The DARK Truth Behind Coruscant’s Lowest Levels

Short Video Description Coruscant is the capital of the galaxy. Over a trillion beings live on it. And from orbit, it looks like the most advanced civilization ever built. But the Senate sits on top of a city that goes down thousands of levels, and the further you descend, the worse everything gets. The water gets dirtier. The air gets heavier. The government disappears. And the people who keep the whole machine running have never once seen the sky. This documentary traces the full vertical structure of Coruscant, from the clean towers of the Senate district to the ancient ruins beneath the Jedi Temple, to answer a question Star Wars never directly asks: what is the Republic actually built on.
