In Rogue One Mon Mothma is a leader of the Rebel Alliance, but how did she attain that position?
In the final days of the Clone Wars, she pressed the Senate to remove Supreme Chancellor Palpatine’s executive powers. So it is not surprising charges were filed against her for colluding with the Jedi Order. Openly declaring her loyalty to the Empire, the charges were dropped.
Steeping herself in the Senate, she worked to bring change and reform from the inside. Working closely with Bail Organa, she became a political tutor to Princess Leia. True to her belief and hope that she can affect change from within, she rallies many to her cause against the looming autocracy until two years before the Battle of Yavin.
Finding herself at the top of the Empire’s Most Wanted list, she broadcasts a message across the HoloNet. Resigning from the Senate, she declares she will be fighting on the front lines against the Empire, asking if anyone would join her. That day the Alliance to Restore the Republic was born and the Galactic Civil War began.
