What is the importance of the forest moon of Coruscant? This is the big one.

I had toyed around with the possibility of moving the Jedi temple to a moon of Coruscant....just to put it in a more remote location, not so much in the city center.....as I've always felt that it should have been more connected to nature, more isolated and monk-like in its emplacement. But it would really depend on how much of the original material from the films one wanted to keep in an edit. People travel to the temple in open top speeders, so this idea wouldn't work....unless you were changing or removing that from your edit and having them arrive in space-going ships instead (the travel time would hardly need to change as a moon is still fairly close). Ultimately I realized that it would be an easier idea to integrate if you simply put the temple in a sort of nature preserve on Coruscant....sort of like Central Park in NY. You could have a central road leading through the park to the temple, and on each side would be fields. One might see Jedi farming their own food.....fields filled with Jedi meditating alone or in ground being led by a master......very reminiscent of old samurai films (the Zatoichi series comes to mind).

But if one wanted, perhaps the now destroyed Jedi temple could have been on a forested moon of Coruscant. It wouldn't necessarily be of huge importance to the Empire, but they might choose to desecrate the temple further by building the shield generator there to protect the main planet.
