Honestly the worst part of the sequels is how it took all of the incredible sacrifices that the rebels made and made it all pointless. The culmination of all that suffering just ended up being a joke of a government that couldn’t even stop the most obvious enemy and was so weak that it collapsed in a single blow. Kanan, Andor, Luthen, Jyn, and many more peoples sacrifices all made meaningless because Mon Mothma wanted to basically virtue signal.

Allan Coruscant basically liberated itself and joined the New Republic plus all those tunnels below would be great for any eventual government continuation.

Honestly it’s one of those retcons (where they changed things from the books in the shows like Cobb Vanth's backstory, the changes from both the Kanan comic in the bad batch, and the Ahsoka Novel in tales of the jedi and clone wars season 7.) that I considered a good thing since many people dislike the treatment of Coruscant in the post-Endor galaxy so this retcon is a good thing.

The fact they didnt prevented them from capitalizing on the opportunity to push galactic philosophy back towards the ideals of the galactic republic. Something which costed them dearly during the Hosnian disaster.

On the contrary. His knowledge of real world politics is terrible. Little advice, never trust Western Mainstream Media. They always lies about everything.

That was what I had wondered. Arbitrarily relocating the capital of galaxy away from a planet like Coruscant would have to cause an economic and social collapse. Much like what happened to Trantor in Isaac Asimov's Foundation novels. When his Galactic Empire collapsed, most people had to evacuate because the city-planet was not self-sufficient in terms of things like food production. Mon Mothma's comes across as a well-intentioned but ultimately stupid bull in china shop. She made many idiotic decisions based purely on idealism and ended up causing enormous damage to the very New Republic that she worked so hard to build.

Perhaps Mothma made the best choice from a selection of exclusively bad choices. How do we know that the New Republic wouldn't have collapsed much sooner had she pushed too hard for a strong military & centralized government policy? How do we know that she and the New Republic wouldn't have faced mass opposition from powerful factions throughout the galaxy had she gone that route?

This was a problem with the Old Republic, as thousands of members increasingly saw it as a Core-centric state that treated everybody else as colonies. Has she brought smuggling under control? No! In fact, warship parts were being stolen from Republic-run shipyards. Has she reined in Imperial factions who could at least be successful terrorists if they chose? No! Has she prevented the Senate from becoming the same kind of mess that it was leading into the Clone Wars? No! I refuse to believe that this was the best option. If it was, then Republic doesn't deserve to exist.

very good point about the companies. You had incorporations such as Czerka. They survived since the days of the old republic (Revan's time) until well after Luke's era. They were mostly weapons manufacturers, but also sold speeders, other things.

Looking back it’s obvious how important that Mando episode your referencing was, even though it wasn’t well received.

If I wrote something in the new canon about the political situation in the new republic I would have made it be like this. With every new chancellor depending on where there from. The inner mid or outer rim? There are 3 planets in each part of the galaxy that the seat of power would change with every new chancellor that way each rim would have representation

Coruscant has over a hundred miles deep of layers of floors from the top to the bedrock, with each floor almost covering the entire planet. That is not counting the numerous building spires that go even further above the surface. If one calculated the surface area of each floor, it is possible that could be as much surface area on Coruscant as equal to the surface area of a thousand Earths.

The destruction of Alderaan is the equivalent of a government nuking of its own major cities in order to make a point and demonstrate power. I don't see any western government doing anything even remotely close to this. So no, we're not the empire. But we do have issues that are similar to those of the old republic. Most of the governing is done by unelected bureaucrats, and the traits people need to rise into prominence within a political party and as politicians, make them terrible leaders of nations. In my native language there's an aphorism that translates to "Voting doesn't change anything, if it did, it were illegal." The past twenty years are not a counter against that.

Anyone else wondered what does the Republic think of independent systems such as Mandalore, Nevarro and Ryloth? Sure, Ryloth is an ally. And Mandalore and Nevarro appeared to be doing nothing to the Republic like at all. But if the First Order did not come to the scene, will the Third Republic actually try to forcefully annex them one way or another?

The building we see is the Court (with the Republic logo) and I believe this is the institution Padmé was referring to in TPM when Palpatine gave her the choice to sign the Treaty forfeiting Naboo to the Trade Federation or bring it to Court.

Which stuff like that has happened on Earth the Chinese love doing it for exemple but it's as the US knows is really impractical.

KOTOR, for me , was one of the best stories told in Star Wars universe

"Once the rockets go up who cares where the come down. That's not my department, says Werner von Braun"

I just want to know what happened to the old senate building and the old Jedi temple/imperial palace after the Empire fell.

If we were talking about any other planet but Coruscant I wouldn't be saying this. But I could never figure out why the population of Coruscant would be cheering the fall of the Empire. After 20+ years as the Imperial capital I can't but believe that if you lived on the planet, you worked for the Empire. Your job, your family's financial (if not political) security was tied up with the well being of the Empire. And after 20+ years Palpatine would have ensured that of all planets- Coruscant would be the truest, most loyal in all the Empire. Sure the lower levels would be glad to see the Empire go, but the um, "activities" that were engaged in down there would have been frowned upon & prosecuted by the New Republic as well.

Heavy GT . Hopefully you peaked curiosity for the younger Gen to look into the history and become healthy wealthy and wise.

New title catchy af lol

I also noticed something that stuck out to me as odd. When Leia is mentioned in this scene they very specifically call her a senator. Which doesn't make any sense to me because 1; I think she should've been Supreme Chancellor, and 2; Senator of what planet? Certainly not Alderaan. I'm not sure if there are rules in the Republic Senate that say a senator _has_ to be a native of the planet they're representing, but it does seem to be implied.

Wow has he finally started grading his footage??

Allan, you ever played combine?

I remember a quote, freedom is never free. The individuals who fought against the empire and tyranny knew they were going to die. Thats just how it is. The first heroes need to die until enough heroes stand up.

Man, thinking about an undercity that never sees natural light just makes me think of the silent movie, Metropolis and how it depicted the people living beneath the city. It would be really interesting to see a Star Wars thing set entirely in the lower levels of an ecumenopolis like Coruscant or Taris. I hope it's not giving too much credit to Tony Gilroy to think the green and gold Senator in that scene is a perfect example of ducktalk from 1984 (as well as just repeating post-9/11 propaganda verbatim).

Star Wars is basically the political orientation of Earth, but on a much larger scale, I think that is fascinating to watch because that could be us in the millennia to come

*Generation Technocrat* 😊

I am so surprised that you know about Elvira Nabiulina. She is really a very brave woman that tries to do her job well and help ordinary russian people from her position.

It seems like Coruscant is still the de facto capital where many administrative and military headquarters are housed. Then you have the de jure capital which rotates housing the Senate.

Thank you so much for talking about that Russian „Technocrat“ I didnt know that and it makes me sympathize with her. I dont think she had much of a choice to stay or not….

The rotation of capitals made sense to entice membership to the growing New Republic however, the strategic location of Coruscant and the infrastructure the planet had made it suitable for political activities.

….you should really consider starting a world politics/news opinion channel. Listening to your tidbit on Russia was actually pretty fascinating.

Did we ever get any information on how Coruscant was compared to earth?

Is senator Xiono Allen’s uncle?

Like Trantor in Foundation, Orus in Jupiter Ascending, Fifth Jerusalem in Xenosaga, Imperial Terra in 40K, etc. The center of population is always a target, and is always proof of the old saying, never put all your eggs in one basket.

I just assumed why that government building in Coruscant was still being used was merely the transition in trying to move the capital to another world. Think about it, we are talking about a big-ass galactic civilization. Something that huge would definitely take a lot of time to finish the process.

Looks like Curasant outside your window!!
