10 Best Fictional Planets In Sci-Fi Movies

No planet is more fascinating than the Star Wars universe's Coruscant, the capital of the Republic. To quote Ric Olié: the entire planet is one big city.

Thousands of years of construction and development turned Coruscant into one mass of skyscrapers, whose lowest levels and foundations are now uninhabitable due to the pollution and lack of natural light and resources.

Home to both the Galactic Senate and Jedi Temple, Coruscant was, prior to the Galactic Empire's upheaval of the established order, the ruling seat of all democratic authority in the galaxy, and considered to be an impenetrable stronghold for the forces of good, encompassing great bastions of commerce, knowledge and culture.

That is not to say Coruscant is without corruption and criminality, as the wealth divide is significant between the many levels of its structures, pushing the underclasses down into the shambolic, crowded and largely lawless lower levels, while the wealthy rise to the top.

Nevertheless, the clouds, neon lights, endless cityscapes and promise of a million different experiences in a million different places - not to mention its striking, road-at-night-like surface texture when seen from space - make Coruscant truly striking, unique and the best of the best.
