The planet was mentioned in "A Man Alone".

Alderaan exists in the Star Trek Universe too...
- Thread starter Unimatrix Q
- Start date
It's still in DS9, which is what Unimatrix is talking about.
Look at what subforum you're in and what episode they mentioned.

Totally irrelevant since Okuda would replace that with Aldebaran also. “Alderaan” is an out-of-continuity in-joke, nothing more.
They didn't replace the R2-D2 and C-3PO references in Season 1 remastered.
Stop taking things so seriously.
The thread title and the initial post are phrased quite seriously, so we must put a serious stop to that immediately, and that goes for the droids, too.
Let people have fun.
Dip into your sense of humor. I know you have one.
You don’t see the fun in trying to end a thread before it begins?
Was not.
In-jokes and references like that happened on occasion on panels and lists like that, since they had to fill it with something and didn't expect anybody to ever be able to actually read what they had written, due to the screen resolutions of television back then.
The woman from the 20th century who appeared in TNG "The Neutral Zone" had, according to the family Troi showed her, descendants named "Kermit T. Frog" and "Miss Piggy"

So if we take that for evidence we'd also have to say the Muppets are an alien race in Star Trek who have interbred with humans.
(those names also were replaced in the remastered version)

I see the fun in the futility of that action.
Was too. From Memory Alpha:

That’s just what it looks like at film resolution or below, but if you were to say “magnify” while on the bridge of a starship, what you’d really see is a mobile weapons platform designed by Alex Jaeger.
Of course, in-universe, folks probably would name their planets Alderaan or Tatooine, or their ships the Heart of Gold or the Millennium Falcon. I mean, why wouldn't they? Despite the best efforts of Disney, thousands of boats out there are named Minnie the Mouse, with (in)appropriate pennant art.
Space travelers and space colonists would live and breathe sci-fi in-jokes, and the evidence from the episodes so far is that Star Wars was an important sci-fi phenomenon in the Trek reality, too. Whether they would name their kids Kermit the Frog is a different issue...

No one said that you couldn’t justify it in-universe. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a Starfleet sublight interceptor stationed in Earth orbit for just such attacks, just like the Mars Defense Perimeter ships. But just as legitimate is the idea that it’s just an Easter Egg that needs no explanation. That doesn’t change the reality that it’s still the Millenium Falcon.
Maybe the Death Star sends planets to the Star Trek universe.
I can see that too. There's already a bunch of stuff in space named after science fiction authors. Once the planet names have expired copyrights and are far enough into history that people think it's classy to give planets those names, people might do it a lot.
But the Death Star idea is fun, right?
