Everywhere else we've seen is mostly undeveloped desert, tundra, jungle, ocean or forest. The only exception was maybe Naboo and even that only seemed to have one real city (two if you count the Gungans).
Why are none of them even Earth-level inhabited?
because cgi is expensive
Kamino and Bespin are pretty developed if you ask me.
Damn, all these years I thought the speeder chase in Episode II was Nar Shaddaa.
Because no two planets can wear the same hat
Mar Shadaa is another planetary city
Alderaan had big cities too
>What is Tatooine and Jakku?
[laughs in JJ]
Because every organization with any power spends all their resources on planet sized WMDs and blows them up.
Lucas wanted the series to have a kind of Western feel so he went with locations that were frontieresque
>It's salt.
Corellia, Kuat, Caamas, Chandrila, Corulag, and Alderaan (RIP) are also city planets.
Cato Nemoida, Mygeeto, Corellia, and Hosnian Prime all show in the live action movies and there are countless more in the EU (Legends and Canon). Geonosis also has billions of inhabitants and is covered in structures, they just look like termite hives because, well, they are.
>You know realise that 80% of the original saga is set in planets within the Outer Rim
>planets are basically the equivalent of individual cities in terms of culture, climate, architecture etc
Is there a more hack fantasy/sci-fi trope?
>4 rafts
>a space needle
>same architecture
The only two planets that we have seen enough to make that assumption are Naboo and Tatooine, and even then Tatooine had a "diverse" architecture as Mos Espa and Mos Eisley look a bit different, the former being more like a sand slum and the latter looking more like a city or town, not to mention Jabba's palace
Because fascism doest work, shitlord
>Each the size of a medium/large city or even bigger
And Disney hasn't a fucking clue what they're doing and can't design a new city
>Canon and unimaginative hack rewriting.
JJ has had one original idea in his inbred mind (Lost). All he does now is take existing franchisees and make them worse
Because they realized city planets were a mistake.
>cost to maintain
>cost to defend
>pollution
>zero room to move around
There are plenty of planets with huge urban environments just none like Coruscant.
Nar Shardaa is a moon so it doesn't really count.
They are irrelevant to the plots of the movies.
Coruscant is the center of commerce and government, so it gets all the attention.
This. Nar Shaddaa is also a city planet
All of Coruscant has that futuristic Art Deco look.
1-4 cities does not a developed planet make.
>places we never see
Get out.
>Cato Nemoida, Mygeeto
>show in the live action movies
Nar shaddaa felt more like a planet out of the 40K universe, with its post war atmosphere and criminal presence.
I disliked questing there but it added alot of depth to the story and made it more immersive.
Because of lazy shitty ass writing
Probably this is the reason why that fucking galaxy is always on war.
Here's the population of various Canon planets (because I'm bored):
>Coruscant - 1 Trillion
>Geonosis - 100 Billion
>Nar Shaddaa - 85 Billion
>Christophis - 35 Billion
>Mon Cala - 27 Billion
>Sullust - 18.5 Billion
>Nal Hutta - 7 Billion
>Naboo - 4.5 Billion
>Corellia - 3 Billion
>Alderaan - 2 Billion
>Ryloth - 1.5 Billion
>Chandrila - 1 Billion
>Kamino - 1 Billion
>Utapau - 95 Million
>Kashyyyk - 56 Million
>Forest Moon of Endor - 30 Million
>Jedha - 11 Million
>Cato Nemoida - 8.5 Million
>Bespin - 6 Million
>Mandalore - 4 Million
>Takodana - Less than 1 Million
>Tatooine - 200 Thousand
>Jakku - Less than 25 Thousand
>Mustafar - 20 Thousand
>Kessel - 11 Thousand
>Dathomir - A few hundred to a few thousand
Because Star Wars is retarded
/eot
How can the team behind KotOR come up with all that content. And Disney shits out replicas and slightly altered versions of existing worlds and vehicles? Does their creative department have 0 artistic freedom?
There are highly developed core worlds like kuat (?) and corellia, we just never see them
