Talk:Galactic Empire (Asimov)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Prelude to Foundation it is quoted that there are only 25 million inhabited worlds. Although at the time of the novel, 12020 GE, it is possible that the number of worlds had decreased from 200 at the peak of the Empire. Just a thought. Furthermore, isn't a date of closer to 12,000 AD a better fit to the date that the Galactic Era started? It seems like at the end of Foundation and Earth, R. Daneel Olivaw says something like he is over 20,000 years old at that time (close to 12570 GE), and in The Caves of Steel it was quoted that he was built something like 3,000 years after the founding of New York. Another thought. Cbing01 19:16, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It is amusing to note that, where it anyone less famous than George Lucas, people might say Coruscant was plagerised from Trantor, rather than using such a kind word as 'borrowed'.
