Here’s why this planet still matters so much and why coming back to it in Episode IX could work. In fact, there are three compelling reasons why Rise of Skywalker will be incomplete with Coruscant.

Since 1991, Star Wars fans have thought of Coruscant as a pivotal planet, a place filled with tons of history - and also a great cityscape for a good chase sequence. For a thousand generations, the Republic and the Jedi Knights kept the peace in the galaxy, governing from the planet Coruscant.
