Inspired by the "Favorite planet order" thread, I thought I'd ask what everyon's favorite planet, or section of a planet, is and why (Feel free to include the Leviathan, Yavin and the Star Forge itself if you like).
To get things rolling, if I'm playing a Light Side Jedi, I really like Korriban. Very tense trying to maintain Light side status all the while trying to subvert the Academy. I always feel like I should be looking over my shoulder.
The Unknown World definitely has the best views, however.
Overall, though, I like Manaan because you have to THINK your way through it for the most part. However I will say they could have found some way to have one less trip to the courtroom. After Sunry's Murder trial and the return from the Sith base, it got tedious.
Next...
Favorite Planet? (Spoiler)
My favourite planet (in terms of quests) is Manaan. It's not too easy, not too draggy. To me, Tatooine and Datooine a little too slow.
However, in terms of combat and scenary, I think the unknown planet is my vote. It has breath-taking scenary, lots of gizkas and rancors! Yeah! There is also one of my favourite battles against the Mandalorians outside the temple.. happens real fast, real quick but really fun.

In the end, everything will be alright. If it is not alright, it is not the end.
Yeah, the Unknown World has the best scenery, but for combat, nothing beats the Star Forge itself, especially Deck 2. The Sith and Dark Jedi come at you from EVERYWHERE, and it seems there's never an end to them. Like many other parts of the game, they struck a wonderful balance. They throw everything including the kitchen sink, the tub, and half the plumbing in the house at you, but somehow manage not to make it totally exasperating. In some ways, it felt like Qui-gon and Obi-wan plowing their way through all the droids at the beginning of The Phantom Menace.
I still think they could have made that sequence much much better though. I didn't like the area, very boring once you take your eye off the combat. You're just trudging along a walkway, nothing really interesting, and there is no real reasoning or pattern behind the enemies you're up against.

I found it a very refreshing change from "beat one or two groups of bad guys and you're done" that exists throughout the rest of the game.
The sequence with the room full of droids (just before the final battle with Malak) could have been improved just by making the door impossible to open/bash without defeating the droids. Since this is done elsewhere, it's difficult to see why they left this door so easy to open.
