I agree with you on Sullust, but not on Ithor. See, the Ithorians make a point of never allowing anybody onto the surface of their world.
It's sacred to then, see.

i think it does have an atmosphere, in jtl, its got cluds, and cities identical to coruscant. so theres a possible atmosphere.

this can be a planet for the force ranking system. the top councelors in the ranking system have access to the planet, and i dont see why the other jedi's cant consult the origional master, yoda himself. yoda doesnt have to teach the other jedi, but he can still help him in many ways.
hoth
since its inhabited by the rebelion, the imp players can plan put assults against the planet, and the rebels have the job to secure the echo base, and fight off the resistance. imagine how crazy that would be.

That is true about coruscant, but that is the whole point of an expansion...it EXPANDS the game. If you didn't knowtice, JTL added SPACE...which is a little different from normal ground stuff....
but yeah, sarcasm aside, I the addistion of Coruscant or even Nar Shadaa would be really cool. It would add"urbanwilderness" to the playing field. The game engine would have to be tweeked of course, but that is really not a big deal comparatively. The problem would lie in the planets design. How do you create a multi-level place as big as a planet? it would be crazy...The devs would probably have to develop a some sort of random generator just to create the damn thing. But i think that this would definitly be expansion worthy. To be quite honest...somthing about running around in the wilderness of some planet just doesn't scream "Star Wars" to me. I think thiswould add that "lived in" feeling that brought the movies such praise. What could be cooler than having a gun fight in some seedy club in the depths of Nar Shadaa?
And of course...if you add nar shadaa you must add Nal Hutta..."The Glourious Jewel" would make a crazy planet to explore.
what else...
Vehicle combat has been mentioned, it would be great to mount a laser canon on the hood of my speeder. And of course atmosphereic flight is a must...but again, they would have to tweek the game engine majorly for it to work.
well...thats my two cents...

If the next expansion did nothing but move the master mission somewhere else, or make alternate master paths to allow for consentual PvP, and made kessel PvP again, i would pay 50 dollars for it lol.

I'd like to see Bespin and Hoth as planets. Something I really want is space stations and Imperial Star Destroyers that can be landed on. Think of an Imperial Star Destroy as a player city and the only way to access it is by space and then you can get off your ship and walk around, have living quarters there, ect..I see the star destroyers as like the space equivalent of ground bases for pvp. When I think space stations I think of outer rim territories, smugglers, illegal goods and all that fun stuff. Dock your ship in space for repairs then stroll around the station, get some beer and try not to get into a bar fight.

No. In JtL it may have clouds, but if you look at the Kessel data here (http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/kessel/?id=eu) then you'll find that other than its spice mines, it's a pretty barren, desolate world.

No. Yoda said Luke (then hinted at Leia) is their last hope. Not some n00b Jedi gank squads. Before Luke came, Yoda had had no contact with Jedi since (I assume) the fall of the Old Republic.
No. Star Wars: Battlefront has thisexact scenarioshould you wish to play it out.

I think the next expansion should take us into either the Shadows of the Empire timeline or ESB era.
Planets you'll need are Hoth and Degobagh with space sectors for each.
For Hoth there should be some kind of a climate penalty. Tailors make cold weather gear and we should be forced to use it. If you want to run around on Hoth, at night, in your hawtpants then your need to get hit with a cold DOT that will have you dead in seconds. And there should still be a cold DOT at night that not only effects you but your gear and vehicles as well. This will add a bit of realism. And with Hoth comes some new content, a storyline progressions, new vehicles (snowspeeder, player driven AT-STs, and pet AT-ATs), new mounts Taun Tauns, secret underground player bases, and much much more. Hell...the expansion could be Hoth all by itself.
Rather than new weapons I'd like to see holsters and scabards for the ones we have already.
Highly customizable pods are a must. Hell, even make it a profession but it the races would have to be twitch based.
For JTL I'd like to see player ship to ship boarding and.or being able to have people on multi-player ships launch in their fighters. And also how about opening up the space stations. throw in some vendors and cantinas and so on. Or better yet, have player space stations.
And all of the species should be opened up with a one time chance to change your species and keep your stats and stuff.

I dont think new planets would be the best idea... I mean people are too widely spread as it is, esp now wilth the 10 space sections. Many of the planets are very empty, i met 5 people on tantoine yesterday on lowca... thats pretty weird, tantoine is a market type planet, and its completely empty... ?!
If they were going to put new planets in, creating a planet where you need oxygen or some sort of resource to survive on it, and if it runs out then... well you die i guess...
Im not a hardcore starwars fan, so i dont know if there is something in the whole plot of it where all the planets have oxygen on them anyway
But i also have noticed that alot of people are talking about leaving due to numerous different MMOs being released, such as WOW, and EQ2... Surely this will make the servers even more widley spread 
A proper community would be great in the game, but if things are only going to get more widley spread then its going to take alot of fun out of the game for some people...
Just my opinion tho

A sound and music expansion would be nice, although it could be possible with just free patches over a long period of time I suppose.
Maybe add voices to NPC's such as things are currently with EQ2 and, boy, do we need some more music. Shift in timeline would be nice too.
