In A New Hope, Princess Leia Organa is one of the primary leaders of the Rebellion against the Empire. The surname "Organa" suggests the word "organic," which means "related to or derived from living matter."
The Rebellion of which Princess Leia Organa is a representative has its headquarters on the verdant jungle moon, Yavin IV. The base is located in an ancient temple made of stone and covered in lush greenery – a marked contrast to the Empire's Death Star, an artificial moon made of metal, absent of anything natural. The Rebellion is in harmony with nature, while the technocratic Empire is estranged from it. Broadly speaking, one could say that the Rebellion is organic, while the Empire is inorganic.
