Lan (Human)

Lan was a Human male from the planet Alderaan. The day before Alderaan was destroyed by the Galactic Empire's first Death Star, Lan went to Alderaan's sister planet Delaya with his brothers, Mazi and Jez, to watch a smashball tournament. Following his homeworld's destruction, Lan and his brothers resorted to thievery in order to survive. They tried to rob Princess Leia Organa, who was visiting Delaya to help the Alderaanian refugee efforts, but were dissuaded by Ferus Olin, a former Jedi. When Organa was captured by a rogue Alderaanian faction that blamed her for their world's demise, it was Lan's brother Mazi who told Organa's companions where the faction's hideout was. After Organa was rescued, Lan and his friends decided to join the Rebel Alliance as soldiers.
