I REMEMBER ALDERAAN. NEVER FORGET ALDERAAN.
IT WAS IN STAR WARS
AND NOW, A WOOKIEPEDIA ARTICLE IN CASE YOU FORGOT ALDERAAN.
“The galaxy knows Alderaan as ’the planet of beauty.’ Nature, poetry, philosophy, art, couture, cuisine—we freely share all with all.“
Bail Organa
Alderaan, located in the Core Worlds, was a terrestrial planet covered with mountains. During the waning decades of the Galactic Republic, it was ruled by Queen Breha Organa and represented in the Galactic Senate by her husband, Senator Bail Organa.
Following the rise of Sheev Palpatine’s Galactic Empire, Alderaan played a pivotal role in the establishment of the Rebel Alliance, a movement that sought to restore the Old Republic’s values. Because of its ties with the Alliance, the planet was destroyed when Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin decided to test the superlaser of the Death Star, a moon-sized battle station developed by the Empire, at full strength. SOLO A STAR WARS STORY MOVIE TRAILER SUPER BOWL AD. Among the few survivors of that disaster was Princess Leia Organa, adopted daughter of Bail and Breha Organa and heiress to the royal house of Alderaan.
Skywalker: “What’s going on?“
Solo: “Our position is correct, except…there’s no Alderaan!“
Skywalker: “What do you mean? Where is it?“
Solo: “Thats what I’m trying to tell you, kid. It ain’t there. It’s been totally blown away.“
Skywalker: “What!? How?“
Kenobi: “Destroyed. By the Empire.“

In 0 BBY, shortly before the Battle of Scarif, Senator Bail Organa headed towards Alderaan to tell their people that there would “be no peace,“ after the plans for the Death Star, a planet-killing Imperial superlaser, were discovered. The plans were later stolen from the data vault on Scarif, and transferred aboard the Tantive IV. Princess Leia of Alderaan, Bail’s adopted daughter and thus member of the Elder Houses was captured by the Imperial Navy while smuggling the plans to the Alliance base. Organa was taken prisoner by the Sith Lord Darth Vader, the Emperor’s second-in-command, and brought before the Death Star’s commanding officer, Grand Moff Wilhuff Tarkin. Under threat of destroying her planet, Leia gave a fake location of the rebel base to Tarkin, only to have Tarkin destroy Alderaan anyway, noting that Dantooine was too remote for an “effective demonstration.“ The Imperials forced the princess to witness the obliteration of her home planet, an act that Tarkin hoped would instill fear among the secessionist systems in an effort to keep them in line. The planet’s destruction left only an asteroid field behind,[2] which was blockaded by the Empire.
Almost immediately after the Battle of Yavin, Leia Organa would embark on a mission to rescue the survivors of Alderaan from Imperial reprisals following the destruction of the First Death Star.
On Coruscant, the Empire’s planetary capital, the numerous Alderaanian residents of Level 3204 began to hold vigils for those who had perished in what they called “the Disaster.“ However, as more information became available about the Empire’s role in the destruction of Alderaan, the vigils soon turned into riots, which were quickly repressed by brute force.[11] Following the Battle of Yavin, Vader then took the remains of Alderaan to serve as reminders to worlds that attempted to resist the Emperor. Following an assassination attempt on himself at Shu-Torun, Vader then gave Trios, the new Queen of that planet, one of these reminders.
