This article is about the waterfalls. You may be looking for the mountain range of the same name.

The Istabith Falls were waterfalls located on the Core Worlds planet Alderaan that shared their name with the Istabith range, a mountain range on the same world. During her youth, the Alderaanian Princess Leia Organa visited the waterfalls to relax.[2]

In 3 BBY,[3] Organa returned to Alderaan's royal palace after traveling off-planet and wished to visit the Istabith Falls to refresh her state of mind. However, she was instead required to attend the reception of her parents' dinner party, souring her mood further.[2] Istabith Falls had been destroyed by 0 BBY,[1] when the rest of Alderaan was also destroyed by the Galactic Empire's Death Star battle station.[4]

Behind the scenes

Istabith Falls were mentioned in Leia, Princess of Alderaan, a 2017 young-adult novel written by Claudia Gray.[2]
