Why Most Star Wars Fans Actually Don't Know Much about the Battle of Coruscant

This battle deserved a dedicated season in the Clone wars TV show.

The Battle of Coruscant was one of the most beautiful space battles in Star Wars. The music the visuals, the story are all stunning, especially in 2005.

It is horrifying to notice how much of a master stroke this was from Palpatine, he destroyed what was left of the droids and left the republic with its pants completely down and incredibly scared in one foul swoop. Tzeentchian level of manipulation.

"As the Clone Wars progressed, more and more ground-based legions found themselves pressed into space combat, including the fighting forces of the 501st. For months, every hour of our downtime was spent in the simulator, preparing for the time we would face our enemies from the cockpit of a 170. Finally the day came to earn our wings. The CIS had staged a daring kidnapping of Chancellor Palpatine, and was being escorted from Coruscant by a fleet of Separatist ships. With only a few veteran pilots on-planet, many of the 501st were pressed into service to drive off the Seps, and buy time for a pair of Jedi Knights to rescue the Chancellor." "After disabling the final capital ship, General Kenobi and Skywalker took advantage of the opportunity we'd created and rescued the Chancellor. Took all the credit, too."

Geetsly: far too late, they realized the invasion was a diversion… Palpatine: far too late, they realized that the kidnapping was a diversion…

This puts the urgency of Anakin and Obi-Wan rescuing the Chancellor much more apparent at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.

Man imagine if they covered this in the Clone Wars That could've been at least 5 episodes

Ah, the Battle of Coruscant. The overall badassery schtick there: captain Fordo wrecking the battlefield; Yoda with Windu fending off the threat; Shaak Ti protecting Palpatine; general Grievous tricking the Jedi and capturing Palpatine; Windu damaging Grievous chest chasis. All of them acting like chads 😁

Fordo: "Sector 4 needs reinforcements, we are being overrun. Repeat, we are..." Proceeds to dual wield a DC15 and pistol

I’d say the Genndy Tartakovsky’s portrayal of the battle in 2003 was insanely good.

We need an animation or a live action Battle of Corusant in a movie or series.

I kinda found it crappy that we never got a more in depth look at the battle of coruscant as it was pivotal part of the clone wars that was near the end. Especially since the separatists sent so many droids and vehicles which would choke out republic forces sans Jedi.

The fact that some SW fans don’t know of the legend that is Captain Fordo feels insulting

The now legends and amazing Republic commando novels have a great few chapters of it.I wish they recanonised them and kal skirata

This was the capital of the Galactic Republic and one must remember that there was probably hundreds of thousands of street fighting going on, for the first time the Clone Army actually pushed to its limits, and this was the beginning of the end of the war, Jedi, and the Republic democracy.

All I know is Captain Fordo singlehandedly held off a superbattle droid attack with a DC-15 and a pistol.

The Battle of Coruscant was big enough to warrant it's own movie. I'd hoped that in the Sequel Trilogy we'd get a second Battle of Coruscant with the Rebel Alliance/New Republic moving to retake the planet from the Empire. Instead, we got... well, you know.

They should make a movie of a family just trying to survive the Battle of Coruscant. No need to have a big player hog the spotlight. Star Wars needs to experiment with other genres.

And in the center of all of this, an old man who played 4d chess against himself.

An FPS game set entirely in the battle of Coruscant would be epic. Chapters set in different areas of the planet from the epic ground battles, aerial battles to ship to ship combat above
