Star Wars Tales: Some Just Did Their Job

When Luke Skywalker and his rebel allies destroyed the death star, there was great celebration. The great struggle to defeat the dreaded Empire had new hope, new heroes. The galaxy celebrated together...as one

Or did they?

Nearly 2 million people lost their lives when the death star was destroyed...and not all of them were soldiers. Men, women, boys and girls...even babies...all met their fate in the flames of the exploding sphere. Their stories, their lives, hidden from the headlines...the rebel version of what happened, never mentioning them. Who were these people, these innocents, the names never spoken...those who lost their lives when their home was destroyed by rebel forces?

For some, the Empire was home, their everything, the food on their table, the roof over their heads...and all that ended, when Skywalker made that one in a million shot.
