    Forget all of these well-travelled planets; I want to see some of the *really* underused ones:
    Wukkar
    Kaikiellius
    Nar Bo Sholla
    Norne
    Sinded
    Bnach
    Bront
    Aikhibba
    Gavryn

    Okay, and a couple of less-underused ones:
    Tiss'sharl
    Alsakan
    Tallaan
    Dromund Kaas
    Dromund Kalakar VI
    Gerrenthum
    Lutrillia
    Annaj

    I guess it will depend on the timeline now. Didn't most of the other planets in the system get smashed when the Vong made Yuuzhan'tar?

    **** Yeah!!

    And also, add in some of those city-worlds in the Core Worlds, and more Deep Core worlds.

    How about some NEW planets? I think Commonore should have beenthe new capitol. Instead of trying to rehabilitate slag.

    Wasn't Denon the temporary capital?

    I wish it would've stayed there.

    It's like a sickness, this pressing need for Coruscant.
    I love Coruscant...but it doesn't need to be the "end all".

    It annoys me when a planet gets used or mentioned in a single source, then never used again.
    For example, there are lots of these planets in the Jedi Quest / Apprentice series.

    I also think there should be more about Commenor and Chandrila in the Old Republic era.

    Went bankrupt. Apparently building freighters doesn't pay the Tardis bills.

    On second thought, there was nothing much to see anyway. Gallifrey was Tatooinian.

    Those things I want to see in the live-action TV series, maybe in the 3D Clone Wars too.
    Carida- meh, I shouldn't have gotten destroyed. Endless ranks of raw stormiesm pilots, gunners, marines marching... stormies fighting rancors...how the civialian population deals with so many military.
    Mon Calamari- I really want to see this thing for "real"! With the orbital shipyards, floating cities, quarren colonies in the depths of the ocean, etc.
    Manaan- same thing here. Loved that planet, I just ran across Achto City looking around and staring at the ocean...
    Chandrilla- oh, when?! Especially since it was one of the biggest and most powerfull supporters of the Rebellion!
    Sullust- that would be nice, some volcanoes and SoroSuub factories...
    Mandalore- for (maybe not so) obvious reasons.

    And, hang on tight (please don't bash me for this)...

    Corellia- well, we've read so much about it. Too much, almost. I just want to see than planet in a Star Wars movie, what's so special about it?!

    I believe only the moons of Coruscant were destroyed.

    Delaya, in the Alderaan system, would be interesting to cover. They got front row seats to the destruction of their neighbor, and now share their system with a planetary graveyard - that's got to have had an impact.

    Garqi, New Plympto, and Makem Te are a few others I'd like to see. New Plympto at least will be in Dark Times.

    Druckenwell's always sounded to me like some little town in England.

    Coruscant's moons are there. It was the NJO's most biggest bull of all: moving moons around like pool balls, yep, no problem at all, all in a paragraph. I genuinely thought I was misreading things; up until that point, Traitor had read okay.

    where in the GFFA is the dromund system? I know it was part of the sith empire, but that was a pretty big area, still.

    i know it was outer rim, but where in the rim?

    if i had to guess, it would be near the Tingel Arm, between the Hydian Way and the Perlemian Trade Route. Is anybody able to narrow this down for me, please?


    edit: i found that it is in "Sith Space" as a sector, where Korriban and 120+ other worlds are... I just don't know where in that area.

    If it's not Tatooine, Hoth, Coruscant, or Yavin 4..... then it's an under-used planet.

    I third that. I would think we are headed towards a Ziost/Korriban visit in the Legacy of the Force books. We have seen the planets in literature past but it would be nice to revisit them with the current characters and with current ideas about the Sith. Of course, revisiting them in the form of another Sith Lord book (I still think Tales of the Sith with a short about 4 different Sith Lords would rock) would suit too.

    Jason Fry, who is normally really good about placing planets and sectors, intentionally left its location vague when working on the Dark Forces articles for Wizards so he wouldn't hand-tie future authors wanting to use it.

    Alderaan - pre-explosion of course
    Bothuwai - Haven't seen it in anything since SOTE
    Korriban - who doesn't love a haunted Sith planet? I would vacation there.
    Taris - did it become mechanical and military or green and nice? After Kotor.
    Manaan - another Kotor world that could use more attention.
    Irridonia - we've seen v ery little of it so far, that i can think of.

    Most worlds are underused. Check out the list of planets on the Wook: there are over a thousand worlds already created in the EU. Instead, we get Tatooine, Hoth, Coruscant, Naboo, or Nar Shadaa. Over and over again.
