no I think Anakin was the chosen one and these movies are for children

What do they eat?

Hopefully Disney will finish filming all of those 370 stories before I die.

>>211994002
lower Coruscant levels they eat space slop and nutritional packs made from mass producible items like alien shit probably.
Upper levels has more consumable stuff like noodles and alien cattle meat, Dex's Diner probably good shit if Obiwan goes there a lot

>>211994002
There were entire planets devoted to exporting foodstuffs to the Core Worlds, like Rethya, Chandrila, Ukio, Mina-Rau, etc. The Galaxy was very much globalized and trade-dependent which is why blockades and the CIS were a big deal.

Coruscant is possibly my favorite planet in Star Wars so maybe I can answer this.

There’s just something so compelling about a city (I may be a bit biased as a lifelong urban dweller lol) in terms of being able to tell a wide range of stories that might interact with each other. Plus cities tend to be gathering places for a very diverse array of people, gathering for trade and travel.

Now multiply this storytelling potential by a factor of thousands, thanks to having a planetwide city that attracts people/cultures from all over the galaxy.

Plus it has one of the most unique and beautiful looks in Star Wars: a glittering ecumenopolis, with luxurious citadels in the sky, seedy underworlds in the shadows, quiet and mysterious industrial zones (as seen when Dooku meets Palpatine at the end of AOTC), and probably many more kinds of neighborhoods.

It’s even implied in some works that there are pockets of settlements buried so deep under Coruscant’s cityscape—in places where the only lights are neon—that they have been forgotten by the galaxy at large, and are essentially secret neighborhoods carrying on alone as almost completely separate mini-civilizations…..right beneath the feet of everyone in the galactic capital! Now THAT’S some very interesting story potential!!! It would’ve been great if that 1313 game had come out and explored this, as originally planned.

We see Obi-Wan and Anakin travel through nightclubs, diners, and superhighways in the sky when they’re on Coruscant. It’s amazing!

One of my gripes about the Sequel Trilogy is that we never got to see Luke and Leia walking the halls of power on Coruscant in the calm before the storm of the First Order’s uprising. It would’ve been really cool to see what Sequel era Coruscant is like, especially with modern special effects.

Nice AI post fag.

>>211994002
Tight twilek box

I’ve still got a book that has cross sections of the locations from attack of the clones, it briefly mentions that dexters place (and others like it) can detach and move somewhere else if needed (to avoid health inspectors most likely)

>>211999638
Worse. It's r*ddit.

>>211999823
it was genetic conditioning, order 66 wasn't even a real order, it was entirely clandestine, a code word to trigger a pre-programmed automatic response in every single clone to murder every jedi. they might not even have been aware they were doing it.

>>211999854
its like when you go to the burger king you haven't been in a year and it's just gone, the whole building is gone.

>>212000187
Exactly but later on you find the same restaurant and the same person running it 100 miles away when your visiting another part of the city

>>212000342
it's the EXACT same building
actually this would be a great Black Mirror episode. play it completely straight, but it's the same building. resist the urge for a twist. it's eerie as fuck.

>>212000432
Now it isn’t clear if it’s just the building itself that moves or if some of the platform around it also moves both might be inconvenient if customers are still present

>>211993733 (OP)
2.9 trillion stories in the naked city...

>>212001460
it moves when there is no one present. a restaurant can close for the evening. not every diner is 24 hours, many open at breakfast time.
the manager acknowledges that he moved locations but he doesn't think it's the same building. even when it's pointed out it has the exact same layout, can point out it's orientation has changed, and besides, in his own memories he remembers the old store being different. he also has memories of moving into the building, fuck, he wa spending days in both building and never noticed this so it can't be true. customers also dispute it's the same building, everyone believes quite reasonably it's obviously can't be the same building. the old one was demolished because it was old or because of gentrified redevelopment.
the hapless person, our Black Mirror celebrity victim, has a strong photographic memory and notices several details that line up with their recollection. in fact the episode will open with the hapless person going to the restaurant before it moved, and we'll get establishing shots of a ceiling fan the wobbles a certain way, or a crack in the wall with a distinctive shape, so when we see these things AGAIN we are in firm agreement it's the same building.
the episode is the person making their case to people in the diner, first jovially and offhandedly, growing more insistent, until they become a nuisance and get tossed out. but you shoot it so it's all very eerie and weird, it would be an exercise in spooky cinematography. spooky diner in the middle of the day cinematography, i guess.

>>212001766
there's a patron of the diner who overhears this and gets pissed off, he confronts the hapless person and says he was in the crew that knocked down the old diner. he remembers demolishing it. what he doesn't mention is how that entire event was spooky city and he cannot explain the weird shit he saw when he was "dismantling a building" if that was what it was at all.

“The whole planet is one big city.”

The levels of depth that one line has. I mean think about it, you have the ENTIRE planet being a city! Areas from industrial, government districts, slums, rich neighborhoods, etc. So many places for storytelling and the worldbuilding is nuts. Especially when they revealed there are thousands of levels to the cities!

>>211993733 (OP)

>>211994375
dex would be a trillionaire for the real estate worth of a topside building on a planet of trillion citizens on thousands of levels

>>211993733 (OP)
On paper yes, however, Star Wars is presented in very centralised way and it leaves no room for branching out

>>211993733 (OP)
The population should be much much higher than that. Think about it. The entire surface of Coruscant is covered with hundreds of layers of budlings, the ENTIRE surface. The vast majority of Earth's surface does not have any human settlements on it. We occupy maybe 1% at most. It's stupid to claim Coruscant's population is just 370x that of earth. Should be more like 37000x that of earth or even more.

Why do people have a problem in space fantasy with a planet covered by city when they are ok with the concept of the death star, a planet that is 100% city?

>>211995144
>>211995044

If Coruscant imports all that food, thus making the planet heavier, does Coruscant export shit to balance it out?
What are the tariffs on prime grade upper level shit these days?

>>211994002
Bugs

>>212005311
the feces gets sent back to the farm planets for fertilizer in exchange for the food. It's a win-win situation.

>>211994002
If it is analogous to Rome after the empire got too big for its own good then they import all their food and export all their shit. But they got zero gravity and kyber crystals and faster than light travel so they should be able to use some super technology the explanation of which isn't important to the plot to take care of all the infrastructure upkeep and food distribution.

>>212005311
Coruscant is the capital, it has serviced based economy and prints a lot of money

>>211998882
That Diner is like eating out at one of those Harry Potter themed bars in Universal Studios or at Salt Bae's Dubai restaurant or something like that. Yes it must be incredibly expensive, it's a thematic restaurant sitting on one of the most prime pieces of real estate in the planet.

That doesn't make it unrealistic btw, because in real life people were lining up to eat Salt Bae's gold-lined steaks it's the same shit.

>>211999823

>>212002906
Yes they imported foodstuffs from thousands of planets and also sent their waste to junkyard worlds, that's literally canon anon.

Vulptereen for example was a junkyard world bought by the Trade Federation just to dump trash there.

>>211993806
>these movies are for children
i cant deny it anymore. im not even a star wars fan, just assumed there had to be more to the franchise or it wouldnt be so popular. but everything makes sense if its just kids movies.

>>212002906
I don't think there is anything I hate more than the umm akshully faggots whining about how the fantasy space setting doesn't work within the confines of society's current tech level.
They can jump through "hyperspace" but tech to massively improve not only food production, but general societal problems like waste is apparently infeasible.

>>212002942
He made his money prospecting in the uncharted territories in the galaxy. And probably with some information trading, like knowing the Kaminoens and their cloning capabilities.

I feel like that needs an extra 0 if not 2 extra 0s

>>211993733 (OP)
>Do you think there were 370 other equally compelling storylines
There were millions
Don't think Disney can conjure up enough creativity to tell those stories, though

>>211993733 (OP)
>WOW WHAT AN AMAZING FACT ABOUT SOMETHING ENTIRELY MADE UP

Who fucking cares, they could say the population is 6 quadrillion and it'd be just as meaningless.

I can't believe people waste so much brain space acquiring in depth knowledge about fictional universes that have no practical use in reality.

>>212010469
It's interesting when a story is consistent, like The Lord of the Rings, which has clear rules and internal logic. Star Wars, however, is inconsistent and illogical.

>>212010287
This is the densest population earth ever had.
If any /pol/fags remember the Kowloon threads, it was quite a place

This population density would leave Earth with 630 trillion people

>>212010519
It was total anarchy so the apartments grew into each other as more was built, forming a giant "mass" of rooms upon rooms. Somewhat like Coruscant, but really poor

>>212010583
Imagine if Coruscant was like this. That would be awesome. Just total anarchy, buildings upon buildings. More bridges and more levels being constructed at random. Everyone racing to the sky so they can have the tallest tower. The shady underworld of the street-level shrouded in darkness

>>212010853
Why would Coruscant be like that? It's either a capital of benevolent republic where everyone is happy or of authoritarian empire. SW lore is retarded time loop

>>212010902
Anon the Old Republic was weird and dysfunctional as fuck that's why it failed. Star Wars was always kinda dystopian.

Your choice was between a corrupt oligarchic republic ran by corrupt corporations, guilds and trading cartels or a totalitarian empire that just stomped over everyone that wasn't part of the bureaucracy.

The New Republic was supposed to build back better and address the faults of the original Republic but alas Disney robbed us of the chance to see this.

Regardless places like Coruscant are always going to be a shithole because the idea of a planet spanning city is dystopian in itself.

>>212011013
>Regardless places like Coruscant are always going to be a shithole because the idea of a planet spanning city is dystopian in itself.
Correct, Frank Herbert was ecologist and wrote Kaitain and Giedi Prime as a warning

>>212011060
Yes, Lucas clearly has the same idea the contrast between Naboo or Alderaan or Mon Calamari (utopian planets with care for the environment and careful development) and places like Nar Shadaa, Coruscant or Corellia couldn't be more obvious.

But at some point people begun simping for the cyberpunk dystopian look not realizing it was a cautionary tale of what not to do.

Grim.

>>212011223
Coruscant was not portrayed in negative light in Lucas movies

>>212012101
Yes it was.

We mostly see the nicer upper parts where Senators and the elites live but when Anakin goes to find the bounty hunter on Ep. II he goes down to the mid levels where you see dirtier streets, seedy bars, deathstick vendors, etc.

We also see Dooku park his sail ship on a run down industrial area.

And this ugly side of Coruscant, was also considered part of the nicer upper-mid levels of Coruscant, in the EU there were even seedier levels below, some of which were lawless and completely taken over gangs, even lower it was not inhabitable and wild animals and mutants were a danger.

EU counts because Lucas approved all that shit btw. But even on Ep II we got a glimpse below the nicer areas.

Coruscant has trillions and trillions of people.
So couldn't you just like....murder people? Like you could just randomly kill people. Who's gonna catch you? There's so many humans, one looks like another.
Never in the star wars universe do we see facial recognition technology, or anything of that sort. In fact people do get randomly murdered multiple times and people don't bat much of an eye

>>212012663
It's like a concrete wild jungle.

Yes the central government whether Republic or Empire does not have control over the lower levels of Coruscant, there's literal gangs running things, sectors with no law enforcement, no social services and no republic/empire presence at all.

I can't recall which game it was (I think it was the Episode I PS game?) but there it was stated that maintenance crews from the Republic would basically go down to the lower levels all geared up and with armed escorts, fix whatever shit needed to be fixed (ie a power generator), seal the area against future intruders and return back up. But basically the lower you went fewer people lived and the more lawless it was.

You could kill someone there and the body would never even be found, it's like killing someone deep in the Amazon jungle.
