Line 52: The destruction of Alderaan meant that it was not depicted in subsequent ''Star Wars'' films until the series of prequel films was produced. The planet made its first on-screen appearance since 1977 in ''[[Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith]]'' (2005), when it featured briefly at the end of the film. The adopted father of Princess Leia, [[Bail Organa]] ([[Jimmy Smits]]) is seen piloting a starship to the planet's surface, which is shown as a mountainous, alpine region covered in snow. Landing his ship in a [[citadel]] among the mountains, he brings the newborn Princess Leia into his royal palace. The backdrop for these scenes was created by [[compositing]] landscape footage of [[Grindelwald]] in [[Switzerland]] with [[Computer-generated imagery\|CGI]] images of the city.<ref name=grindelwald-swissinfo>{{cite web\|last=Stephens\|first=Thomas\|title=Giving Swiss film locations some direction\|url=http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/culture/Giving_Swiss_film_locations_some_direction_.html?cid=32071506\|work=SwissInfo.ch\|accessdate=1 July 2012}}</ref> The planet is not featured in the 2016 film ''[[Rogue One\|Rogue One: A Star Wars Story]]'', but the character Bail Organa makes an appearance, stating that he will return to Alderaan to wait for his daughter, Leia, to bring the Jedi Master [[Obi-Wan Kenobi]]. This makes reference to events that immediately precede the narrative of the 1977 film, ''A New Hope''.<ref>{{cite web\|title=Databank: Bail Organa\|url=http://www.starwars.com/databank/bail-organa\|website=StarWars.com\|publisher=Lucasfilm\|accessdate=21 April 2017\|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170408195359/http://www.starwars.com/databank/bail-organa\|archivedate=8 April 2017\|language=en\|deadurl=noyes\|df=}}</ref> ===Television===
