For authors like myself exploring the realms of fanfiction, this is the perfect way to begin as everything has been done for you the world has already been set up by someone else. It is an age old adage that you should copy the masters before you can develop your own style, like designing stories and universes. No matter what the reason might be, these previously established worlds give beginning authors some place to start their writing. Maybe we want the cheat way out when it comes to inserting a character into a story. Maybe we don't want to have to think about all the other factors and baggage that come with designing and establishing our own planet within the Star Wars universe. Maybe we believe it's easier to write a story on a pre-populated world rather than having to establish and generate our own. Wokkieepedia is a great place to hit up for inspiration of planets and cultures. Those are very few and far between, but can be done quite well if one puts only a little bit of research and/or thought into it. The rarest times are when we want to create our own stories, histories and cultural practices upon the planet we've set the overarching story on. Other times it's because we liked how an author portrayed the planet in their published novel or comic. Many times, it's because we know the specifics of the planet, the species and the culture that we set our stories upon because it has already been established by the canon authors of Star Wars. And it's rare to find a Star Wars story that does not feature one of these planets somewhere in it.
These are all planets that many of the Star Wars fan-base are familiar with, in at least a general sense. Tatooine, Coruscant, Kamino, Ryloth, Lothal. So why do we only pick a select few planets to go from? From the Deep Core to the Unknown Regions, there are hundreds of thousands of planets, people's and species just waiting to be explored and detailed within your own stories. We all know that the Star Wars galaxy is huge.
