Is there an Earth in the SW universe? And other dumb SW questions.

Even if the movie is being played on Earth and is marketed to Earthlings, that would be out of universe/canon information. To understand the reference point that is stated in the first lines, it may be best to consider who in the universe would be viewing a historical documentation.

I will agree that if one assumes Earth exists, then in that context the Earth exists.
Time is not space. You can touch things within space, I cannot poke the past with my finger.

I dunno, I feel that it is very "in-cannon" when the opening line in the film insists that its events occurred in the past in a distant place. I don't think you can interpret the opening text as a person within the Star Wars film-universe setting-- how are you supposed to do that if it's your first time viewing the film? You can only approach it as a person from the planet Earth who understands the opening text in relation to your experience of space-time.

Regarding the touching of time... that's an impossibly huge topic for a discussion like this, but I would argue that "time" is just the word we humans use for our experience of moving through space. It's not a real thing, so of course you can't touch it, unless you consider that we are constantly moving through space-time and therefore are ALWAYS touching it (you are always touching everything you have ever touched or will touch).

I wasn't saying it was a fact, and also, I thought there was less written about Coruscant, mostly it was built so high and with anything on the actual ground beath deathly ill poisons or gasses or something from years of industrialism... or something, I don't study into it well

I'm thinking the far away, heretofore unforeseen planet Earth is just glad to be far, far out of range of the banned Superweapons.
