2 BILLION people on Alderaan were killed and they celebrating at the end?

Die Hard II. Plane full of people crashes killing 230 passengers and John McClane and his wife are all laughs and happiness at the ending when they are reunited?


Sum of All Fears - They blow up Baltimore with a Nuclear Weapon and I am suppose to be Happy because Ben Affleck lived in the end? And why Baltimore when it was Denver in the book?

...in Star Wars did they actually SAY there were 2B people on Alderran when it got blown up?

or was that added later when they were making things up as they went along?

folks on Alderaan.

Specifically right after it happened and Kenobi sensed it - "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened."

to fill the white American fantasy of blowing up a large city with a majority black population.

I don't think the celebration of defeating a tyrant is that inappropriate.
