[edit] Redirecting
After one look at the What links here section, I fully believe that the page known as Alderaan should automatcally redirect to the fictional planet page, and not have a manual link at the top. Almost all the pages, if not all the pages, link to the planet, not the "disused name for [...] two pairs of stars." --Aeolien 01:07, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
[edit] Emphasis
Why does the "expanded universe" depiction of Alderaan take precedence over George Lucas' own vision of it (as depicted in two movies)? --Kafziel 16:07, 2005 Jun 30 (EST)
- Kafziel: I dont think it does. What we see in the movie doesnt necessarily contradict the EU at all.. we only see a glimps of Alderaan in the movie.. and of course any world will have a variety of looks to it. --Drachenfyre

- I agree that it's possible that the area shown wasn't representative of the entire planet, but Lucas doesn't do that very often; in the Star Wars movies, planets are the same all over. Tatooine is desert. Hoth is snow. Dagobah is swamp. Endor is forest. Coruscant is one giant city. Kamino is water.
- Is it possible that for the purposes of a particular storyline, Hoth could be said to have warm sandy beaches somewhere? Sure. But I think a lot of people would have a problem with giving beaches top billing in a description of Hoth.

- I'm certainly not saying it's imposssible for the EU and the movies to fit together, but as far as the definition in Wikipedia, shouldn't the visual description George Lucas has presented on film come before the description other writers have presented in other source materials? --Kafziel

- Nowhere does it state that the entire planet is the same throughout. Just look at Earth. If you landed in the Sahara desert, you might believe that was how all Earth might be like, but thats not the case, since Earth represents every possible configuration of climate. I believe Alderaan is the same way. The other planets are as you say, one climated. --Riffsyphon1024 22:06, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

- Which makes a certain sense, since it is the most like Earth (or an idealized Earth, anyways.). --Maru 01:30, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Breha, Queen of Alderaan
What I find more intriguing is the descriptions in the most recen visual dictionary reguarding Alderaan: Bail takes Leia Amidala Skywalker to live in the household of his wife, the Queen of Alderaan. Also: Captain Reymas Antillies is related to the Queen of Alderaan, and lastly, that this queen is seen holding Leia at the end of Episode III. Her name is Breha, and is listed as "Breha, Queen of Alderaan".
The only thing I could discern from this is the traditional Royal Family of Alderaan was 'Antillies', and that Bail married into the Royal Family and was elevated to the title of "Prince and Viceroy".
But this goes against all that I had learned earlier, for earilier it was the Organa family that had ruled for hundred of years. But it is possible, as there has been nothing until this Visual Dictionary to offer more clarity. All printed visual dictionaries and other source books are listed as legitimate Star Wars cannon, only the movies can contradict. Your thoughts on this?
I haven't edited with the new information as yet. --Drachenfyre
[edit] Disambig
I have changed this page to a disambig, as it contents were a mirror of Alderaan (Star Wars). ∞Who?¿? 05:57, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
