I just found this thread and have to say I love the idea of removing references to Naboo and calling the planet Alderaan. If it can be pulled off, it should be done.

But you would have to remove the end battle from TPM totally for a start. Remember Leia says "Alderaan is peaceful, we have no weapons" yet the Gungans do and Naboo have starfighters. Then there's the matter of Bail organa. Now in the PT a senator represents the planet. Palpatine is senator for Naboo then becomes chancellor and Padme then takes his place, but Bail is also a senator. There are just too many things that would need to be changed to make Naboo into Alderaan without making the PT even more conflicting with the OT than it is already

Naboo has a tiny fleet that looks more fit for a car show than a battle. By the time of ANH under the rule of the Empire they could have very well given up their fleet a long time ago. Also, I doubt Leia is considering the Gungans. The Naboo and the Gungans are more or less two countries on the same planet. When Leia says "we" have no weapons she probably isn't thinking about the Gungans.
