Comments[edit]

In Prelude to Foundation it is quoted that there are only 25 million inhabited worlds. Although at the time of the novel, 12020 GE, it is possible that the number of worlds had decreased from 200 at the peak of the Empire. Just a thought. Furthermore, isn't a date of closer to 12,000 AD a better fit to the date that the Galactic Era started? It seems like at the end of Foundation and Earth, R. Daneel Olivaw says something like he is over 20,000 years old at that time (close to 12570 GE), and in The Caves of Steel it was quoted that he was built something like 3,000 years after the founding of New York. Another thought. Cbing01 19:16, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It is amusing to note that, where it anyone less famous than George Lucas, people might say Coruscant was plagerised from Trantor, rather than using such a kind word as 'borrowed'.

If you accuse Lucas of plagerism, goons turn up at your house and they never find your corpse. I thought everyone knew that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.171.111.194 (talk) 13:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Starship and Sun.jpg[edit]

Image:Starship and Sun.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

List of emperors[edit]

I like the trivial minutae of certain works of fiction as much as the next guy, but in recent years lists like this have been deemed WP:Trivia or WP:Fancruft, and removed. Most of these names aren't even actual characters in any of the books. Wikipedia once had many fancrufty lists and articles, some of which were even created by a younger me, but they are gone now because we have tight content guidelines here. Interested fans can this information (and more) at [1] or [2]; franchise-specific wikis like these have few restrictions on content as compared to Wikipedia's stricter guidelines.— TAnthony^Talk 17:22, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pirate hommage[edit]

Should be included: the pirate library nammed after this "Imperial library of Trantor", on the darkweb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 10:11, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Trantor in Star Wars?[edit]

I'm not a Star Wars expert, but I've seen every movie and never heard of Trantor. I'm calling BS and removing this statement

There is a planet called Trantor in the Star Wars universe, and it is also an ecumenopolis and the home of trantor pigeons (and is located in the galaxy's Deep Core).

until this statement is verified by a reliable source. Un school 22:04, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
