An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Return was a ritual undertaken by Alderaanians to pay their respects to loved ones who had been killed in the destruction of Alderaan. They returned to the Graveyard, launching gifts for the departed into the Graveyard and giving a speech. The Return developed into a major cultural touchstone for Alderaanian survivors, with many describing it as a transcendent, life-changing moment. The procedure became fairly codified as more people undertook it, resulting in the speech and ritual feeling somewhat impersonal to some Returnees. An industry developed around it catering to Alderaanians, and thieves frequently retrieved the gifts from the Graveyard.
