What Is It Like to Be Rich in Star Wars?

What is it actually like to be rich in Star Wars? Forget moisture farmers, smugglers, soldiers, and people running for their lives. You were born into the tiny elite living at the very top of the galaxy. Your apartment sits high above Coruscant where natural sunlight still reaches the windows. Droid servants prepare imported food from worlds like Naboo and Alderaan. Private airspeeders carry you across the city. A personal yacht can take you to a villa, Cloud City, or anywhere else you feel like going. And if you are injured, bacta and advanced cybernetics can repair damage that would be permanent almost anywhere else. For most of the day, being rich in Star Wars looks incredible. But there is one thing your money cannot buy: Freedom from the Empire. From luxury apartments and droid servants to private starships, Imperial contracts, advanced medicine, security, Canto Bight, the ISB, Mon Mothma, and the destruction of Alderaan — this is one full day in the life of the galactic elite. Because in the Galactic Empire, you can own almost anything. You just never truly own your life. 00:00 Born Rich in a Galaxy Far, Far Away 01:03 Waking Up Above the Clouds 02:25 Breakfast Served by Droids 04:14 Speeders, Yachts and Cities in the Sky 05:01 Doing Business with the Empire 05:41 The Best Medicine Money Can Buy 06:50 Bodyguards and Spies 07:56 Playgrounds of the Rich 09:13 When Night Falls 11:00 Something in the Sky #StarWars #StarWarsLore #GalacticEmpire #Coruscant
