In The Force Awakens, we saw the First Order unleash Starkiller Base onto the galaxy and destroy Hosnian Prime and all other planetary objects within the Hosnian System, as Hosnian Prime was the capital of the New Republic at that time. However, if director J.J. Abrams’ had gotten his way and his original plan for the film had been approved, Starkiller Base would have instead destroyed Coruscant, which was the capital of the defunct Galactic Republic. There are few planets in the Star Wars galaxy that are as impressive, cool, and extraordinary as Coruscant. Coruscant is a truly remarkable planet. Hands down, Coruscant is one of the most balling planets in all of Star Wars. As the Galactic capital of the Republic for thousands of years, Coruscant is a planet in the Star Wars galaxy that has a very unique, intriguing, and Coruscant's rich history is unparalleled. Seeing Coruscant for the first time in The Phantom Menace as a youngling was something special. Coruscant is not only home to the Galactic Senate Building, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, but it's also home to a trillion individuals that come from various species and planets of the Star Wars Galaxy. To put it simply: Coruscant is dope. It's one of my favorite planets we've seen in Star Wars, and I'm always excited whenever Star Wars takes us back to Coruscant. Coruscant, also known as Imperial Center during the rule of the Galactic Empire, was an ecumenopolis—a city-covered planet, collectively known as Imperial City— in the Coruscant system of the Core Worlds. Though debated by historians, it was generally believed that Coruscant was the original homeworld of humanity. Coruscant was at one point also historically the home of the ancient Taung and Zhell. Noted for its cosmopolitan culture and towering skyscrapers, Coruscant's population consisted of trillions of citizens hailing from a vast array of both humanoid and alien species. In addition, Coruscant's strategic location at the end of several major trade routes enabled it to grow in power and influence, causing the city-planet to surpass its early rivals and become the hub of galactic culture, education, finance, fine arts, politics and technology. It was the location of several major landmarks, including the Jedi Temple, Monument Plaza, and the Senate Building. Serving as the capital of the galaxy since the ancient days of the old Galactic Republic, Coruscant was at the center of many historic events, such as the Jedi Order's conflict with the Sith. Although the planet fell under Sith occupation for a time, Republic forces ultimately liberated Coruscant with the aid of the Jedi Knights. Their victory was so decisive to the point where the Sith were all but extinct, replacing an age of darkness and strife with the democratic rule of the modern Galactic Republic. Retaining its status as galactic capital, it was on Coruscant where the Galactic Senate governed the galaxy for centuries, establishing an era of peace that lasted for almost a millennium under the protection of the Jedi peacekeepers. During the fall of the Republic, political intrigue wrought by corruption and secession transformed Coruscant into a dangerous environment by the time of the Clone Wars—the first major war waged on a galactic scale in a thousand years. Between assassination plots and terrorist bombings, the Senate turned to the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine. As Palpatine's authority increased exponentially, the presence of the Grand Army of the Republic on Coruscant also grew at a steady rate, from the establishment of the Coruscant Guard to building the Republic Center for Military Operations in the Federal District. Coruscant continued to serve as galactic capital under the Empire, having become the Emperor's official throneworld, although Palpatine himself disappeared from public view for the most part, choosing to leave the day-to-day business of governing the galaxy to his advisors on the Imperial Ruling Council. The Empire maintained a firm hold on Coruscant throughout the Emperor's reign, but with his defeat at the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, the citizens of Coruscant celebrated by revolting against the Imperial government. Meanwhile, across the galaxy, various high-ranking officers fragmented the Imperial Military in a rush to succeed Palpatine as ruler of the Empire. 

What a time to be a Star Wars fan!
