What the f was Coruscant like during the original trilogy? Other than the fact that it wasn't made by George Lucas back in 1977-1983? There needs to be some info about it's status during the galactic empire and civil war.
What the f was Coruscant like during the original trilogy...
During the OT it was a planet-wide city controlled by the empire.
In the PT Coruscant was a palent-wide city with the senate and Jedi temple on it.
Now for the OT imagine that same thing but with no senate or Jedi. Probably encountered a slight economic decline in the main governmental area(s) too as a result, but it's still an entire fucking planet of Manhattan 5000.
It's not like anything interesting happened there during the prequels.
So are their cities only on land or do they have underwater too or did they completely fucked with the ocean, the salty bitch? Also, how deep do these cities go?
I really hate to use this excuse, but just don't think about it too much
They may have called it a city covering the entire planet, but we only ever see a tiny part of it. Just assume it's a really big city on an otherwise normal planet.
Oh, I'm not OP. I'm just curious about it. Thinking about the logistical nightmare of trying to run a city this big, the culture and crime. You could write a whole series about the damn thing and one wouldn't even be able to skim the surface.
it's like blade runner it rains everywhere and theres things that make loud vroom sounds all the time
Oh absolutely, just think about the light polution alone. Even in the dead of night the sky would still be lit up like dusk. You'd basically need an entire separate civilization of people just to govern it, if not multiple governing bodies spread out across multiple other planets.
I imagine it like Vichi France. Stormtroopers march in and everyone cries. Alderaan getting btfo added to their daily misery.
