Why Conquering Coruscant is Strategically Difficult

Backwater worlds are the soul of Star Wars. The very first planet we see is a backwater. If it makes you feel any better, the prequels were almos entirely in the core.

@@duncanmcgee13 they really werent, naboo, tatooine, Mustafar geonosis, and all of the battles shown in rots were all not in the core. The only core world even shown was coruscant

We really have been spoiled by the games, exploring cities like Nar Shadda and Coruscant, going through the deep seas of Manaan, Jedi and Sith ruins on Korriban and Tython, we've been able to see worlds much more than the film's have often shown. I will say for all the flaws of the Prequels the worlds were beautiful and different.

@@Julian-pw5mv Naboo is pretty close to the core, NGL.

@@11Survivor naboo is almost in the outer rim... it's not even close to the core

The Thrawn putting ships under the shield thing was druing the battle of Uqio, not coruscant. But Thrawn targeted Coruscant by deploying a number of Cloaked asteroids to force the planetary shield to stay up to avoid asteroids crashing into the planet.

@@gustavbonow5416 I guess i need to read the old Thrawn Trilogy again :)

@@Ptaaruonn you should. I should too.

Close but no thrown never got cloaks under the consent shield

Prince Otter Channel2 what do you mean, no? The Vong literally stomped the defences and Vongformed it inside of a week.

@@mitthrawnuruodo3632 Well cracking one of the moons and bombarding planet with rocks is quite easy :D

True

This is why the Vong were horribly written, badly designed enemies

Paerigos what about changing Coruscant into a massive jungle, when it used to be a planet spanning city? Or moving it closer to the sun? Or giving it a planetary ring? That isn't the easiest thing to do.

Justin McCoy um that make no sense but ok

@Randy Squeeze I would recommend Fallen Order. I've 100% completed it, and I really enjoyed it. I'd give it an 8/10. Kashyyk, the only forest world featured, is a little boring at times, particularly if you revisit it to pick up things you missed first time, but it has enough variety and looks good enough that boredom never lasts long. Each world is quite different. You explore a vast factory, a smaller factory and surrounding landscape, Kashyyk, a village/ Imperial digsite, Darth Maul's homeworld, and the icy Jedi Temple where the Kyber Crystals are found. There's plenty of variety, if that's what you're worried about. It also has the best lightsaber combat in any SW game to date, a story that is officially canon, and features an absolutly banging cantina song by the Mongolia power metal band The Hu.

@@Pro_Butcher_Amateur_Human, that sounds absolutely dope.

i love the city planets too i was sad to see hosnian prime get wiped off the star maps by the first order.

The black sandy planet from rogue one is cool.

Eventually so many buildings next to eachother end up supporting eachother. Spheres are structurally superior so it would be like a giant rubber band ball made out of buildings instead.

Prayers and 2x4's, friend, prayers and 2x4's. And some flex seal for good measure.

Even on Earth you can build on sand utilising concrete piles. So for a futuristic technological solution, perhaps Anti gravity technology. Speeders do it so why not buildings ? Imagine the foundation for each new level has no contact with what is below it. So instead of columns of concrete they instead use anti gravity. You wouldnt need much of a gap between these "Repulser Plates/Founds". Mere Microns of distance.

@Prince Otter Channel2 And also all sorts of horrible monsters

We always see floating platforms in Coruscant, maybe that's one way, also we don't know the composition of duracrete and durasteel, not to mention other building materials that could be found in thousands of different worlds with different sciences, it's an entire universe of mysteries

Or in non canon (Canon to me) Darth Malgus and his invasion of Coruscant that left the jedi temple laid to rubble and most senators dead.

I would love to see a series of stories about the years between episode six and seven.

@@judsonross6995 Personally for me. Im done with this whole era with the original characters. I love the era but for me its just starting to get stale. They are milking the skywalkers and its making them less interesting. I believe we need a new trilogy in a completely new era in history. Theres 100,000 years before the clone wars to highlight. Theres so much stuff during those periods that disney made non canon. I personally believe ALL of it is canon. Minus a few ridiculous god like moments. Give us the great hyperspace war in 5000bby, give us the great galactic war in 3000bby, or the fall of the sith empire and inevitable transition into the rule of two in 1000bby. Give us Revans story in movie form, Or we can go even further. Give us the Unification wars in 25,000bby after the fall of the rakata Infinite Empire, The first great schism in 20,000 bby and the formation of the first sith empire. the 100 year darkness and 2nd schism. Theres so much to do they dont need to make the skywalker era stale. Its fine where it is.

@@judsonross6995 it's called the Mandalorian lol

Then Disney just..pooped out "the whatever that was" trilogy.

Which begs the question. What's worse, living under an evil empire or under an incompetent new republic?

@@mattd2026 between the two, I'd rather take my chances in the care of Tusken Raider camp.

MattD hmmmm, is die in the hands of a pirate since the new republic can’t protect jack shit, and the empire will kill me unless I give them a reason to kill me, ngl, I’d take my chances with the empire, the new republic after the fall of the empire couldn’t manage jack, and since the new republic didn’t have the Jedi to do the peace keeping, the new republic had to rely on its heavy constricted militias which almost got fucked by the conflict between the criminal syndicates before the force awakens

I swear if the new republic decides to demilitarize AGAIN, after the events of the rise of skywalker, I will literally support any imperial remnant

@@heybeter9505 Amen to that.

The old republic needs a movie series. Theres so much history there. Im sick of the skywalker era. They are making it stale.

@@TalyTea As much as the old republic needs a series, they need to keep Kennedy far, far, far away from it.

@@shaydowsith348 Indeed

well thats the thing you don't conquer coruscant you conquer its supply worlds and drive the population to revolt and surrender.

Doesn't need to be conquered if its pummeled into submission. *laughs in High Gothic*

Horrible4 brother

T Spoon The mandalorians of the old republic could do it

Or why the Darth Malak method is far more preferable when dealing with enemy city-worlds if they don't surrender.

The vong won as the new republic wasnt ready for a vong invasion if they invaded during the empire when they had death star and the ssd they would have beeen destroyed by the empire

@@josh-kg1rb the new republic was also slow in their response to the initial invasion of the vong.

If the CIS had attacked coruscant at the peak of their power the republic wouldve been screwed, there would be a dozen battle droids for EVERY citizen on coruscant, it would just be completely ridiculous

@@gravytube4099 there is no reason to try and seize coruscant you just need to seize the supply worlds and you can starve it out without having to deal with the headache of trying to hold the citywide planet.

@@aikidodude05 i didnt mean it as they would ever need to, just if they REALLY had a good reason to go all out, but yea, its way better to just starve it out, even if all 6 major hyperlanes go right through it

Demo_the _man you just made every single German cry

@@riddlemethat4911 No you don't, and I'm happy that this time is no more

yeah man they were just so quite entering which is weird because the doors were suppose to be locked

For a Sith, that's pretty subtle.

If I'm not mistaken. The entry point where the ship crashed into the temple is the same that Anakin/Vader along with the 501st used to enter and massacare the people inside. Intresting that in RoTS we see those giant pilars before the doors and during sith attack those weren't there. My theory is that the Jedi installed those massive pilars after this incident to prevent a fking ship yeeting itself into the inner halls of the temple.

What Series lr game is this scene?

@@generaldurchbruchmuller7284 It's a trailer for Star Wars The Old Republic. Bioware's SW mmo.

And because there head of state was telling the other sides heads of military what to do

Fox is piece of shit

CT-5597 Jesse truer words have never been spoken...

@@CT-Jesse-nv2wi fox gets a lot of unnecessary hate

This system was made in order to be destroyed. "-Hey, why can't i rent my apartment during more than 6 months? -Because the entire system will be destroy in 6 months by the First Order. -What? The entire system? I suppose destroying systems is hard. -No, really easy, barely an inconvenient. -Destroying planets is tight."

@@Viguier89 lol

When I first saw TFA, I thought it was Coruscant that was blown up, and I was stunned for a few moments in the theater. As I was leaving I was ready to give the writers props for having the courage to blow it up, then I found out later I was someplace else entirely and I felt the emotional impact of the moment vanish

If you bothered to read the Aftermath trilogy, you would know that the capital planet of the New Republic was rotating and switched from planet to planet every few years

@@startrekker4596 Same, i was like "Did they just destroyed Coruscant and killed 1000 billions people just like that? And no one care?!"

I thought they won cos Jacen got all happy fun time with the World Brain ;)

Which is basically what happened to the C.I.S., too. The Seps spent a fuck ton of resources to pull that off, stripping one or more theaters of their forces to do so. This severely weakened them and, now that the GAR had new fleets and clones, the numerical disadvantage was no longer as crippling. Of course it was also because the war was fixed, but whatever.

@Prince Otter Channel2 fake battlefront?

Prince Otter Channel2 what the hell are you on about? Original poster is talking Duel of the Fates (the original name for Episode 9, not the Darth Maul fight song) concept art.

Yes. At this point, the whole planet was basically sustained by various weather and atmospheric systems for clearing pollution, puryfing air and keeping the climate sane and stable for the whole globe.

A shit ton and yes

I guess at that point Coruscant can effectively be called an enormous semi-artificial space station with atmosphere, rather then "habitable planet" in its traditional meaning. It completely relies on giant clusterfuck of various life support systems throughout the whole surface, and if they once happen to fail for a considerable amount of time - planet will quickly become a poisoned and desolated mechanical wasteland, where no one could survive without at least some kind of isolation suit

@@nickcher7071 welll in legends they actually discovered ancient fuckoff thrusters on coruscants surface apparently put there by one of the super ancient galactic civilizations

Ken Kaneki I was looking for someone else to say this lol

Me and the boys.x

Or just be like Malak and nuke it to death

Well speaking as a soldier it's an urban warfare nightmare. It's a planet roughly the size of Earth and it's covered in a planet wide city that's miles deep from the tallest building to the surface not to mention the subterranean levels.

@@aaronsanborn4291 Good thing is you would not have to go down to the lowest levels of the city since they are uninhabited and uninhabitable.

Janis Stradins never thought about that

An explanation we shall never recieve.

space magic

Coruscant is described as having numerous water and air purifiers as well as an extensive weather control system that allowed weather patterns to be manipulated on a planet wide scale. Most of the waste of these purifiers is said to be dumped in the lower levels of the planet making them uninhabitable.

Supposedly there's a lot of infrastructure that maintains it, oxygen plants, water processing facilities, I know in SWTOR part of the quests for Republic players is trying to repair the damage done by the Sith Empire's raid years before.

Derek Clinton It has many smaller shipyards.

Its just insane they cancelled that game.

RaidenNexus97 it’s actually pretty efficient because of its 3D highway system

Imagine working on one side & then going home to the other. 😂 It'll throw off your sleeping patterns. 🤣

Nx57ytre i absolutely whole heartedly agree, other alien species are not far off from humans mentally or emotionally i can expect anyone of those species to colonize and expand all over the galaxy and dominate like humans did in Canon imagine non-canon alternate universes where there are alien Empires all over the outer rim and mid rim to the edge of the core in pre-pius dea eras rivaling the Republic in sheer numbers, territory, resources and overall power such as sith, tugruta, zabraks, chiss, zeltrons ect other species

It is also an odd choice of vocabulary in general. "Best" species, most dominant or most expansive would have been a better fit.

@@uefets, you know Allen is just joking about the whole "human superiority" thing, right?

It's obvious it's really alien. Think about it, he is always going on about his humanity first message and aliens are scum, he is obviously compensating for his shame of being an alien himself, i think it's quite clear he is a clawdite posing as a human. I mean, even his fake name "allan" is basically rubbing it in our faces that he's an alien.

The battle of Coruscant already entered the time of Revenge of the Sith. I don’t think they’ll want to replay the entire movie, or even parts of the film, in animated format.

Ikr so random

*Gone.* *Vanished.* *Reduced to atoms.*

Probably integrated into the water supply.

Lol

Yes and no, 40k Hive worlds are made out of between one and dozens of individual hives with little more then blasted and poisoned bare earth, smog and railways between them. Individually far, far, more densely populated then even Coruscant but they rarely cover the entire planet. Truly old and wealthy Admech forgeworlds are far more likely to do this as are things like Holy Terra, I don't even think Ophelia IV (the capitol world of the Ecclesiarchy/church) covers the entire planet.
