based on Trantor from Isaac Asimov’s books. Trantor is the capitol of a galactic empire that has ruled for well over ten thousand years. The surface is actually uninhabited and serves as a roof for the planetwide city, which doesn’t cover a several thousand square kilometer patch of land where the Imperial palace resides. The population is quoted at being 40 billion, which seems low for an ecumenopolis, but some have speculated this is due to much of the space being devoted to archives holding historical information from the empire’s long existence.
One interesting thing to note is that it generates it’s power from the temperature difference between the day and night side. At night, massive radiator towers extend hundreds of kilometers and retract during the day. The planet is said to look very dynamic as the towers rise and sink at the terminator.
In Colin Trevorrow's version of Episode 9 'Duel of the Fates', we would have visited Coruscant taken over by the First Order.
Wish we got this since this would actually help tie in all three trilogies.
Because nostalgia? So all that killing the First Order did, was so they could sit in the ruins of the former "capital", while having the populace turned against them, due to the extreme civillian casualties? There's lot's of business on Coruscant, but in the galactic economy, there is no money there - the hyperspacelane nexus is of little strategic significance to their military conquest, buying the Resistance decades to mount a force against them... All because they're sentimental of a system, that they don't believe in? (The Empire was politically "friendly", like the NCR, but the First Order is more like the Legion, in Fallout New Vegas, difference is that they both have just 1 top-dog). It was the Emperor who wanted Coruscant in order to piss on the Jedi, he didn't "make it the Imperial capital" for military reasons, the Senate was already there. If there hadn't been a significant Jedi Temple, he would probably have worked faster to disband the Senate, and make his stronghold somewhere in the mid-rim, where he could more easily choke the Rebellion. It doesn't really make sense.
@@philippeamon7271 well, I'm not saying Trevorrow's version of Ep 9 would have been better than what we got. It's just that it would have been nice to see Coruscant again. Because the Sequel Trilogy seemed to be lacking the Prequel sources.
Those robes are great.
Wow those are some crazy statistics🧐
Also it's Kowloon (pronounced cow-lune). I know because I'm in Hong Kong all the time. Favorite city in existence other than NYC and Coruscant.
As to your "Naked" question...I take care of my elderly Mother.
VIDEO IDEA: what happens when courisant gets a plague
Funny how this video came after Isaac Arthur's video "Trillion on Earth"....
Thank you for your videos they have brought peace meaning n something like a brother through the last Stephen King type of year. I love starwars and your videos are truly next level amazing!!! - gabe
fun fact: the kowloon walled city can be literally translated to the nine dragon city fortress
Question is where does the original surface of Coruscant begin?
Yes!
10:13 - "Massive amount of people died of affixiation". They were all stuck to the walls after the YV started weaponising superglue.
Or was it the dolphins???
I still want to know how the planet deals with the post office
Im not even joking its 2:47 am and im watching steroid wars theorys lol anyways epic vid
This is the way
If all of corusant is covered in 5000 plus levels doesn’t that mean that the planet is significantly larger than earth?
What was Corucsant like back in 50 million BBY?
The problem isn't fitting in all these people together, but rather to sustain them. This in turn, affect the living costs, which is likely astronomical even for the most deepest ones available. Then imagine the infrastructure that is a pre-requisite to keep this city running, and in essence, you will get similar picture to any terran planet, except surface is made of steel, warehouses, power production and every piece of support infrastructure will occupy somewhat similar size as oceans, operated by droids, so figure of single trillion is almost generous.
Thanks for the tip! I instantly burned rest of my clothes to not to get the temptation to wear them!
"Clothing is just a social construct." Tell that to people who live in the Arctic Circle lol :P
imagine a series based on coruscant!?
@1:42 if R2D2 had nightmares.
Where is all the views? Congrats of 500k surprised you haven’t hit million yet.
Look
Frankly
Coruscant should be able to support a population into the literal Quintillions of people. Megacities on Earth *now* would be able to support billions just building out, assuming they had the infrastructure necessary to do it. Coruscant is a planetary city that is also built vertically from the planets surface and up - this whole planet should have a population of many hundreds of trillions on just one of its levels, the lowest alone, prior to the Vong war. There is so much space in this city that if we are to believe it is all populated, it is indeed one PLANETARY CITY, a proper Ecumenpolis, then there should be Quadrillions of people on it.
imagine the horror if Starkiller Base fired it's laser at Coruscant instead of the Hosnian system
One of my questions is where do they get their water ?
Coruscant is a city-planet. Let's assume it has a surface area of the Earth (>500 000 000 km2) as it is just a little smaller than Earth. With it population of 1 trillion, the population density should be 2000 intelligent lifeforms/km2, which is pretty low compare to some of the city we have right here on Earth. For example, Manilla has a population density of 41,515 humans/km2, Paris has 20,755 humans/km2 (source from Wikipedia). Not only that, Coruscant consists of many underground floors and miles-high skycrapers so it could easily contain not only a trillion but trillions of humans and other intelligent lifeforms.
The problem is not housing but to provide essential services to its citizens.
Hey Generation Tech, could you do a video of if the Republic and Separatists can survive a Hell Invasion from Doom Eternal?
00:15, "what's going on outside", LMAO.
NOTHING was going on outside.
It was ALL going on INSIDE. People getting sick, people dying, domestic violence skyrocketing, divorce going up. I was outside almost Every Day of the lockdowns. It was as quiet as a mouse. No people, no traffic, no nothing, no problems. Everything was CLEAN. IT WAS GREAT.
What I don't understand about Coruscant is what actually _is_ the surface/ground level? Is it the ground where you can still see the sky? The "red light district" Obi-Wan and Anakin chase the assassin to in AOTC? Or the slums of the underworld? Is the underworld the planet's surface and everything else is built miles into the sky? Is the upper class living in what would be the height of commercial aircraft in the real world? Or is the underworld - the massive pits - holes literally bored through the surface into the ground and towards the planetary core? If that's the case, has Coruscant, as a planet, been rendered largely hollow?
I came here wondering if Coruscant imports all their food and exports all their waste. After the attack on Coruscant it would seem that the planet does not really have any defenses against massive ships as I didn't see anything like ion cannons on the surface that could disable a massive ship with a single hit like on Hoth which would mean that a blockade could kill everyone on Coruscant as they would starve and suffocate and drown in the massive amount of waste the planet must produce. The best way I can think of to sustain this city planet is to assume that it is much like earth since this is where humans started and it is of similar size and since Earth gets most of it's breathable air from photosynthesizing algae I think this would be the best option because it is also edible and the human waste could be used to fertilize it. With their far more advanced tech and ability to clone complex lifeforms with relative ease it would not be a stretch for them to have a super plant that is more efficient and custom tailored to sustain Coruscant, purifying the air and sustaining the people with food. So yeah if each building had a hydroponics floor, or several, then it could mean that Coruscant is at least somewhat self-sustaining even if only the poor underground were fed with algae it would explain how they are able to survive at all in the lower levels.
Goodbye pants
