A Call to Reason
A Call to Reason was a pamphlet written by Mon Mothma and the early leaders of the Alliance to Restore the Republic to counter the institutionalized Imperial propaganda that described the Rebels as pirates, murderers, and thieves. It contained detailed information on the atrocities being performed in the name of and by Emperor Palpatine. It was distributed on those worlds the Alliance felt needed a nudge to push them into alignment with the Alliance.[1]
Behind the scenes
The background of the Empire as given here is different than what established later by the Prequel trilogy. Mon Mothma speaks of the "decades of peace" between the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Empire, with Palpatine being elected President during the war but not declaring himself Emperor and exterminating the Jedi until much later.[1]
