Warning: SPOILERS for Star Wars: Poe Dameron Annual #2

The destruction of Alderaan showed the power of the Death Star, but now the Star Wars comics show how Leia Organa eventually got revenge for her home planet in the new film trilogy.

Even if Star Wars fans don’t know the name “Alderaan,” they certainly know the planet. The first world to be totally obliterated in the Star Wars films, the act was meant to demonstrate the true evil and brutality of the Empire (and Grand Moff Tarkin’s Death Star) to keep other worlds in line. Princess Leia channeled the horror of witnessing her homeworld’s obliteration into the Rebellion against the Empire… but that wasn’t the entire story.

A part of Alderaan managed to survived the destruction – and Leia used every bit of it to support the Resistance’s war against the First Order, descendants of the Empire.

The new wrinkle to Alderaan’s place in the canon comes in Star Wars: Poe Dameron Annual #2, when the pilot and his Black Squadron are sent to recover a priceless relic for Leia (prior to the start of The Force Awakens in the movie timeline). A relic that turns out to be one of the only pieces of Alderaan that survived the first full Death Star firing: the knowledge of its people.
