Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama, Episode 2, "Points of Origin"

Well, since I'm reading Virginia Woolf (read: can't concentrate due to the obnoxious preoccupation with her own privileged class- I call it "a horizontal view and a problematic effort," and honestly, she does it in her fiction, too, read: shutthefuckupVirge), here's Episode 2 & SongBook summary. Will provide more info after I get a chance to listen to it and refresh my memory.

Points of Origin

The Tantive IV, a diplomatic ship from Alderaan, is forced to land on Ralltiir by an Imperial blockade. Princess Leia Organa is outraged, but bluffs her way past the Imperials, even using a keen knowledge of Imperial regulations to set Lord Tion, an Imperial officer, against Darth Vader, who has just arrived to crush a rebel uprising. Leia returns to Alderaan, where her father, Bail Organa, sympathizes with the rebellion but doesn't wish to take up arms. Unfortunately, Lord Tion follows Leia to Alderaan, taken enough with her to propose marriage (with a side offer of Imperial protection for Alderaan), but the meeting turns sour when Tion learns that Leia and her father have not only sympathized with the rebels, but have aided them. In an ensuing struggle, Tion takes a fatal tumble from a balcony in the royal palace, and Bail realizes that Alderaan can no longer escape involvement in intergalactic affairs. He sends Leia, once again in the Tantive IV, to the planet Toprawa to steal the plans for a top-secret Imperial superweapon mentioned by Tion before his death.
