That looks good.

Absolutely fantastic. I swear, I get more excited every time one of these is posted

Indeed

I like the smog effect.

Way better than the previous version, it looks more like a supercrowded over-used planet now. The haze is really nice.

That pic is amazing with the sun just behind the planet. Good work

Looks like prime location to me

That is a juicy target for a Galaxy Gun.

It's certainly very well done, but I think it's somewhat less detailed than it should be (linked, huge):

Coruscant is definitely the most familiar-looking ecumenopolis. Things which I think make it look more plausible are noted: some of the circles have varying thickness, they have smaller circles and lines radiating in a crater-like fashion, some circles are tangent to each other, lines are typically short. Finally the contrast is much lower, and there are random smatterings of buildings just as bright as the rings.

I definitely love the smog. It's a nice touch, especially for places like Metellos, Skako and Vulpter.

If you were able to see it more closely, there are smaller rings and different series of lights that are just as bright as the circles without being part of the circles (the latter is definitely visible). Also, keep in mind that the Coruscant picture you linked to shows Coruscant in a different way than most other images of Coruscant, since I'm pretty sure it's from the Clone Wars Cartoon; one which doesn't actually translate very well ingame when you try to replicate it, since UV stretching/seams tend to be more pronounced and there's a lot more negative space.

I'm still working on the rings, but while that means there'll be more detail than there currently is I still intend to stick to the movie style over the Clone Wars Cartoon style.

Still, I'd prefer to target Mon Calamari if you ask me

No, far more fun to load all the gungans on transport ships and just drop them off on Kashykk to see how much of their annoyance the wookies can take before they start slaughtering all the gungans.

No send them to Korriban to see what the sith will do with them.

Oooooooooooooooooh, yes, even better!!

The Sith? That's more merciful than they deserve. But there isn't much worse you can do than the Sith, especially the True Sith. The Vong, maybe?

Do that and witness how a new dark side cult emerges from Korriban, betraying their Imperial allies and massacring the Jedi on Ossus. Eventually their leader and the new Imperial Majesty would reveal his secret identity to be A'Shar... Jar Jar Binks!
