hi there! i was wondering (since you're so good at researching and finding information) if you had any ideas on where to find or knowledge about alderaan culture? i know you're primarily a prequels blog but i figured i would ask. i'm mostly interested/intrigued by their hairstyles (knowing that certain styles and braids attribute to certain events/emotions, etc) and figured it wouldn't hurt to ask. if you can't help that's fine too! thanks :)
Hi! When it comes to worldbuilding i usually start from Wookieepedia. They have all the nuggets and the sources so, imo, it’s the easiest place to start. Another way is through encyclopedias and guide/visual books but, tbh, I don’t think you will find all the information in ONE place. The only thing I remember about their “fashion/style” is this:
Obi-Wan entered the apartment and followed Organa through to the sitting area. The place was spacious. Immaculate. Possessed of a typically restrained Alderaanian elegance. Beauty mattered, but it was never ostentatious.[Karen Miller’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Wild Space]
I checked the visual guides and I could find was that Breha’s dress in ROTS was supposed to be lilac but they eventually changed it to a nature green. Maybe you’ll find more content on the OT lore since it appears the connection between Alderaan and braids only exists in Disney’s canon.Sorry, I couldn’t find more stuff :(
