- The number one rule in the Star Wars galaxy is don't invade Coruscant unless you're 100% certain you have the forces to do it... and even then its really not a good idea as history will tell you.

So glad to see that Alan is in the skyscraper level of coruscant must have taken a lot of hard work (or selling spice?!?)
he has strong connections, the senator from Naboo took a strong interest in him for some reason 😎
Finally made it to level 5127. He might even get a little tan now. 😎
Another passionate Star Wars video… love to see it I only wish some other creators would take notes.
The thumbnail looks like the police coming to fine couruacant for going over the maximum occupancy.
you’re not wrong!
The real army devouring world was the friends we made along the way
Or that planet with all the space zombies on it.
Sometimes, a question has two right answers
@@sampilcher7196 Two halves cant make a whole without a hole
@@robertnelson9599 Or Catachan, the planet where an invasion of literal Demons got eaten alive by the plants
I don't think Vitiate's Sith really took over the whole Coruscant. Just the Temple, Palpatine and the area around it with the fleet holding position near. I don't think they really have the forces to do more than that since Balmorra and more planets need holding and forces need to be in other places to not arouse suspicion of an attack. Also not meaning to be rude but it's Naga Sadow not Naga Shadow.
Temple, Palpatine and the area around it
good one
Thought it was gonna be about Malachor, but Coruscant also works
Coruscant's scale is absolutely colossal. You'd have to conscript most of an ecumenopolis' population in order to stand any chance.
Not really just secure the surface and cut off food and water supplies. Then say (surrender your sector and go back to normal life and we will reactivate your sectors utilities) since many sectors need materials from the surface trade networks it’s kinda easy if you know how.
Naw, just a blockade and redirect asteroids to impact the surface.
@@scottahermann negative you want the world intact. Limiting damage would limit the luckily hood of a vengeful culture being created to destroy you. So limit your bombardments to military targets.
Blockade the world but show that you’re willing to let supplies through to sectors that surrender. This way you gain support of the people and make those who are fighting you be seen as the true enemies by the people.
You absolutely rock dude!
Coruscant should have had a militia of over 5 billion.. not counting lesser security forces.. it would therefore be almost impossible to invade successfully.. this is covered in properly scaled games like traveller, where high population systems can only be bypassed, blockaded or glassed..
IRL, cities tend to degrade an attacker's combat power over time.
An ecumenopolis like Coruscant would destroy an invasion force just by its sheer size alone. Remember that Coruscant has several levels below down as well. So orbital bombardment won't even work.
Please make a video on 200 FO Stormtroopers vs 200 Clone Troopers
Imagine trying to invade Zonama Sekot though
You land with the first wave and the planet just immediately starts hitting your force with natural disasters
The biggest strength & weakness of Coruscant is its massive population.
Generation Tech has the same addiction to Coruscant as me... 10/10
Why would you invade a world like Corasant when all you have to do is simply blockade it to the point of Starvation!!! 🤠👍
How many years would that take.
I hereby propose that we give emergency powers to the supreme chancellor allen
Great video. Your stuff is always really knowledgeable and I love it. My one question about this video is this... was that mic placement on purpose? At a quick glance the pink sock gives it a NSFW rating.
You did forget the Rebel/New Republic invasion of coruscant which is one of two proper invasions (and one raid) that actually succeeded in taking coruscant alongside the Vong Invasion and the Sacking of Coruscant. Tho in that case the populace of Coruscant was actually on the side of the invaders in that case so it wasn’t nearly as hard so yeah
The only way to really take Coruscant is the same way you would take Trantor or Holy Terra: You don't even TRY to invade the planet itself. Your best option is to destroy any guarding fleets and orbital defences, then use your own fleet to blockade the planet, then you just wait. All these planets have vast populations, that require the importing of truly vast quantities of food and water from offworld. Without those regular shipments, the population quickly starts to starve and these leads to civil anarchy. You just park yourself in orbit and watch, as the planet below starts to eat itself alive and all you have to do is offer to restart the shipments of food, if they would just surrender. The thing that makes Coruscant, Trantor and Holy Terra so impossible to invade and occupy, is also the thing that will make them most vulnerable.
Virus bomb: I'm gonna do what's called a pro-gammer move
The Orks from Warhammer 40k would be a perfect army for taking Coruscant. Tyranids too, but I hate them so I try not to consider that scenario. Plus, the Orks would continue to be a threat even if you beat their initial invasion. Feral Orks streaming from the sewers and ventilation shafts within a few years! Forever!
Way to go I can't wait to hear about another video please
Forgot the 'successful' invasions by the New Republic/Galactic Alliance, both the counter invasion against the Vong, where they won through massive force and handy Jedi, as well as the one where Rogue Squadron used the sun to break the shields by evaporating a water reservoir and making a giant ass storm which, combined with a few well-placed missiles into a statue of Palpy boi, overloaded the shields. yes, the forces on planet were intentionally weakened by Iceheart to further her Kyrtos plans, but it happened way too early for her.
If Coruscant, like Trantor, depends on the incessant influx of food and resources from the very numerous worlds of the Republic, what would happen if Coruscant was simply sieged and blockaded? How long would it take for the population to run out of food and basic necessities, pushing them to surrender?
bingo…this is how you normally take cities with strong defenses
There are many billions of beings in Courscant, they can lasta long time with just cannibalism alone.
Wait, is eating different species even considered cannibalism?
@@eight-cloudspurple5871 …technically no, but it’s probably frowned upon since they’re sentient beings
As stated in the X-Wing series by Ackbar, it would take months at least. Stockpiles are present, and if you are the Empire, just refuse to give food to the non-human population. Plenty of time for a relief fleet to arrive. Storming the planet is more likely to be succesful unless you have total domination of every inch of airspace, blockade runners are a thing
Another thing on Naga Sadow's force illusions? those were able to kill people for real (i.e. your body believes you die when struck so you in fact do so). The ancient sith could raise entire armies worth of dead, destroy fortresses and armies with waves of darkness, use dark side rituals and relics to cause supernovas and project galactic-wide battle meditation. maybe this didn't always translate into one-on-one combat, but far more useful to turn the tide of battles and wars.
Yeah, Valkorion said it too in SWTOR:
'The Player': None of this is real!'
Valkorion: Illusions can kill.
People see Rituals and superweapons as a kind of Cheat Code.
And you usually see it in Versus Series like 'Vitiate versus Palpatine'.
But hey, whatever it takes to kill your enemies, Murder has no rules.
"Oh wise, and wonderful Alan of the Star Wars lore", during the earlier part of this video, I was thinking about how to ask if you thought the Yuuzhan Vong invasion was the most effective. THEN, you surpassed yourself and included them already! Could we get a video with a more in depth history of them, their culture, and the effects on the resultant Galactic Alliance?...
Reminds me of Ego the Living Planet.
Coruscant being virtually impossible to conquer makes since. Even if they somehow got through the planetary defenses. You would need a ground army that outnumbered the citizens of the planet. And considering how many factions make their home their. It could potentially rally the entire galaxy to defend it.
You should do a video about the creatures of Mandalore
Grievous' invasion also had another trick: billions of Separatist sympathizers and people pissed with the Shock Troopers rising up during the attack and dividing the defenders' attention.
They would have been able to stay… if a Skywalker didn’t go super sayan lol
Coruscant, the jewel of the center.
If Count Duku death was necessary Lose . Wonder grievous wondered what if im next. Did he even ask who he was working for
Not even the infinite empire could fully control the planet.
Nihilus could have had a wonderful thanksgiving dinner if he went there
What if the rebels managed to take the death Star
In the Star Wars Infinities comics, Yoda crashes the Death Star into the Imperial Palace on Coruscant
What about Darth Krayt?
nice video
I was so excited for you to talk about Abeloth and the Lost Tribe but alas 😞 twas not to be.
Would be easier to lay siege for a few years as I'd assume they inport most resources like food etc
Hey Alan 😊 you should do Morgan Freeman Reviews: the Ships, the species of Star Wars. Best wishes.😁🇬🇧
Do 2 minute shorts but put them on this channel as well.
❤❤❤
Thumbnail looks like Mr. Shadow from The Fifth Element, which did destroy a small fleet group.
This was a cool departure from your regular topics, love it🎉
Erm. Could we please reconsider Mic placement?
Courasant be eating good I guess.
Yeah, till use Death Star like superweapon(s) to destroy Coruscant. :P
So... Coruscant is basically Afghanistan of the Core Worlds or even Star Wars as a whole? After all, it is where all military forces of the Great Powers go and fail to maintain it for the long and stable period of time.
no, not even close
Ironic that Space Afghanistan isn't an unconquerable semi-wilderness, but a megacity that's the sociopolitical center of the galaxy.
If they still had an empire, the Yshan Vong wouldn’t have won.
Was Grivious in on the plan?
Clearly, they should have started bribing people to the dark side by giving them cookies and cake XD
Caught with their pants down and it would not have happened if they didn't wear pants. LOL That's an interesting notion.
The armies of Rome and a ton of other nations in history did not wear pants, for the longest time armies around the world wore skirts!
Coruscant may devour armies, but if you blast it from space can it really devour that firepower? It would be interesting to know how big a fleet would be needed to level the place. If a force came not to invade but to devastate, could they pull it off? And I am excluding Death Star type attacks in this scenario.
it explains why he’s always sitting down…
I would never land troops on an encompolis, I would break through its defenses, then burn/glass the surface maybe twice to three times as long as a normal world would've been, then establish a blockade to ensure no one escapes or comes to reinforce the world. Now, you just leave the molten and toxic upper levels you just glassed to seep down into the lower levels to do what your armies will be incapable of doing.
It's a little extreme, but it's gets the job done.
Without boots on the ground, planetary defense cannons would make short work of any ship trying to bomb the planet for any extended period of time. There is also the matter regarding planetary shields.
@@CativaBRlonger distance bombardment gets around that, you can send small special forces units to sabotage or destroy the shields if your bombardment is unable to pound the shields out
not even glassing, just completely surrounding the planet to cutoff all shipping and transport access and it will starve. you need only bombard shields and defenses at most
So, what happened to Taris in the KOTOR games
Ben ben Allen
If you truly want to conquer the planet start opening up chains of McDonald’s. Excuse me star- McDonald’s.
So it's Afghanistan?
Will you ever learn how to pronounce ecumenopolis right?
It's pronounced ek-you-men-opolis.
SA-dow! Sadow. Not Sha-dow.
If you didn't say his name incorrectly like 1000 times in this video it wouldn't have bothered me so much lmao. I mean you got Ulic's name perfect.
Why were the Ewoks so impressed by 3po if they have more advanced magic
Because the Ewoks saw 3po as a god or so he said.
Science fantasy. Bah. More Andor, please.
Andor? You mean woke non canon trash?
@@baseddlite7306 I mean science fiction instead of magical wizards casting spells.
sorry to be a grammar nazi but....
