In an earlier version of the script, the Millennium Falcon does not land on the Death Star, but at a Cloud City that floats above the gaseous surface of the planet Alderaan. The rescue of Princess Leia and Obi-Wan Kenobi's duel with Darth Vader take place at this base, not on the Death Star. A cut in the budget for the movie forced George Lucas to bring in the Death Star early, and in the finished movie, the scenes that would have taken place in the Cloud City take place there, instead. The Cloud City, of course, was later used in L'Impero colpisce ancora (1980). Since Alderaan was destroyed in this movie, however, it obviously could not be the location of the Cloud City. So a new planet was created to house the Cloud City: Bespin.
