Does anyone know how long Coruscant's been inhabited?

Pretty damned long time...

I'll go hunt it down for you.

thank you, i have dial-up.

Found it.

First mention of Coruscant being inhabited were the Taungs, an ancient people native to Coruscant that took control 200,000 before the Battle of Yavin, wiping out the Zhell, another native people. The planet is covered with mountains and green valleys and so on...

...but somewhere between that time and 100,000 before the Battle of Yavin, the Galactic Republic chose Coruscant as their capitol world. The Taungs and Zhell are considered extinct, but most likely live in the depths of the cityscape that now covers the planet, though you can still see the floor of the city down below. The only thing left uncovered was a mountain in Monument Plaza.

But I thought the Republic was only about 19 000 years old by the rise of the Empire?

It was more like 25,000, but I'm guessing it was a different form of the Galactic Republic. A lot smaller. Also, 95,000 before the Battle of Yavin was the last time that the floor of Coruscant saw the light of day.

I think i remember reading something like that, years ago.

I really think the Old Republic is alot older than what KOTOR made it out to be. Plus, did those alien races look humanoid, or what?

I think so. The Taungs had pinkish skin and reddish eyes, kind of Chiss-like.

Maybe the descendants of the Chiss? Who kick ass by the way.

I wonder what the Zhell look like.

Not a clue. Humanoid, not doubt.

Oh well

They probably resemble some of the undesirables who are often seen lurking in the lower parts of the city, feasting on corpses.

Most likely...

Vader has fun killing those in his spare time.

Vader has fun killing those in his spare time. And after he does that, he lives with them, learns their way and their language, and in time, breeds with their women.

If you play The Phantom Menace for CPU you can journy down to the Coursant Undercity as Captain Panaka.

Nar Shaddaa comes to mind.

Plus the shitty graphics didn't help.

Well...sure the graphics sucked and the game sucked...and well your absoluly right...that game sucked used dick that has been prossessed into spam. Although the lightsaber duel with Maul was pretty fun...although his Force lightning was a real pain to deal with.

It was way off from the movie.

Which also sucked ass.
