Bail Organa

"Bail Organa's role will be significantly expanded in Episode III and he is an 'emerging character'." - GL
Bail Organa will wear a decorative wrist-guard with blinking LEDs. - OS
Bail Organa will have several costume changes. - OS
In one scene, Padm? and Obi-Wan will join C-3PO hurrying down a starship ramp to meet Bail Organa at its base. - OS
A scene will include Obi-Wan, Anakin, Palpatine, Mace, and Bail Organa - as well as a swarm of Senators and planetary representatives, alien and human alike. - OS
A scene will feature an indoor hangar for Bail Organa and his aides. - OS
One scene shot will include Yoda walking and talking with Obi-Wan and Bail Organa. - OS
A scene will feature Bail Organa going down a corridor and he will be in a hurry. - OS
Bail Organa will have at least 3 costume changes throughout the film. The outfits are less regal and more conducive for action scenes and also blend in with the OT costumes a bit more. - TB
Bail is in a scene with Yoda in a conference room that features blinking lights and buttons that hark back to the OT settings. The scene is all dialogue and the characters are discussing crucial events of the galaxy. - OS
Bail will be in a scene on a landing platform on Coruscant that is round in shape. Bail will exchange laser fire with unseen opponents before making a quick escape in his shiny red speeder. - OS
Bail Organa will be in his speeder with wind effects adding to the atmosphere of the scene. Bail will also use his wrist comlink in the scene. - OS
Jimmy Smits and Ian McDiarmid seemed to be the actors that enjoyed wearing their costumes the most. Both have many more costumes than previous films and a number of costumes that could almost match Padm?'s wardrobe in size. - TB
We will not see anything specific about Obi-Wan serving directly for Bail Organa during the final Clone Wars, though it is understood that the handling of the war, such as it is, has fallen to the Senate. For a while, anyway. - PH
Bail Organa's speeder chase sequence (him being chased) is not as big as the Ep2 speeder chase. - PH
There is a scene in the Tantive IV's cockpit as it approaches Coruscant. Two Alderaanian crew members helm the ship. Behind them is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Bail Organa, and Yoda, with Yoda sitting between Bail and Obi-Wan. - OS
Aboard the Tantive IV, during the approach to Coruscant, the Alderaanian pilot informs Bail Organa of an incoming transmission. - OS
Bail Organa is stopped by security after having touched down the Tantive IV at the Senate landing platform. This scene has been altered to include Obi-Wan Kenobi in the shot. - OS
In one scene, there is a holographic transmission from Bail Organa to Obi-Wan Kenobi. - OS
One scene is a walk and talk between Anakin Skywalker and Bail Organa, with C-3PO and R2-D2 tagging along in the background. - OS
Bail Organa will meet with fellow dignitaries in his offices on Coruscant. Here, political notables like Senator Mon Mothma, Senator Fang Zar and Senator Padm? Amidala begin developing contingency plans in case the unthinkable happens. - OS
Pursued by Darth Sidious' agents, Bail Organa executes not only a hasty getaway, but also a midair rescue of a stranded Jedi Master. - OS
Bail has two roles; to be one of the early architects of resistance to Palpatine's regime, and to become Leia Organa's foster father. His role will be fully realized by the end of Episode III. - PH
Bail and Mon Mothma have bigger parts compared to the other Senators. - PH
Bail is married, and we will see his wife. - PH
"I am basically [Bail Organa's] assistant and bodyguard. My duty is protecting him. I will be ever at his side, especially when security matters." - CSC
Bail will have an action sequence, but no lightsaber fights. He will have a speeder and a blaster. - JS
In one scene, Palpatine leads the way as Senators and Representatives follow closely: Bail Organa, Jar Jar Binks, Orn Free Taa, Mon Mothma, Tundra Dowmeia and his new aide. Fang Zar, Giddean Danu, Mal?-Dee, Nee Alvar, Chi Eekway, Terr Taneel, and Fema Baab are there as well, along with the as-yet-unnamed Mon Calamari Senator. - OS
"I get to run around and actually do stuff this time. I don't get to touch a lightsaber, but I do come close." - JS
Obi-Wan Kenobi and Bail Organa look on with concern as medical droids fight to save the life of a comrade. - THC
"The first time we see [Padm?], it's sort of a mysterious scene where she's hiding behind pillars, waiting for Anakin to finish talking to Bail Organa." - TB

In scene 113, Bail Organa lands on the landing platform extending from the Jedi Temple's spires to find a disturbing turn of events. Clone Commander Appo reports to him a surprising development within the ranks of the Jedi order. - OS

Senator Bail Organa worries about the fate of the Galactic Republic during a debate in the Senate chamber. - Insider #80
