Ah, here we are. I spelt it wrong, and my use of the word 'original' is also suspect. From the OS:
"The earliest incarnation of Coruscant appeared in the rough draft scripts of Star Wars, when the Imperial capital world was known as Alderaan. Subsequent rewrites briefly changed its name to Granicus before dropping it from the A New Hope storyline altogether.
The Imperial capital world was resurrected in the draft scripts for Return of the Jedi, this time as Had Abbadon. The script described a city-covered planet plagued by pollution and home to the Emperor's throne. Practical considerations of realizing this planet on screen, as well as the evolving storyline of Episode VI, resulted in the capital world again being abandoned.
Author Timothy Zahn gave Coruscant its name in his 1991 novel, Heir to the Empire. When it came time to finally unveil the galactic capital on the big screen in the revamped ending of the Return of the Jedi Special Edition release, Lucas adopted the name Coruscant."
homer simpson says had abbodon when he is raving like a lunatic in "The Shinning" episode of tree house of horrors. as for he name debate, I thought it was called coruscant under the republic, but the empire changed the name of the planet to imperial city. BTW, an Idea i'd like to throw out. the december issue of insider said that yoda new about the law of two because the jedi discovered bane's writings and may have even killed off a master and apprentice (or so they thought) shortly after Lord Kaan's sith insurection. based on some spoilers about palpatine's appearance in episode 3, do any of you think it's possible that he is several hundred years old and maybe only a fifth or sixth generation sith after bane?
just a question....is Sidious the "jedi" who ordered the clone army to be made? and is he the 'jedi' who deleted the archive files? did he have anything to do with the death of master cipher dias (spelling?) Somewhere in there has Sidious been playing the part of a jedi too?
I should say too that I'm new to this forum and if these questions have been discussed before and flamed then....(runs and hides).
yeah cool I guess they never really pointed to a time line in where the info in the archive was erased. I also heard, although I guess it would have to be EU but kinda fits in this thread, that Sidious gets into the cloning somwhere along the line. After we see him killed in RotJ his "spirit" travels into another clone and he kicks on a bit. Might tie in with the cloners from ep2 or at least tie Sidious to them a little more.
