2) Yavin 4
Despite it claiming otherwise, I’m not entirely convinced that the Rebel Alliance’s war with the Empire is as one-sided as we’ve always been led to believe. Sure, the old stooge Palpatine has an artificial, laser-spewing moon, galactic army and Sith apprentice at his disposal, but boy does the Alliance seem to rebound suspiciously quickly, following each and every defeat by its hand.
I mean, are we sure that it’s not the supposed protagonists of the series that own the majority of the galaxy by the events of the original trilogy? It most certainly seems that way. Dantooine, Hoth, Crait and Yavin 4 have all, at one point or another served as the headquarters for Leia’s loyal army, each one home to a sprawling base filled to the brim with aircraft, soldiers and building-sized transports. The assets of a financially-deprived resistance, the Rebel Alliance most certainly is not.
Hoth, of course, is the most well known and iconic of the aforementioned locations, followed closely by Yavin 4: the small moon that serves as a launch pad for the Rebel’s assault on the Death Star in A New Hope. Unlike the icy abode that it flees to in Empire, though, the Rebels don’t do battle with Imperial forces on the satellite’s surface, an occlusion that I’d love to see rectified in Battlefront II.
