Would Willhuff Tarkin have spared Alderaan if Princess Leia wasn't insulting him?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

Of course not. The whole point was him making her witness the destruction of her homeworld, as an act of asserting dominance over her. Her betraying the rebels or begging him to spare the planet, would have made the destruction of Alderaan even sweeter for Tarkin. He knew that, she knew that. No need for politeness. This also was not a diplomatic setting. She was a prisoner.
