I wanted a Leia story where she was depressed over Alderaan, and I hope I got the emotions right, I've never lost a planet so I'm not sure what it is like…

Gorge owns these people's likenesses I just fiddle with their realities. If he knew how much we screw with their lives…

Alderaan. It is gone. How? Bail. Everyone, Winter, and all other residents. All dead. Why? Why would the Empire do something so sickening, so violently retching? I know why. Vader is a dog, a sick corrupt dog that needs to be put down.

Later…

I know I should be happy we destroyed the Death Star; happiness just feels so foreign like I have never felt it before and never will. Even during the awards ceremony I just plastered a smile to my face. I got good at faking emotions in the senate so it wasn't hard…

I had decided to get away from the group and found Chewie sitting outside on a bench and decided to join him.

We sat in silence for at least ten minutes before Chewie spoke, or more accurately growled. I understood what he said because Bail had always had people over and occasionally some Wookiees so I knew a bit of Shyriiwook. He said [Are you sad over Alderaan?]

"Yes. I feel so bad about having caused all of those people to be murdered."

[It wasn't you that caused those deaths. Those monsters Tarkin and Vader were the ones that killed them. You didn't activate that laser.]

"It was because of me they activated it, so it was my fault."

[You can't blame yourself for everything and you can't bottle everything up. I myself feel guilty about not beeing home for Mala and Lumpy, my wife and son.]

"I had no clue you were married much less had a child."

[He is young, well for our species, but Han flies over to Kashyyyk every year and we spend awile with them. Han is part of the faily and the tribe now ao he has learned to be fluent in Shryiiwook.]

"Han is good at something? I'd like to see that myself." I said laughing for the first real time since Alderaan .
