this is jokingly addressed in the EU by one of the authors describing a planet that is super massive and has literally every type of biome on it, so the empire use the entire planet to train storm troopers to save money. they can train a storm trooper to be deployed to any of the other planet types there lol
Is that a reference to Dune? They do that for the special forces too, except the planet is harsh and grueling so it forces them to become more resilient.
@@kvn8907 Depends? There's more volume, thus mass, so there's more gravity, however there's more distance between the surface and the core also goes up. Gliese 876 d has almost eight times the mass of Earth but its gravity is only 3x ours.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy parodied this with a "beachfront property on warm oceans on a Saturday evening just before the bars close" planet. No one's really sure what's up with the time, so the citizens just tell each other, "Have a nice diurnal anomaly!"
Interestingly, Kashyyyk isn't all forest and jungle. The planet has a belt of tropical ocean, filled with coral reefs and large islands and, as a result of no axial tilt and a circular orbit, has only one season. In Legends, across four continents, it also had large plains, and small mountain ranges with deserts as a result of these ranges.
@@scottletourneau4571 Well, I found this information on Wookiepedia on the Kashyyyk article. From there, you can look at the in line citations for all the sources.
@@kylepessell1350 rare doesn't mean inexistant, you. The fact that the majority of the planet THAT WE SEE in the films are desert-like mono climate-type doesn't bother me too much since majority of the planets (even in our solar system) are basically... Arid or cold desert. The rest being earth and gas planets. Not sure about venus : technically it's a desert too but it seems to have some kind of acid rain (or ch4 rain? Can't remember rn)
Single biome does make sense on some of the planets. Like Tatooine has multiple suns, so it's possible that it's just hot everywhere due to everywhere being covered just enough to be a universal desert. What really doesn't make sense is how half of these single biome planets support life.
If I were to ignore the lore and go into it based entirely on what I could see from the movies themselves I assume Tatooine was a partially terraformed world that used to just be entirely uninhabitable however the simple addition of making the air breathable attracted people to settle and live there under the promise of both the world becoming fully terraformed and I bet there's a kind of wild west frontier appeal to it; like sure its a horrid desert world now but eventually its going to be an entire new planet. Think of the cities and nations that will be built? Wouldn't you wanna be one of the first and stake your name in history? now whether the terraforming efforts were interrupted or whatever is not something I can gleam. But I get the general vibe that Tatooine suffered some sort of breakdown of whatever society was behind the initial colonization and that the Jawas, Moisture Farmers and Tuskan Raiders were basically descended from those same settlers (Its very strange that the Jawas have these massive vehicles that clearly would require industrial manufacturing equipment and resources the Jawas could not have). And the animals that do live on Tatooine were like ones brought along by the initial colonists I think Hoth makes sense too (there can definitely be ice planets) but I think it makes less sense that the air is breathable as unlike Tatooine I ironically see it as being less likely that it was terraformed since there are no other people living on Hoth besides the rebels, Tatooine had a lot of societies living there.
@@Xenomorthian In legends, Tatooine used to have a flourishing ecosystem with vasts forests and plains. Due to the rebellion of the local ancient Tatooineans, the Infinite Empire glassed the planet to a desert with the surviving Tatooineans having diverged into the Tusken Raider and Jawas by the time of the Galactic Civil War.
I like how Auralnauts refer to the planets as if they were theme park locations or something. Just casually heading over to Sand World or Lava World, etc
Come to think of it, Naboo is the only planet so far in the main line movies where there's any variety. They got beautiful cities with big palaces and rivers and lakes. And big jungles, and an ocean with another civilisation living at the bottom, and you can pilot through the planet's core for some reason. It's like they used their entire creative budget for this one planet, and ever since they only have planets that look like Hoth, or Tattooine, or more recently idk Scotland or something like that? Rolling green hills and/or craggy island cliffs.
Used to have a bit about how Jakku is basically just Tatooine, and both planets are kinda just Arrakis (the spice planet). Think up some cool alien worlds with exotic flora and fona? Nah, just desert or whatever, but at least one had sandworms...then they done it again with Stargate...
Try Catachan from Warhammer 40K, makes Dune look pretty tame in comparison, no possibility of a permanent settlement since the local Fauna and Flora will eventually kill you so its always on the run in temporary camps, overall, the local humans present have a fun time. Meanwhile when Daemons invaded the planet, one of the most dangerous foes in Warhammer 40K that lay ruin to countless worlds, were fully repelled from it, it gives some perspective of how insanely dangerous Catachan is if you're familiar with 40K Lore
@@AGrayPhantom I still don't understand that part. Like the actual troopers maybe, but the TIES are another matter with their shots causing portions of the interior of the Falcon to catch fire.
@@scottthewaterwarriorHad to make it look good. Would’ve been too obvious if they didn’t give chase. They probably knew how much fire a ship like that could take. Told the pilots to hit them a few times, then stay alive and pretend to bail when the return fire got heavy. The pilots didn’t count on a force sensitive and an ace pilot gunning them down.
@smol_pupper123 The Empire has a history of underutilizing TIEs, they didn't launch any initially when the station was under actual attack at Yavin, and even once they did, still only a handful. But if they wanted the Falcon to escape, only launching a small number makes sense, it's just the damage inflicted on the Falcon could easily have been fatal.
I think everyone needs to stop trying to come up with reasons as to why the storm troopers were so inaccurate on the death star. It is an old movie made with old movie methods. Simply put, having the heroes nearly get hit and barely escape is thrilling and intense even if it doesn't make sense. If we just take it at face value like that then we don't need to come up with weird things not explained in the movies at all. Like it was the force. But in cannon they are very accurate. Storm troopers are actually not the main military of the Empire. And the show Andor really shows that well. If you compare it to it's inspiration of the German army during WW2 there was the German military and then the SS. The storm troopers are fanatically loyal to the Empire and resemble the SS which were nicknamed Storm troopers.
One of the Stargate TV series episodes did this- 2 of them pop out in an area of snow & ice. They determine they must be on an "ice planet" rather than just assuming they're on one of the poles. It was the scientist character that said it, too.
We just gonna pretend it wasn't literally on Earth? Although abandoned ice planet is a fair assumption since most of the time the gates were near a society or there was no society.
The slightly janky animation is just getting better and better. At this point really maturing as a niche art form. I love it, this video is some great storytelling
@@silverletter4551 I know in legends is that the animals evolved over time and that the planet was once covered in islands. Ships have also crashed on the planet over time. Pirate groups and big game hunters also settled the planet in the past as well.
Considering Earth's climate is a highly unlikely sweet spot, most planets being like a desert and very hot or very cold make sense. But you're right that they should still cycle through being hot or cold on a day or night shift. They do mostly seem to have weather systems though. Sand storms on Tatooine, it's always raining on Kamino, Snow on Hoth etc.
Alderaan had quite a significant variety in ecosystems as does Naboo. Coruscant prior to being a city did as well. Tatooine has varying degrees of desert, it has sections which are more like the Sahara and some which are pretty North/Central American. Endor also has variety. It has forests we see in the films, it also has grasslands and has oceans and lakes as well. Kamino is an unknown case since it was global warming that caused the ice caps to melt and the entire thing to be covered in ocean, so it may well have been like Earth previously. Kashyyyk's forests vary as well and it also has sandy sections and a good few oceans.
On an even more basic level, every single planet in the Star Wars galaxy has a breathable, oxygen rich atmosphere (even those without abundant plant life), comfortable temperatures suitable for life, surface gravity comparable to that of Earth, and a magnetosphere that prevents their home star’s solar winds from blowing away their atmosphere. Pretty convenient if you ask me.
I think it at least partly makes sense, throughput the galaxy they only chose to live on planets with breathable atmospheres, so we see them visiting planets with breathable atmospheres
There's both a lot of humor and deeper meaning in the empire sending them to tattooine without equipment to prepare for the climate, or a translator for the native languages.
Wait, is Naboo from episode 1 the only movie planet with more than one climate? It has the grassy plains where we saw the gungans and druids fight, the swamps where the gungans live, that massive underground water tunnels that Qui-Gon and company passed through, then the capital where the queen lived.
Funny, I never really noticed that George was probably just inspired by our own solar system tho; Neptune's kind of an ice planet, Mars is pretty much just desert, and Venus being lava hot..
@@antonisauren8998 I've watched the bad batch, the mandalorian lately and it's always one city. I remembered the Clone wars and how it's always the area around the Senate if they show coruscant. Yeah Tattooine is different wooheee

I dont know why people get so confused about a planet being all one biome. As far as I know, Earth is not a common scenario. At least not as common as the single biome planets.
They do have more biomes, there just not shown as much in the movies, but here are some explanations: Tatooine lacks water and orbits two suns, and so while the heat can change it should be hot only at daytime. But there is probably polar ice caps. Kashyyk: the planet being natural has multiple biomes, but most are jungle Hoth: it’s basically ice age earth Coruscant: the entire planet is covered with cities and no biomes exist
Star Wars is a fantasy story in space. The evil empire, the emperor, the sorcerer, the last heir to an order of religious knights and his mentor, "magic", the princess, the smuggler, etc.. So just take all the locations on a D&D map and turn them into planets. The Capital, The Great Forest, The Arctic, The Volcano, The Great Desert, The Enemy Fortress, The Good Kingdom, The Plains, The Swamp, The Ocean, The Flying City in the Sky, etc..
Endor has both forest and deser and ocean. Dathomir has swamped, jungle, barren wasteland and ocean. Disney Star Wars planets are either California or Canada.
Let’s not pretend Lucas’s planets are all so different though. Tatooine is just desert. Hoth is just snow. And Endor, while additional material said it had more, in the movie itself was just a redwood forest that was easily accessible for a California studio.
@@leightonpetty4817 But at the same time, Naboo had jungle, forest, oceans, swamps, and plains. And Coruscant, while did feature a megalocity, did show that it had more than just the city in the orbital views. We never *saw* those in person, but they definitely were there. Mustafar, Hoth and Tatooine are probably the only ones that made real sense though, since those types of planets are very easy to exist. I mean just look at mars or the moon, or even venus. Two are eternal dust balls, and the third is a constant volcanic hellscape. Now whether you could *live* on these planets is an entirely different story :P :P
For planets far from their star, it makes sense they are cold all the time, what doesn't make sense is there is enough light there to see. For the planets that are hot, it doesn't make sense because regardless of rotation, half the planet is not facing the star. The whole atmosphere could be hot because of how close it is, but it wouldn't be bright and hot all at the same time
I imagine that like in Dune, the planets of Star Wars don't have the same weather all over. Different parts of Tatooine are drier, rockier or windier than others. Just like how all of Algeria isn't the same. It's especially true with planets like Kashyyyk, where they probably have different forest density in different areas and different trees that mold the environment in different ways, and probably have some ice caps too. Still love the video, just thought I'd put my perspective out there.
Tbf it’s really rare irl to have planets actually have nice weather. This is because planets r also not common in a very specific zone called the Goldilocks zone. Here the whether is similar to that of earth however terrain is different find terrain+weather is extremely difficult to find so much so the most earth like planet r light years away. Even now we haven’t found a one to one identical planet of earth only very similar even then we’re not sure if it’s similar enough.
The more rules you apply to starwars, the more it becomes like nerd startrek. People that cared about thoes details are usually trekkers. George while filming OT starwars, “yea that guy? Make him more space-y”
To be fair it's realistic that we are only shown one climate zone and one season - aka where a major city or resources are of whichever planet. It's likely they have ice caps and whatnot, but, planets are huge and we are seeing, like, what, a 10x10 km square at most with like 100x100m of it ever visited for a short period of time.
Great video. The actual reason is pretty cool world-building by George Lucas, the idea behind it was that each planet in Star Wars needed to be a distinct aesthetic so that it gave the impression of a huge sprawling galaxy with thousands of varied planets. The contrast helps the audience feel like there's a greater variety and accentuates each planet's unique features. A good example is when they focus on Tattoine and then switch to Hoth, for the greatest contrast possible. Those movies were good, once.
Across almost a dozen films; the planets are the same, the planet-killing weapons are the same, the villain is the same, the characters are the same, the placement of cutesy animals and bar scenes are the same, the plots are almost the same, the poor character development is the same.. What isn't the same? The continuity of any character's storyline, the consistency of spaceship logic, the consistency of "the force" logic, and when plot armor does or doesn't save or revive characters.
I don't get the point most are making that most planets are like that, like isn't that for uninhabitable planets or most habitable planets are just one biome?
And that's how Darth Vader flirts. I hate sand. It's coarse. It's rough. (I like soft things.) When I'm not with you I'm in agony. I can't breathe. Tell me you're feeling this way too?
ok Tatooine gets a pass because the entire planet was literally bombed into a sea of molten rock before cooling over time and eventually turning into dessert. but yeah all the other planets have no excuse
@@KatyshaM1 Yeah there's like a dozen books. I couldn't be arsed to look into it, but the lore is probably there somwhere. Edit: There's 381 total Star Wars novels 😂
it's not so much the planet being different distances from the star, the earth's orbit is nearly circular but because its axis of rotation is inclined relative to the sun's we get seasons and they end up different for the northern and southern hemispheres.
Well...to be fair... it is easy for an uninhabitable planet to be all hot or all ice. The question is: why are habitable worlds still all 1 climate with no sub-ecosystems and no seasons? (though I think it was Sullust that was tidal locked with its star. Presenting ice on 1 side. Desert on the other, with a habitable ring around its meridian...that was a cool scene)
I just operate under the assumption that all the planets in Star Wars are extremely small , like maybe a hundred mile diameter on average. Would explain why every planet seems to have maybe 2 major cities and a handful of other settlements.
Love the vid, but "not the same distance from the star the whole time" has almost nothing to do with temperature variation on earth or any other planet in our solar system, or probably any other planet without an extreme eccentricity in its orbit. Axial tilt is much more important.
I mean, it's kinda realistic Just look at our planets, look at the dwarf planets Sure some of them have neat features, but the only one with obvious multiple Biomes is Earth
Except... there are real desert planets... and ice worlds.. the Solar System is full of them. And we don't know what the rest of Endor looks like, or Naboo. Only saw a small part of them is shown in the movies. Who says they don't have climate zones?
It's already confusing enough having a cold planet called Hoth... Don't start to add different climate, biomes, civilization, culture and history... on different planets. it would be too confusing for our little brains.

Coruscant: the entire planet is covered with cities and no biomes exist
Star Wars is a fantasy story in space. The evil empire, the emperor, the sorcerer, the last heir to an order of religious knights and his mentor, "magic", the princess, the smuggler, etc..
So just take all the locations on a D&D map and turn them into planets.
The Capital, The Great Forest, The Arctic, The Volcano, The Great Desert, The Enemy Fortress, The Good Kingdom, The Plains, The Swamp, The Ocean, The Flying City in the Sky, etc..
This was some of your best animation. Massive kudos.
Endor has both forest and deser and ocean. Dathomir has swamped, jungle, barren wasteland and ocean. Disney Star Wars planets are either California or Canada.
Let’s not pretend Lucas’s planets are all so different though. Tatooine is just desert. Hoth is just snow. And Endor, while additional material said it had more, in the movie itself was just a redwood forest that was easily accessible for a California studio.
@@leightonpetty4817 But at the same time, Naboo had jungle, forest, oceans, swamps, and plains. And Coruscant, while did feature a megalocity, did show that it had more than just the city in the orbital views. We never *saw* those in person, but they definitely were there.
Mustafar, Hoth and Tatooine are probably the only ones that made real sense though, since those types of planets are very easy to exist. I mean just look at mars or the moon, or even venus. Two are eternal dust balls, and the third is a constant volcanic hellscape. Now whether you could *live* on these planets is an entirely different story :P :P
What about Alderaan? Oh that got blown up too...
Is it Endor of the moon of Endor?
@@DarkflameEmperor im pretty its the moon, since I remember reading that Endor was the gas giant the moon orbited and thought that was cool
reminds me of the first season of red vs blue
Actually in Mustafar’s case it makes sense that it only has one climate type. It’s a highly volcanically active moon, after all.
Also, does every species in the galaxy need the exact same atmosphere we humans are accustomed to?
Brilliant observation!
Honestly a great point
Don't forget the lava planet, swamp planet, cloud planet, captain planet, and pizza planet
The conversation was so organic that it fits the original trilogy better than the new trilogy.
For planets far from their star, it makes sense they are cold all the time, what doesn't make sense is there is enough light there to see.
For the planets that are hot, it doesn't make sense because regardless of rotation, half the planet is not facing the star. The whole atmosphere could be hot because of how close it is, but it wouldn't be bright and hot all at the same time
"I heard Alderaan was nice."
Too soon, bro... too soon 😢
Oh this was so good! Please make more!
corellia seems to be the only planet with more than 1 biome
“Maybe that’s why we are stationed on Tatooine.” LOL 😂😂😂
Honestly, Tatooine lore goes hard in EU. Most of it reads like a tragedy about exploitation and ecological disaster.
It's been Dune to death, really.
I imagine that like in Dune, the planets of Star Wars don't have the same weather all over. Different parts of Tatooine are drier, rockier or windier than others. Just like how all of Algeria isn't the same. It's especially true with planets like Kashyyyk, where they probably have different forest density in different areas and different trees that mold the environment in different ways, and probably have some ice caps too. Still love the video, just thought I'd put my perspective out there.
1:30 made me laugh to hard lol
So you forget endor is just 'spot in the woods'
Mars stays same 😂
Tbf it’s really rare irl to have planets actually have nice weather. This is because planets r also not common in a very specific zone called the Goldilocks zone. Here the whether is similar to that of earth however terrain is different find terrain+weather is extremely difficult to find so much so the most earth like planet r light years away. Even now we haven’t found a one to one identical planet of earth only very similar even then we’re not sure if it’s similar enough.
patrolling tatooine almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
"i hate sand"
the next day vader promoted him.
knowing the empire, they're probably grading freestanding ac units.
They sound like the comversations in jedi fallen order
I like how the chapters are like 10 seconds each lol
The more rules you apply to starwars, the more it becomes like nerd startrek. People that cared about thoes details are usually trekkers. George while filming OT starwars, “yea that guy? Make him more space-y”
To be fair it's realistic that we are only shown one climate zone and one season - aka where a major city or resources are of whichever planet. It's likely they have ice caps and whatnot, but, planets are huge and we are seeing, like, what, a 10x10 km square at most with like 100x100m of it ever visited for a short period of time.
I loved hearing was nice for Alderran
Bos Pity was literally the graveyard planet. Nothing but corpses in a cemetery.
Not to mention that all the planets have the same gravity.
Nabo had climates
same way how the gravity is the same on every planet
You only ever see the at most 10 kilometers-ish worth of these planets at any time. "One climate." No.
Great video. The actual reason is pretty cool world-building by George Lucas, the idea behind it was that each planet in Star Wars needed to be a distinct aesthetic so that it gave the impression of a huge sprawling galaxy with thousands of varied planets. The contrast helps the audience feel like there's a greater variety and accentuates each planet's unique features. A good example is when they focus on Tattoine and then switch to Hoth, for the greatest contrast possible. Those movies were good, once.
They're still good.
@@Darth_Xionn The original trilogy holds up really well, I just mean how the series took a nosedive
Across almost a dozen films; the planets are the same, the planet-killing weapons are the same, the villain is the same, the characters are the same, the placement of cutesy animals and bar scenes are the same, the plots are almost the same, the poor character development is the same..
What isn't the same? The continuity of any character's storyline, the consistency of spaceship logic, the consistency of "the force" logic, and when plot armor does or doesn't save or revive characters.
I don't get the point most are making that most planets are like that, like isn't that for uninhabitable planets or most habitable planets are just one biome?
Thanks
Utini!
And that's how Darth Vader flirts.
I hate sand. It's coarse. It's rough.
(I like soft things.) When I'm not with you I'm in agony. I can't breathe.
Tell me you're feeling this way too?
ok Tatooine gets a pass because the entire planet was literally bombed into a sea of molten rock before cooling over time and eventually turning into dessert. but yeah all the other planets have no excuse
They probably do have equally relevant lore though.
@@P4rz1va1 which we won't ever know
What kind of dessert? An ice cream SANDwich?
@@KatyshaM1 are you kidding? star wars has so much written lore, if you wanna find the history of a planet you probably can
@@KatyshaM1 Yeah there's like a dozen books. I couldn't be arsed to look into it, but the lore is probably there somwhere.
Edit: There's 381 total Star Wars novels 😂
Flash Gordon: 1 StarWars: 0
Even the desert planets of the solar system (like Mars & Venus) have more varied terrain
technically any planet which has oceans has at least 2 types of environment
XD
I love star wars I would love to see more!
Alderan is just jungle with ocasional mountein.
it's not so much the planet being different distances from the star, the earth's orbit is nearly circular but because its axis of rotation is inclined relative to the sun's we get seasons and they end up different for the northern and southern hemispheres.
Well...to be fair... it is easy for an uninhabitable planet to be all hot or all ice.
The question is: why are habitable worlds still all 1 climate with no sub-ecosystems and no seasons?
(though I think it was Sullust that was tidal locked with its star. Presenting ice on 1 side. Desert on the other, with a habitable ring around its meridian...that was a cool scene)
the reason why it's one biome is because it's not rotating on an angle
I want to go to Planet Hollywood
I just operate under the assumption that all the planets in Star Wars are extremely small , like maybe a hundred mile diameter on average. Would explain why every planet seems to have maybe 2 major cities and a handful of other settlements.
They always find their objective on first landing….. I think the planets must be moon size, or Death Star.
In space fiction Planet = Country.
Seasons are not caused by getting closer or farther away from the sun though.
Plot twist: the Empire noticed them miss the Jawas so they transferred these bucket heads to Alderaan, knowing full well it was about to be destroyed.
I hate everytime there is something happening on Tatooine f*cking the most anoying planet
I
And I
if only they knew....
Love the vid, but "not the same distance from the star the whole time" has almost nothing to do with temperature variation on earth or any other planet in our solar system, or probably any other planet without an extreme eccentricity in its orbit. Axial tilt is much more important.
That's nothing. In the MCU, each universe in the multiverse is just the planet Earth.
I mean, it's kinda realistic
Just look at our planets, look at the dwarf planets
Sure some of them have neat features, but the only one with obvious multiple Biomes is Earth
-cough- No man's sky -cough
Could be worse.. could be Kamino.
I heard utini was the jawas n word lol
Except... there are real desert planets... and ice worlds.. the Solar System is full of them. And we don't know what the rest of Endor looks like, or Naboo. Only saw a small part of them is shown in the movies. Who says they don't have climate zones?
People have mentioned this before. Running joke.
It's already confusing enough having a cold planet called Hoth...
Don't start to add different climate, biomes, civilization, culture and history... on different planets. it would be too confusing for our little brains.
