Alderaan is the planet Princess Leia calls home. Or, rather, she did call it home, until this happened:
The planet was "blowed up" (as the kids say) by Grand Moff Tarkin, using the Death Star, in a measure to coerce Princess Leia into giving up the location of the Rebels. Defeated, Leia admitted the Rebels were located on Dantooine (they weren't). Tarkin decided to blow up Alderaan anyway. You know, because it's funny. Princess Leia protested, declaring "Alderaan is peaceful--they have no weapons." Alas, we have only the Princess's word to go by, and, judging by her prowess with weapons, she may have been lying about that, too.
