Bail Prestor Antilles (AU)

"I'm sure the Jedi are doing their best job to end the Clone Wars. I trust them."

- Bail Prestor Antilles to Chancellor Valorum

Bail Prestor Antilles was the senator of Alderaan and crowned prince of the Royal House of Alderaan. He became the father of Leia Antilles during the Clone Wars after his wife Breha Antilles gave birth to her three years before the Invasion of Naboo.

Naboo Crisis
Bail was disappointed that the Trade Federation managed to invade the planet of Naboo. He was later disappointed to hear that fellow senator Palpatine was the Dark Lord of the Sith known as Darth Sidious. However, the Jedi Council saved the planet but did not prevent Palpatine from escaping.

Clone Wars
Of the senators that voted for the creation of a Grand Army of the Republic, Bail was one of a few senators, along with Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, and Fang Zar, who did not approve of the creation. However, when a holographic message of Jedi Master and council member Mace Windu from Kamino informed the Jedi and senators of the Separatists' plot, it was now clear to create a clone army. The new senator of Naboo, Sio Bibble was the senator who gave Chancellor Valorum emergency powers to create the army and start the Clone Wars.

Fatherhood Years
In 35 BBY, Bail became the father of Leia Antilles. She kept her away from Coruscant and did not tell her about the Clone Wars. However, Leia snuck aboard the Tantive IV and went to Coruscant and learned about the Jedi and the War. At first, Bail was furious with her, but Yoda allowed her to join the Republic and Leia was to begin training as a Jedi Knight, despite being too old. Bail had watched over Leia's training along with Yoda. Her master Galen Marek had been considered wise, but reckless. However, Bail gained trust in Marek when a Sith Lord named Darth Vader interupted their training in an attempt to kidnap Leia. Marek had defended his padawan and forced the Sith Acolyte to retreat.

Behind the Scenes

 * Bail Prestor Antilles is once again voiced by Jimmy Smits, who gives the character more courage and a stronger character.


 * At the last second before writing the article for Bail, User:Yodakenobi originally planned in several sources to leave the last name Organa alone. But liked the idea of the character from The Phantom Menace.


 * There will be a novel series about Bail Antilles and his adventures with Galen Marek. It will reveal the new Darth Vader's identity since Annikin Starkiller (AU), Anakin Skywalker's name in the Alternate Universe was killed.
