Breha

Breha Organa is a fictional figure in the Star Wars universe who served as the Queen of Alderaan and as the wife of Bail Organa. As queen consort, Breha helped govern Alderaan and supported the planet’s diplomatic and civic initiatives during the era surrounding the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire. She is best known in Star Wars lore as the adoptive mother of Leia Organa, who would become a central leader of the Rebel Alliance.

In canonical material, Breha is portrayed as principled and compassionate, embodying Alderaanian values such as public service and civic responsibility. Her guidance is described as shaping Leia’s upbringing on Alderaan, contributing to Leia’s sense of duty and resistance to tyranny. Breha is referenced primarily through non-film media, including novels and comics, which expand the background of the Organa family.

Breha and Bail Organa are regarded in the broader Star Wars narrative as having perished when Alderaan was destroyed by the Death Star during the battle that led to the destruction of the planet. The destruction of Alderaan and the deaths of its rulers are part of the backstory that informs Leia’s later role in the Rebel Alliance and the broader fight against the Empire. Breha’s legacy is maintained in both canonical and Legends material, where she is depicted as a capable and principled monarch who shaped one of Star Wars’ most prominent dynasties.
