As we review the compatibility of the current JvS galaxy with the Legacy era, some underused planets have gone away. But we're also curious what's missing. While it has been our long-standing policy not to add any new planets until such a time as a vast majority of the current planets see increased activity, we will always consider changes if there is enough support for those changes.
And so we want your help. What planets do you feel are missing from JvS?
Please consider not only a planet's significance in canon, but also whether you yourself would RP on these worlds.
Note 1: Raxus Prime will be addressed separately
Note 2: Planets from Episode VII will be addressed separately

Note 2: Planets from Episode VII will be addressed separately D'Qar shouldn't be in this poll, then.  I would love to see Lothal, though that one's a pretty weird technicality. There's not a lot on its history in Legends, but it's a whole different ball game in Canon. The issue would be what we decide to go with... which in that case I'd vote for the Canon version. It also adds a bit of fresh recognition to newcomers who may be coming off of Rebels, or the new canon in general. As for others on this list, I'm not sure I can find much of a compelling reason to argue for their inclusion. |

Of those planets listed I only really recognize three of them, and the third from Rebels. I assume they played some sort of important role in Legends (EU) but unless I googled each of those planets I would not know.
As you said Raxus Prime will be addressed sepratly my vote is for none

I must admit to being surprised that Mygeeto was on the list; I could have sworn that it already was on the boards. xD
As for Hypori, it seems like a fairly major location within canon considering the major battle which occurred there, Sideous and Maul's training there, as well as the fact that it produced a large portion of the Confederacy's armies. In regard to writing there, the group that I write with has actually been looking for a minor industrial world that isn't one of the major shipyards to set up on ever since we had to change our plans and I could see Hypori working well for us. Obviously I can't speak for them, but knowing what they like in a planet I could easily see them being for setting up on Hypori so it would likely see plenty of RP

I would like to see Mygeeto back. I know the First Order will definitely go and roleplay on it since its part of the Imperial Sector and use it for training snowtroopers!

Mygeeto and Hypori were on JvS in the past, and were both archived for inactivity.

Well Hypori is about to get some action if it is unarchived or done anew.

As for Lothal, well, the Rebel Alliance needs a nonstandard headquarters...  Also I've been trying to pinpoint where Lothal is located but it's strangely not on any official map yet; Wookiee only mentions it's in the Outer Rim. My best guess is the West Rim, since Mustafar didn't seem too far away. |

Well Hypori is about to get some action if it is unarchived or done anew. I can confirm this as well; our writing group (Which consists of eight writers and is currently writing on Anoth) would love to set up the public business front of our group on Hypori so it would definitely get roleplay. I don't think we'd intend to close the planet off from other RPers either, so it would probably be available for others to write on as well. |

Hypori has my vote, it will have activity should it come back

Lothal has my vote considering it could potentially bring in several different factions on the site based on it's points of interest. It might be just me but I would add in any planets crucial to the main story of the films either way. Now a planet like Ahch-To (Lukes refuge in The Force Awakens) it's point of interest is called ''First Jedi Temple''. If we were ever to add a planet like that, we could just change the point of interest to ''Ancient Jedi Temple'' for example since keeping its name would alter this universe's history.

Rakata Prime/ Ahch-To are essentially just a renamed Lehon. So, personally, I don't see the point of adding that onto the boards when it's basically here already. lol

Glee Anselm is missing from the JvS Universe. As my character is Nautolan (and I've encountered several others in my travels), I think it a strange oversight since it's the species' homeworld.

On my end? Not much interest in that place. To me, there just isn't enough on Glee Anselm to justify it returning to the boards after it was archived. They're so many places that have resorts and the like, the only difference is that this one has fish people with tentacle hair. Whoo. For me, just in comparison to some of these worlds on the list, there's nothing of import on the planet to justify a dedicated thread.

Kothlis
Mid Rim
Bothan sector - bothan colony.
Ablis forest
Ragnook mountains
Tal'cara (Capital)
This was the place of the battle of Kothlis were the rebal forces and many bothan civilians died to secure the plans for the 2nd Death Star. Mom mothma's famous line "Many Bothan's died to bring us this information" speaks of this place.
Also if you ask me... the screen writers for Rogue One read about this battle and used it as a direct basis for the battle of scarif, the similarities are to close to overlook.
Seems like a pretty important place to me and I've always wondered why it was never added, Not to mention, on a more personal note, it was the homeworld of the first character I ever wrote on JvS 1.0 all those years ago.
