Did Palpatine order the destruction of Alderaan or is Tarkin solely responsible for the genocide of an entire planet?
I bet wookpedia explains it all
1) false dichotomy2) no one would be "solely responsible" in any case3) you can't "genocide" a planet
>Grand Moff Tarkin: Perhaps she would respond to an alternative form of persuasion.>Darth Vader: What do you mean?>Grand Moff Tarkin: I think it is time we demonstrated the full power of this station. Set your course for Alderaan.It's pretty clear it was Tarkin's decision. Not that Space Satan would have had a moral objection.

>>217467384Did the Emperor not get pissed off having such a rich and probably bountiful trade planet just wiped out like that? I'd imagine this would trigger an immense economic crisis in the galaxy.
