Early drafts of the "Star Wars" story include references to at least two planets which later evolved into the concept of Alderaan. "Star Wars" author George Lucas included a planet called Alderaan in early treatments; in "The Star Wars" (1973), "Alderaan" is a city-planet and the capital planet of the galaxy (prefiguring the planet Coruscant which later featured in the films). The draft script opens with a scene in which an "eerie blue-green" planet called "Aquilae" is threatened by an armed space fortress.
