| | ST-v-SW.Net :: The Alderaan Shield Fallacy |
 | | One of the events replaced was the Alderaan destruction scene, and the original effect was thus excised from the canon. |
 | | Well, the rest of the Alderaan evidence is consistent with simple cloud illumination and contrary to the shield hypothesis, which means that even if we accepted this concept it would contradict the rest of the evidence. |
 | | Further, given that Alderaan did not demonstrate a planetary shield (and that most of the objections actually serve to help disprove the concept of a planetary shield), it would seem, judging by Vader's comment, that there is no full-scale planetary shielding anywhere in the Empire. |
