Wasn’t there a cut scene shot with Leia communicating with the leader of the Republic?
Yeah, I mentioned that bit. I feel like that would have made the scene a lot better. Just… “Why should we care?”

We didn’t see anyone on Alderaan when it was destroyed at all. Obi Wan’s reaction and description of what he sensed does sell how awful an event it was. Star Wars has never been about getting too graphic with violence.
But we still care about it in as much as it’s the goal for our heroes for the first half of the movie.

Funny that George never had the notion to shoot Jimmy Smits in old age makeup for the SE.
Shh, someone will hear.
