Summary

Here’s what got us asking “what’s the plan, Alderaan”. Maybe you’ve heard it before : “I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him on Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.” Okay but what was the plan here? And then what was the original plan before that plan? Join us as we ask the serious questions about just what was supposed to happen and what if 3PO didn’t get in the escape pod AND what if Galen Erso lived?
