Keiran Halcyon Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 I was on the net and i found that 'Coruscant' name appeared on the Droids cartoons. That means GL invented the name, no Timothy Zhan...
Wraith 8 Posted January 23, 2003 Posted January 23, 2003 well.. can you show us a picture? or a link to where you found it?
Keiran Halcyon Posted January 24, 2003 Author Posted January 24, 2003 OK Read the 'inspiration' part of this custom made action figure Mungo Baobab
Katarn07 Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Uhhh, nice try, I've seen that guy before. But read where the Coruscant info came from... From SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE CD
JediNyt Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Of course GL created Corruscant, he would use the name if he didnt make it. He thought of Midiclorians back when he made Ep4 but he didnt use it cause it wasnt important to that part of the story. Listen to the Ep1 commentary when Qui talks to Obi about them if you dont believe me.

In shadows CD they said that THAT poem, by the original dwellers of Coruscant, was discovered by Mungo Baobad and sure they explain that in the series. Maybe coruscant does not appear but the name.
Reb Starblazer Posted January 26, 2003 Posted January 26, 2003 Actually, George Lucas did come up with the name Coruscant, but Tim Zahn was the first to use it. When the time came for Zahn to write his books, he asked Lucas about the planet. Lucas gave Zahn two choices for a name, Coruscant and something else I can't remember, and told him that whichever one Zahn picked to use in his books, would be the one they stuck to. Zahn obviously picked Coruscant.
Thrackan Solo Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 mm.......... interestingly suprising Zahn doesuse the name first but....
Katarn07 Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 I knew the name of the other planet, it was in every script for SW. Never saw Coruscant in any of them though..... I'd like the info from both Lucas and Zahn though, because, well, this is new to me.... And the fact the poem comes from that guy doesn't mean it was in the series. They could have picked an existing character and added more story to his short, short bio. I have seen some ofthe droid cartoons with that dude in it, never heard Coruscant. I may be wrong, just want some more solid proof.
