Coruscant only gets a mention in the first three films produced ( eps. IV, V, VI ) but plays a major part in the second trilogy ( I, II, III ). It is the heart of the Star Wars galaxy, the place where the Emporer reigns from. Before the Emporer came to power, it was the home for the Jedi Council and the Grand Assembly, something like the United Nations building in New York. It was created by Timothy Zahn for his Admiral Thrawn trilogy. Lucas liked the planet and it became central to the second three films. The scene set on Coruscant in the original series was added for the edited films in the late nineties.
