Pretend it's the Galactic Republic, I'm an interstellar real estate agent, and all of you either have good credit or loads of cash. What planet do you want to live on?
Naboo - Lots of forests and swamps. No molten core; lots of underground oceans. A geologist's dream. Tatooine - Desert planet with lots of plains, canyons, etc. Twin suns make for a gorgeous sunset. Here, you don't dig for water - you farm it out of the air. Some problems with organized crime, but it's a hell of a lot better than nearby Geonosis (another desert world). Coruscant - Capitol world of the Republic. It's a planet-sized city, for cryin' out loud. Wildlife is scarce, but there's tons of commerce, entertainment, food, etc. Not to mention Jedi. Hoth - I won't lie to you; this planet's a big ball of snow and ice. Nights are brutal, and a nearby asteroid field peppers Hoth with meteors. But the multiple moons at night are worth the occasional frostbite. Alderaan - Peaceful. No weapons. Grasslands, small seas, and lovely night skies. "Mostly harmless." Bespin - Gas giant. No such thing as a "surface" on this planet. Mining colonies have established huge floating cities. Not recommended for those with a fear of heights. Kashyyk - Thick forests, and I do mean thick. Many trees are a couple of miles tall. A unique ecosystem. If you don't mind your neighbors being Wookies, biodiversity awaits you here. Kamino - Waterworld. Lots of storms. Not many people know about this planet, but they've got exciting job opportunities for geneticists and biologists who don't mind a little cloning. Mustafar - Love volcanoes, pyroclastic flows, and rivers of lava? Welcome home. This planet is a giant mass of volcanoes. Housekeeping hint: you can make great soap out of pumice. Yavin IV - It's actually a habitable moon that orbits the gas giant Yavin. Lush forests and ancient temples - uh, wait a second. Aren't those the remains of Sith temples? Maybe we'd better move along.
