Rogue One: Star Wars spin-off may be bringing back another familiar face

Is Bail Organa going to be in the film?

The Star Wars Celebration led to numerous big reveals about the upcoming films, not least of all confirming who will play the young Han Solo, re-introducing General Admiral Thrawn, and giving attendees their first glimpse of Darth Vader in Rogue One.

Unfortunately, for those of us at home, we were unable to see the Sith apprentice in action; instead, we were gifted with a behind the scenes look at the upcoming spin-off.

From the three minute clip (below), numerous surprising revelations came about, some more obvious than others.

However, one of those only just picked up on by eagle-eyed fans is the apparent appearance of Bail Organa, General Leia’s adopted father.

In episodes two and three, Jimmy Smits portrayed the Senator, and from the behind the scenes footage, it looks very much like he’s back for the spin-off, set between episodes three and four.

Meanwhile, a cast member from Rogue One seemingly gave away a massive spoiler from the film.
