Luke and Leia grow up... Luke works on his uncle's farm and Leia gets involved in politics. There is a civil war going on between the Empire and a Rebel Resistence. Meanwhile, the Empire works on their secret weapon, a huge battlestation that has enough power to destory a planet (Death Star). Obi-Wan chills on Tattooine.

Adoptive daughter of Bail Organa, senator of Alderaan. Royalty and repblic-eqsue titles are interchangeable in some planets. The Organa's were probably a royal family choosing to serve the republic as a representative, or the planet as a king, queen, etc.
There is also the flipside, like Naboo. The queen is elected, not appointed or inherited.

"don't act so surprised your highness you weren't on any mercy mission this time, several transmissions were beamed to this ship by rebel spies, I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you..."

the uploading of that data was basically all that mattered.

Oh, that explains it. I was thinking "wtf?" because the guy who adopted her was only a senator. Now I understand. =]

Thanks.
