I just realized if Tarkin delayed firing the Death Star at Alderaan for 1 hour it would have cause the biggest butterfly effect ever.

Wait why would they all be dead? Genuine question, I haven’t seen A New Hope in years.

Luke, Kenobi, Han, and Chewie all dead. Death Star plans never recovered. Leia remains imprisoned. Alliance decimated at Yavin. The empire would rule the galaxy and would have no idea how such a small timing would have changed everything.

Luke went to Alderaan to deliver the Death Star plans to the alliance leadership there. When they exit hyperspace they are the first people to find the planet destroyed. If Tarkin delayed firing the Death Star, then all the good guys would have been on the planet itself.
