What I'd really like to see are true backwater worlds that there is no "shuttle" transport to. The only way to get there would be to either fly yourself or charter another player with a multiplayer ship to fly you there.
Dagobah does come to mind.

Yup I agree... Only problem is those would have to be free content. You couldn't exactly charge people for something they might not be able to use.

Are you aware that a single SWG planet is 30% larger than the entire world of EQ? You can't look at the number of zones and say it will be easy with absolutely no consideration for the size and scope of each new zone. Can you imagine what filling those zones with content would be like? They're already struggling to get content onto the planets that are there.
I did not know that, adding one planet would be nice after they have done the combat upgrdes and stuff like that.
We should make a poll on what planet should be added.

That would be cool.

I dissagree...
The point of JTL isn't to allow us to live in space but to give us additional content. I think adding storefronts in space stations would lead to more of a 'space based' game than a ground based. Right now there's a very good mix as pilots are forced to come down to buy gear and heal etc. Remember that in the Star Wars movies (and books) there weren't really any space stations. Ships just landed on planet, etc. I don't remember any 'space stations' in any of the movies, other than the 2 Death Stars. And I don't recall any space stations, other than defense platforms, in the books either.
I do hope that they add more NPC Space missions (especially ones oriented towards smugglers) in the near future though. It would be nice if we could get missions from folks other than our trainer.

+Hoth - there are no acctual colonies here.
Why would anyone want to go there echo base is not even there yet.
Wampa hunting in Ice caves sounds fun to me. Wampas are cool.
You could allow people to build on it and have whole Ice cities with new Ice Houses. Granted, it would ruin the continuity but since when di that matter to the devs?
Tauntaun Training and hunting.
I want a tauntaun head mounted in my mall just like in Jabbas palace.
We would actually have a place to wear our snow boots and winter coats. 
It is about time for luke to start building a rebel base there anyway. and if the rebels already know where the new death star is going (as they do in JTL) why not allow the imperials to know when the new rebel base is going. Granted without walkers and snow speeders hoth probably would not be much fun.
This expansion was supposed to come out a year ago and have 5 or 6 planets added anyway. What happened to all that content? Did they just destroy it? I even remember people back in the old beta over a year ago talking about how they could land on certain asteroids and such. Did that get thrown out as well? Where is all the old content they bragged about a yeear and a half ago that was supposedly already in the expansion.
Sorry, folks, but we have given SOE too much time to get their act together already.

True, but they could do somthing like that on some planets.
