“Why The First Order Didn’t Blow Up Coruscant in The Force Awakens”:

I think it would have been a better to go with Bad Robot’s idea for Coruscant to have been blown up in The Force Awakens. It would have been more of a surprise for the story, something with more weight and resonance to it than the unfamiliar Hosnian Prime planet serving as the Capital. A planet we have no emotion or connection to.
Maybe using such an idea for the viewer watching it back in 2015 that anything or anyone could be blown up or killed, and that being a better start to the Sequel Trilogy. A more “edgier” and risky start? Though easy to say in hindsight.

Did any fan edits attempt to make Coruscant the planet destroyed in TFA?
