Though as a serious response, surely the planet relies on food produced locally in arcologies.

I've read through that whole comic when I first found it, all ~1000 or so. Been following it regularly since, but the last year or so hasn't been as good as it used to.
And I can't watch Star Wars without thinking of those comics. :D
I found this even more funny. Episode 1 portrayed as if it were a rollplaying games. Starts off slow but quickly becomes absolutely hilarious.

That's pretty amusing
The way they explain Jar Jar is just classic. :lol:

I like it. :)
Although at the second panel I did think the punchline of the fourth panel would be about the shapeshifting Wefts from McCaffrey's FSP books.

Why would it be unreasonable to expect 80,000 cargo ships a day arriving at Coruscant with 2.5 cubic kilometres of cargo space each?

Fortunately, we're discussing Star Wars, which is a pure fantasy. :smarty:

Cripes; let science fiction be science fiction. It's better than Dune's "Imperium of a Million Worlds." And besides, if we assume Coruscant to be a planet that's at least 95 percent covered by artificial structures of at least 20 or 30 floors, wouldn't the numbers for the building materials be pure fantasy as well? Oh, and let's not forget that the novel canon sets up a Super Star Destroyer being built under the surface of all that, as well. And somehow, there's still room for an asteroid-size "garbage-eating creature" that forms the nexus of Coruscant's sewer system.
:unsure:

My problem with the figure is the difficulty of cargo transfer. I'd expect that a ring of orbital elevators would need to exist around Coruscant's equator for bulk cargo transfer, but I've never seen a representation of the planet with even one orbital elevator.

Then again, orbital elevators are invisible from a distance, due to their small size. And for a society that has mastered gravity to some extent, they probably aren't even necessary. You could just have enormous landing fields and modular cargo bays.

The size those towers would be after at least 50000 years of development? They'd be huge. In fact, I could quite easily see there being a complete ring structure at the Equator connected to multiple towers/elevators. You might just be able to handle 80000 ships a day that way.

Huge compared to what?
At any rate, why bother with the elevators at all? They'd be a hazard.

The maps vary - more complex ones like that one seem to show a vast chunk of the Galaxy as the "Unknown Regions" but look at some of the small maps in the Yuuzhan Vong books and you see a much smaller slice of territory demarcated as the Unknown Regions.
Still, I'll give you that 90% may have been an exagerration; 80% then?

It is impossible to accurately determine that, given the map projection. It's impossible to tell what area 'Unknown Regions' describes. However, given the enormous speed of hyperdrive, there's every reason to suppose that it doesn't apply to anywhere in the galactic disc.

Unknown regions (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Region)
Quote
The Unknown Regions was broadly defined as areas not connected with the skein of reliable or well-known hyperspace routes spanning the galaxy, did not look to Coruscant as the ultimate center of civilization, or were not under the broad hegemony of the Galactic Republic before the Galactic Civil War.
and the Chiss aren't shown either. And the Sssi-Ruuk empire was never part of the Republic or the Empire.
