The Ghorman Massacre From Legends
A big moment in Star Wars history, one that we’ve never seen before, is the Ghorman Massacre. This moment is what spurs Mon Mothma to publicly call out the Emperor and helps galvanize the rebellion. In Legends, the massacre happened when Grand Moff Tarkin landed a large ship on a group of protestors. And now we know that it still happened in the Canon timeline, but it isn’t the massacre that will eventually lead to Mothma taking a public stand against the Empire. It’s an interesting way to honor the past and old EU stories, while still letting series creator Tony Gilroy and company tell their own new story. And if you don’t know anything about Star Wars lore, it just adds some extra flavor to the world.
