I have a story , she said. She never said that.
My cousin was an Imperial Pilot. And she was a little Force-sensitive. She was brilliant, top of her class. So she became a TIE pilot. Served on the Death Star when she was seventeen standard, a year older than me.
My cousin wanted the credits, nothing more. What she got was tasked to protect the weapon that destroyed her family.
You see, her mother was Alderaani, and so were her cousins.
Later, Leia Organa gave us personal condolences. Because Eila Aothee destroyed her own TIE fighter. Because she was sorry.
