Please! There is no "Green Coruscant" planet. The title of Ryan Church's drawing is purely artistic, and it can be obviously inferred that the picture is of Coruscant itself, presumably the method of natural oxygen generation, although of course it would be insufficient and thus have to be augmented by mechanical oxygen generators.
- I've always thought it's a painting of Coruscant "back in the day", before it was one big city. But I agree that there's no indication that it's a planet on its own. - Lord Hydronium 03:02, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- And I've always thought it was a depiction of it post-Yuuzhan Vong War. Still not it's own world, though. jSarek 03:17, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
- I made sure to check on the park established on Coruscant after the YVW, IIRC this place doesn't correspond to that at all. Furthermore, I've never heard of Coruscant having entire city-blocks floating in the air like this. The name might not be for the planet itself, but I don't think it depicts anything on Coruscant. And it's not concept art, it was from a collection made specifically for the SW: Visionaries comic, a pictoral guide to the SW galaxy on Church's part. VT-16 15:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps this should be transformed to an OOU article then. "Concept art . . . stunning beauty . . . captivating image . . ." you get the idea--Erl 00:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
- Well, it's not OOU when the gallery in the book was meant to depict various places in the galaxy (it has the word "photographica" in the title, so it's not meant to be in-universe paintings). The architecture of the planet doesn't correspond with what we've seen of Coruscant (The skyscrapers there are either earthlike or rounded, but they don't hover like the DS II core, they're firmly on the "ground". Not to mention the near absense of air traffic lanes in this picture.) And in Rebellion 1, the planet being attacked has some similarities with this place (at least those smaller platforms are the same). VT-16 15:26, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep in mind that the parts of Coruscant we've seen, even in every single EU source that mentions it, make up a tiny, tiny, tiny piece of the place. I mean, it's a city that's an entire planet- really multiple cities stakced on top of each other across a planet. For comparison, the entirety of New York City is 301 square miles. To have a city that covered the Earth (and Coruscant must be almost exactly the same size, because of gravitational similarity), you would need over 654,000 New York Cities. And that's just on the surface. Anyway, my point is, 'it doesn't look like Coruscant' is not arguable because the vast majority of Coruscant has never been seen. --Thetoastman 18:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Going Forward
What should we do with this? Should we call it a piece of art based on Coruscant at a more verdant period in its history than that of the Galactic Civil War? jSarek 20:23, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
- How about this? I made it considerably more ambiguous, since ambiguity seems to be all we have to go on right now. --Thetoastman 18:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- Since Leland Chee answered in some thread about SW: Visionaries that most in the comic is canon, apart from "Old Wounds", this is an in-universe location. As for the "greening of Coruscant" in the YVW, did the Yuuzhan Vong effects look like green fields, or more reddish swampland, like the few drawings of it show. I've never heard of floating cityscapes like these on Coruscant, either. VT-16 17:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
