Senator Ryo Chuchi was another politician who tried to stand up against the Empire. At least tried to fight to ensure that Clones who fought and sacrificed so much could be recognized as citizens of the Empire.
-
I would love a Noir Fiction/Hard Boiled/Cyberpunk movie based on the Asajj Ventress story found in the canon novel "Dark Disciple". She spent a good amount of time on level 1313 on Coruscant.
-
Let us not forget that by the end of the Empire one had to be a loyal Imperial to even live there legally. Like the Nazis, some towns were Nazi-only.
-
I actually thought Coruscant was the planet Abrams destroyed. I had no clue it wasn't the New Republic's capital, especially since the shows treat it as the New Republic's capital.
-
You are without question one of the most consistently excellent content creators on this platform. Every video is an absolute joy to watch, great job my friend
-
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.
-
Allan Coruscant basically liberated itself and joined the New Republic plus all those tunnels below would be great for any eventual government continuation.
-
Mon is that one employee who watches the chaos ensue when the company gets bought out and folded into soul-crushing bureaucracy as the new people on the top spend most of their time patting themselves on the back.
-
Alan your knowledge of our politics is very impressive and I love how you connect it with the SW galaxies. Your videos are awesome and I really enjoy them. Really enjoying Ahsoka too. 👏
-
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.
-
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.
-
I recall a passage from ( darth plagues) palpatine is thinking about corusant . He thinks the only way the republic could be saved was the separate the senate from corusant . With the economic and political do close corruption was inevitable. And easy for someone like him to exploit.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Loving the high content output, quality hasnt sufferered a bit. I cannot get enough of this channel. Thanks for all the hard work ❤
-
The idea that Mon Mothma has time for things like this is absolutely ludicrous.
-
Thank you for giving us the deep dives of all of the Star Wars universe. Greatly appreciated 🙏 Keep going 🤘💯❤️
-
Allen, that was really good commentary connecting the examples between Star Wars and Europe.
-
Your voice + musings on Star Wars lore are joyful supplements to my work from home days. Very appreciative!
-
I used to think like you about Coruscant, wow ... how cool. But then I realized that all the forests, all the animals, and all the rivers and lakes had been consumed by this urban take over of a planet !!! Is a planet destroyed by the death star ??? Or is it destroyed by an unending city ???
