Remember when the Millennium Falcon jumped out of hyperspace and Alderaan was gone? What we now know is that the dust on the leading edge of the ship is what actually destroyed the planet, arriving just before the ship, leaving it in the middle of an "asteroid field". However, this would have been mighty embarrassing for the Rebellion, so they made up this myth of destruction by the "Death Star" (which wasn't even operational yet!) as the killer. Who do we have to prove otherwise, Leia? She's from the planet that got destroyed and head of the Rebellion; of course she'd lie to protect it (remember, she'd never consciously give it up)! Let's stop the propaganda in its tracks!
Oh, and when Kenobi felt that disturbance in the force: it was a premonition of what they were about to do, but Mr. "I've seen a lot of crazy things" didn't believe in some "force"
Reasons you fail:
1: Mon Mothma was the leader of the Rebellion, not Princess Leia. Not by a longshot.
2: Which explains why it had no huge holes in it when it nearly destroyed Yavin 4, but the Death Star 2 was missing 1/4 of it but was still operational, right?
3: Nobody on the Millennium Falcon was yet a member of the Rebellion; they would have no reason to spread this information.
4: Do you think that was the first time that somebody jumped to SlipSpace? That they weren't doing it before The Phantom Menace?
5: The Rebellion doesn't have the manpower required to spread propaganda that couldn't be blocked by the Empire.
You're still pretty funny, though.
