even if you don't have the funds to show them all at least show a short image of the planet from order which shows the various climates and maybe have one of the officers make a remark they're landing in the [insert biome] region of the planet

Why? Unless you have scenes set there it doesn't matter.
Correct me if I'm wrong but we really only go to 5 planets in the OT? Tatooine, Hoth, Degobah, Bespin, and Endor.
An entirely arid planet is possible, and it's a none to subtle lift from dune, which spends a lot of time explaining the ecology of a desert planet and why it maintained a single biome.
Hoth is an ice planet. We have those in our solar system, it was theorized that earth at one point in its history was a frozen ice ball as well.
Degobah seen from orbit had a lot of green and blue, and was mostly covered in fog so you really can't make assumptions about what the rest of the planet is like outside of a few square miles around yoda's hut. If you look at the picture of degobah it's pretty earth like in appearance, just less brown and beige parts.
Bespin is a gas giant. What do you expect to see but clouds?
And Endor is kind of the same thing as degobah. But smaller. It even has visible ice caps.

>I'd love to see you flesh one out in a few hours
You literally just come up with a bunch of dorky names for fields and mountains and cities and shit, it's not hard. Watch, I'll do it in five minutes:

In the land of Merrikesh, where the Grehgist River flows between the Great Boulders of Alghal into the windswept dunes of Mirth, into the dry plains of Anahgon where the monstrous flaygors sleep, into the rocky ashes of Mouldon, and finally into the Crion, another river sprouted from the faraway land of Redvail, and they continue south into the distant red wastes of Turinaga that crawls with serpents and dangerous beasts large and small, as the mighty Turinian River. And where the rivers meet, on the black delta, there is the city of Selvos, a prosperous city of power and wealth, with armies tens of thousands strong that ride upon the backs of great lizards and fight with curved rakkas. Their people are black as night, with eyes as yellow as the scorched earth beyond their mighty walls, which are adorned with tapestries describing three hundred years of terrific victories against their rivals, who are the Ferrodants of Derio far to the west. Their city is filled with ancient temples, covered in the shacks of the poor and overlooked by grassy hills which are home to the powerful rich. Their symbol, which is inscribed on the great stones they have erected across countless lands, is the komodo dragon.

There, I just came up with about a thousand square miles of a world in about five minutes. It probably wouldn't take me too much longer to build a whole world if I was a hack who actually wrote this shit for a living. Coupled with the literal hordes of people they have writing Star Wars lore, I imagine they could do a bit better.

Realistically most planets would only consist of one biome, but Star Wars does absolutely have many planets with varied locations.

That said, the OT + TFA is guilty of the single-biome planet cliche, TFA much moreso due to it being an intended rip-off.

The Prequels/TCW/Other Canon media made by George or Lucasfilm showed much more diverse locations, and many that obviously could not be found on Earth.

Fuck JJ Abrams though, for real.

>>87745368
According to Wikipedia
>More than five million cubic kilometers of ice have been identified at or near the surface of modern Mars, enough to cover the whole planet to a depth of 35 meters (115 ft)

>>87745457
>The Prequels/TCW/Other Canon media made by George or Lucasfilm showed much more diverse locations

like what? Water Planet, City Planet and Lava Planet?

>>87745418
Most of the martian ice cap is actually dry ice.
But yes, we know there is water on mars now, that it had liquid water at one point, and there have been a few satellite images from one of the mars missions that may have identified liquid water appearing sporadically on the surface.

>>87741152

theres clear evidence of liquid water currently on mars (channels that weren't there before)

smaller planets can support larger mountains. The more gravity you have, the rounder you are, which means mountains get flattened out. If Earth was denser, the Himalayas wouldn't be as tall even with the same plate tectonics.

>>87741152
Global culture is and isn't a thing, it depends on where you live. At places American culture has infused into local, some places are still relatively free of massive foreign influences.

Star Trek homogenizes alien races to a level where there's only one language, on religion, one way of thinking etc. where as Earth still is a potpourri of things even in most homogenized areas.

>>87747903
The eu one is boring

What bugs me more than single biome planets is the fact that none of the biomes are truly alien or different at all to what you would find on earth.

Except maybe Mustafar.

>>87740014
This isn't unreasonable if the planet developed like this from the start. Most of the human planets in Star Wars were colonized by people with high tech coming in with starships. It'd be if a bunch of French settled within a star system, they will obviously all be some variation of French culture.

>>87738657
Even mars doesn't have just one biomes. It has ice caps, and parts get wetter in the summer than other. It's easy to imagine it's all just the same shit when you see it from space though.

Humanoids of the Star Wars galaxy didn't evolve on the planets they inhabit, they're immigrants through the Empire's growth. I think. Did the nerds who wrote all the backstory have them originating from earth? Anyway, it makes sense that human life would be seen on planets that support human life. Sure, there are planets with silicon based life forms, but the environment would insta-kill humans, or be such a pain in the ass to film, with all of the actors in environment suits. Like Alien, on the planet with the crashed ship.
But Star Wars is space opera. You're not supposed to think that deeply about it. OF COURSE all species breathe air - that's easier to film.

>>87752129
Dark Star did it right.

>>87754399
>it makes sense that human life would be seen on planets that support human life.
First of all, Tatooine, Hoth, Bespin, Mustafar, Kamino, Geonosis and arguably Coruscant would all be incapable of supporting human life.

Secondly, that point is wrong anyway because, like you said, you're not supposed to think that deeply about it.
Why would you NOT have Luke and the gang walking around without environment suits on the planet from Alien?
The action and drama in Star Wars is to be driven by the characters, not the habitability of exoplanets.

Yep, Luke's environment was representative of how he felt about his life. That's why the Cantina is such a freakshow too. He steps out of his element and everything is just weird shapes and noise and he almost gets killed before his adventure even starts.

The Death Star is incredibly big, cold and hostile in it's own way. It's unnaturally clean compared to Luke's home and all the rusted shitbuckets that pass for spaceships.

Yavin 4 is lush and green. A garden. Something worth preserving. Nature. Purity, all that. They even operate out of an old temple to reinforce the notion that it's a peaceful, spiritual environment.

In Empire you get similar thematic settings. Hoth is another remote, inhospitable place. So they make it snow and ice. Dagobah is another Cantina-style overload of weirdness. Cloud City is dreamlike, with a nightmare hidden inside. Luke falls from the clouds down a dark chasm as he learns some unpalatable truths.

Jedi returns to Tatooine to show how Luke has changed. And to have Han finally separate from the background that's been haunting him through the series. Quick return to Dagobah, again to show where Luke is in his journey. Forest Moon, the Empire and it's machines has now invaded "the garden" setting and must be pushed out. Ewoks should have been Wookees to round of the character arcs. We saw Han finish his arc. We should have seen Chewie finish his. Final battle is a repeat of the first movie. Again, Han should have been flying the Falcon. He's leading the attack, not just coming in at the last minute. His loyalty now expanded to the whole group, not just his buddy/brother. Luke faces the dark truths about himself in the form of Vader and the Emperor. Another dark environment. Spiderweb windows denoting the trap that's been laid. And another dark chasm underfoot.

Environments that reflect the characters' inner journey are a shortcut to our unconscious minds and will leave the viewer feeling like they had a richer experience.
