10 Coolest Sci-Fi Movie & TV Worlds

7. Canto Bight - Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Ego Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2

You ever wonder what would happen if the world was conquered by Vegas? You'd probably get something along the lines of Canto Bight from Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

There are plenty of worlds that could have gone onto this list in Canto Bight's place, but this world strikes that perfect sweet spot between showing up just long enough for you to get what it's about, and making you want to know more after you leave.

Canto Bight is a luxury planet for the worst of the galaxy's wealthy. In particular, arms dealers and war profiteers. These parasites party it up in the casinos and fancy restaurants while the actual natives of the planet have to slave away in stables. And if that sounds familiar to certain administrations of certain 1st world countries, may I direct your attention to director Rian Johnson's latest work, Knives Out? This is kind of a thing with him.

Canto Bight perfectly serves the theme of The Last Jedi while also being a creative and interesting world all on its own.
