Hollow Planet Question -Naboo, Dathomir and Planet X (Star Wars Geology & Geography related)

1) Naboo was a planet without a molten core, filled with water and lots of caves. Ok, yet why did the Jedi have to go through the planets core to reach Theed from Otoh Gunga in TPM? All maps from sourcebooks/guidebooks show the cities much closer than on opposite sides of the planet. Any reasons? Aside from real world physics and storytelling issues I could never find a proper explanation to that!

2) Dathomir has temples in their pyramids that reach deep underground, with hollow spaces below the surface, yet not the whole world is hollow. But ancient Kwi/Kwa culture managed to have a whormhole from their temple to their space station elsewhere in their space (see Quinlan Vos comics!). My question: A whormhole ending within a planet? interesting... consequences? especially when the station got destroyed, what happened to the whormhole and what effects did Dathomir get, aside from "nothing to see here"

3) Planet X, a hypothetical world in the GFFA I want to ask you about: can hollow worlds exist in the GFFA? or can they exist side by side with molten-core-worlds? (think Hollow Earth theory for example) Centerpoint station was artificial but was a hollow world in its core with an artificial microsun at the center, created by the Celestials.

and last but not least:

4) Any other worlds that might fit in this topic I forgot? Help needed, add them and discuss!

 

1) I could have sworn they explained the "Planet's Core" was actually just a nickname for a series of deep canyons. Besides, me might have been told to use that to avoid the battle droid army.

2) Wormholes aren't real, they can do whatever they want.

3) Maybe. Mars does not have a liquid core. It long ago froze into a solid core. I could imagine that drilling or some natural force could then hollow out parts of the solid core.
Coures, any world with a solid core would be a dead world, like Mars.

 

3) but I meant live worlds, like hollow world theory utilized in a fictional fantasy universe. with a sun in the core, etc. though a artificial hollow planet, too would be impressive and interesting, good idea!

Well, their other option was walking there, right into a presumably already-occupied city. The canyons were probably a faster and more tactically covert approach.

 

but why through the core? the cities were only a few kilometers apart according to official maps (crossection books!), several 100 at maximum range. sure there has to be a faster route closer to the crust than through the core!

 

I'm going with the Jedi had Jar-Jar for a navigator. It's not like they knew their way around.

 

It... now all makes sense. That's even better than my treachery theory that Boss Nass was hoping to get rid of the Naboo people through the Trade Federation and later the Grand Army of Gungans can wipe droids off their world. Thus he sent them on a trip around the planet... but JarJar got it wrong, as always... and they ended up in Theed faster than they should have, actually NOT taking the Core route cause JarJar took a shortcut without realising it...
