    If something never had something unpeaceful, then it's jarringly unnatural and thus worser than evil. Alderaan was lucky to not be a victim of such an alienating concept.
    A shame such a beautiful and carefree planet had to be snuffed out, while slobbering and sinful Coruscant still lives despite every attempt to snuff it out too.

      I think telling the star wars galaxy humanities history of earth, the innovation that it went through, the challenge, the endless bloodshed, military genius and changes as the times changed. Media and literature especially. I think it would be something to ground them and use as a base for a lot of things.

Now, time is running out as few are left to face the enemy. For those that remain, there is but one choice. We must fight-to victory, or death-for the Republic!
    While the sacrifices are heavy, we fight knowing that a single spark of courage can ignite the fires of hope, and restore peace across the galaxy.

    The Cold War between the Republic and the Sith Empire brought entire worlds into a very dangerous situation where many of them went into civil wars, and in fact the Great Galactic War is very similar to the Clone Wars as several hundreds of thousands of planets loyalists were tested and led to many civil wars.

    To be fair during that 100 years of bloody conflict, darkness and destruction that encompasses rhe great galactic war, cold war and war against the eternal empire, a lot of planets in the star wars galaxy didn't get a break like Aldereen and suffered many dark decades of civil war, oppressive rule or renewed warfare on or around them, that left them devastated before the eternal empire invasion added to their turmoil.
