STAR WARS PLANETS WE’D LIKE TO VISIT

STARWARS.COM RUNS DOWN THE GALAXY'S BEST PLACES TO VISIT -- AND AVOID.



Luke Skywalker would have you believe Tatooine is the farthest planet from the bright center of the universe, but the Star Wars galaxy is a packed place. Plenty of teenagers on other planets probably say the same thing. There are several Outer Rim locales tarnished with an unappealing sheen, Core planets filled with luxuries and promise, and everything in between. A handful of locations are featured as Star Tours attraction destinations at Disney parks, and though the virtual experience is better than nothing, we’re itching to get our feet on the ground in the galaxy far, far away and explore. These planets are at the top of our list:

 Coruscant

It’s a city and a planet; how could you not want to visit Coruscant? From Dex’s Diner to the Jedi Temple, the planet offers endless sights and activities. It’s recognized as the center of power and culture in the galaxy and home to billions of citizens that live in layer upon layers of buildings.

Areas to avoid: The undercity


Tatooine

The desert planet may be covered in uncomfortable granules of sand (we know, Anakin, we know), but Tatooine offers sweeping vistas and beautiful dunes. You could tour sites such as the remains of the Lars homestead, go on a krayt dragon-viewing safari, and attend the Boonta Eve Classic.

Areas to avoid: Jabba’s Palace, sarlacc pits, Tusken Raider camps — wait, why are we considering visiting this planet?



Felucia

Felucia is made for the inner naturalist within all of us. The planet is covered in colorful plants and translucent life-forms and visiting it would be the equivalent of going to the Galapagos Islands. You’d need to be careful to tread lightly and leave no trace.

Areas to avoid: Anywhere with carnivorous plants



Hoth

Don’t be turned off by the bitter chill of Hoth. This is an ideal planet for an adventurous vacation. Put on the warmest clothes you own or just all of your clothes at once, pack food in, and make camp in the remains of Echo Base. From there, it’s all about snowshoeing and looking for pet tauntauns.

Areas to avoid: Wampa caves, the insides of tauntauns



Naboo

Nothing says romance like visiting Naboo’s Lake Country where Anakin and Padmé were married — just don’t think about all the heartache that followed their wedding. Relax in the elegant capital city of Theed and see the Festival of Light or explore the planet’s hills and plains.

Areas to avoid: Theed Generator Complex



Serenno

Count Dooku’s home planet is nothing to sneeze at. Those looking for a place to hideaway from it all for a while might put Serenno at the top of the list. The mountains and cliff-side homes offer seclusion and privacy in a lovely setting. Plan a long stay, pack some books, and disconnect from the HoloNet.

Areas to avoid: Anywhere Count Dooku has been spotted

BACK FROM THE DRAWING BOARD, PART 2: REPURPOSED STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY JAWAS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES TO SEE VALUE IN OLD DROIDS. LEARN HOW STAR WARS CREATORS HAVE REUSED FORGOTTEN CONCEPTS FOR FILM AND TV! The previous installment of Back from the Drawing Board discussed the various aliens that were recycled from unused concept art. This time we will look at droids and starships that were originally designed for the movies, but ended up in other sources. Bring in the Droids, Again Some of the most obvious examples can be found in Star Wars Rebels, which draws heavily from the unused concept art of Ralph McQuarrie. One of the main characters, Chopper (1), finds his origin in conceptual designs from our other favorite astromech, R2-D2. A different design was used directly in West End Games’ Cynabar’s Fantastic Technology to depict the P2 astromech droid (3). Another iconic design by McQuarrie, the one intended for C-3PO, also ended up in Rebels in the form of the RQ pro

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here. Check out the video below to see  swtor credits  Howard as he tries his luck playing our original game “

MEET THE GEONOSIS JEDI GET TO KNOW THE JEDI WARRIORS WHO WERE THE FIRST TO FIGHT THE CLONE WARS! When Obi-Wan Kenobi got captured on Geonosis by the powerhouses of the Secessionist Movement, Mace Windu decided to lead a task force of 200 Jedi. Meanwhile, Yoda left for the Kamino system where the Republic would make use of the mysterious clone army that had been ordered about a decade ago by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The participation of the Jedi on Geonosis would prove to be an omen of what the Clone Wars would bring for the guardians of peace and justice. The battle showed what the Jedi were and also what they weren’t. The Jedi were compassionate beings who didn’t hesitate to rescue a fellow Jedi in need and who did anything they could to protect the Galactic Republic. But the Jedi had evolved into diplomats and keepers of the peace instead of hardened battlefield commanders. The outcome of the Battle of Geonosis would be disastrous for the Jedi Order, as about 170 of the 200 Jedi
