yessss ... tell me abt ur alderaanian diaspora headcanons. personally it bothers me so deeply that most humans in the gffa speak the same language it doesnt make sense . also i have a headcanon that they have a syncretic religion with an indigenous mother goddess and the force as a dualistic set of gods of sorts and a relationship comparable to shinto and buddhism in japan

yessss okay so like the way language works in sw is obviously for the benefit of the viewer in a doylist sense but the idea that the galactic lingua franca has replaced the native language for human worlds but not (most) alien worlds?? bananas. (also having SO many worlds that are all or majority human?? likewise bananas). the implications like so much of star wars is an imperial fantasy that i feel like this barely bears elaboration but it fascinates me. i don't have a language system headcanon for alderaani because im more focused on the cultural imperialism thing. but old high alderaani could be based on medieval spanish? aesthetically?

i'm also fascinated by the way the films present the force as SIMULTANEOUSLY a) a religious concept and b) part of observable, quantifiable reality (laying aside ot vs pt distinctions -- i consider them both equal parts of lucas' vision [even though i seriously doubt the pt was in the original vision]). like?? religion means something different in this context. and since the force is an observable phenomenon and sensitivity to it seems reasonably evenly distributed, i imagine that many indigenous religious traditions would account for the force -- and that cultures that don't have a religious explanation for the force would consider it a law of physics, something like gravity -- i don't think that a religious accounting of the force is very likely to originate extrinsically? but it's a big galaxy

i read a fic years and years ago where leia has a set of what are clearly meant to be noh masks and i thought that was great. i mostly use iberian, byzantine, slavic, and art noveau references for alderaan personally so i imagine alderaani religion as more christian personally, but your vision is v cool :)

SO MY HEADCANONS:

i love the graveyard of alderaan idea from the young jedi knights ya novels -- the idea that the asteroid field where the planet used to be becomes a site of pilgrimage for alderaani, and that a lot of alderaani want to be laid to rest there

combining this with the corellian-in-exile culture on coruscant that i think comes from the x-wing books? wherein corellians who cant return because of their opposition to the empire have their ashes compressed into diamonds then set into the shapes of corellian constellations? i imagine han and leia agreeing to have their ashes compressed into diamonds but then shot into the graveyard when they die

the graveyard is also a stop on jacen's sojourn as i reimagine almost the whole thing lol

there are eventually two main settlements, the first on yavin 4 and the second on naboo. in the jedi academy trilogy the new republic just...gives luke a planet (moon)? sure that makes sense. i see the nr giving it to the alderaanian remnant, unaware of the sith/massassai history, and then the jedi order setting up there on the alderaani's invitation, which is lucky because of the whole sith possession thing (i don't hate all of jat). the organa-solos move to yavin 4 when jacen and jaina attend the academy, and winter eventually becomes a political leader in this community

the second settlement on naboo happens after the academic commission to restore the naboo archives after imperial censorship discovers enough about the circumstances about padme's death to reach out to luke and leia. leia realizes that her former senate colleague pooja is actually her cousin, and since she's at the time still the councilor-in-chief of the new republic, she pushes to use naboo's reconstruction as a model for the rest of the galaxy. after leia steps down, she's invited to lead the alderaanian remnant, which is still politically centralized. through this, she and pooja re-establish the close diplomatic relationship between alderaan and naboo, and naboo offers to expand its already-existing refugee resettlement programs in partnership with the alderaanian remnant

eventually the political goals of the yavin 4 and naboo communities become too disparate, and the alderaanian remnant decides to become a more symbolic organization, which makes leia decide to take a break from politics and do more humanitarian work within the alderaanian community, first on yavin 4. however, as the alderaani community on naboo grows, they become a true political faction, and naboo decides to make them semi-autonomous, and ask leia to be the alderaani's representative in the naboo government
