#Senator Bail Organa

[impossibleprincess35]

We have to talk about Bail Organa.

Because this dude has all the sauce, the rizz, the swag, the charisma, the whatever the kids are calling it these days.

Because this dude, with that hair cut and that facial hair, won over this bad bitch (and I give you both castings 'cause LOOK AT THEM):

And I just don't think we talk enough about how fucking awesome Queen Breha and Senator Bail Prestor Organa are.

Senator Amidala, Please

I find it sad that the first time we see a senator (BAIL ORGANA) being nice to our Corries on screen, it’s actually to Ahsoka. Don’t get me wrong- its nice and meaningful but. Can we not get some onscreen Corrie angst?? All we get are the emotionless brothers who shrug?!?!

“Despite what the others say, war is inevitable.”

“Yes, I agree. I must return to Alderaan to inform my people that there will be no peace. We will need every advantage."

“Your friend... the Jedi."

“He served me well during the Clone Wars and has lived in hiding since the Emperor's purge. Yes, I will send for him."

“You will need someone you can trust.”

“I would trust her with my life.” - Mon Mothma and Senator Bail Organa about Obi-Wan Kenboi and Princess Leia Organa (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story)

Obi-Wan: “Did you know that Anakin is still alive?”

Bail: “Skywalker? No way! There’s no way that Anakin Skywalker lived for twenty years without getting on at least half of the galaxy’s nerves or being the most dramatic man in the room or without fighting a ten-year-old or oh my heavens he’s Darth Vader, isn’t he?”

Leia and her emotional support droid (he’s the only thing she has left from Alderaan)

[betyoudidntcatchthat]

friendly reminder this is anakin skywalker talking to his wife’s best friend, one of only 3 people present (bail, obi wan, yoda) at the birth of his children and the death of his wife, and the eventual father of his daughter

also, he will watch as this man’s planet blows up while bail organa is on the planet…while restraining his daughter

No Order 66 AU where Anakin leaves the Order after the war ends and he and Padme end up retiring to Naboo to try to raise the twins together, but neither of them ends up feeling particularly satisfied with life on Naboo (for Anakin it just doesn't give him any purpose the way he desperately needs and for Padme it's always been this perfect rosy dream and reality doesn't measure up), so they end up leaving the twins behind a lot so they can pursue other things and are pretty absentee parents in general. They mostly end up getting raised by Padme's parents instead, and while they're perfectly good guardians for the twins and raise them kindly and love them a lot, there's always an obvious elephant in the room regarding who ISN'T there.

This causes a bit of a rift between Luke and Leia because while Luke is trying to keep the peace and give their parents the benefit of the doubt as he moves on and figures out his own life with what he DOES have, Leia is less willing to just forgive and forget.

Luke ends up becoming a pilot working for the royal palace for a while, but Leia goes into politics (something she'd entered while younger because it's what her mother did and she'd been hoping it would get Padme's attention and bring the two of them closer; it didn't work out that way at all and now Leia's sticking with it at least partly to spite Padme) as an aide for her cousin Pooja who is now Senator of Naboo.

And it's here, once she finally makes it to Coruscant and starts working in the Senate, that Leia meets Bail Organa, still working as Senator of Alderaan. The two of them click IMMEDIATELY and Bail ends up becoming Leia's mentor in politics, as well as the person who actually introduces her to the Jedi themselves. Anakin and Padme had never really bothered to do so, both because they were so rarely around, but also because they had chosen not to give Luke and Leia to the Temple and decided at that point that it would be easier to keep the twins and the Jedi separate. Bail of course has no such compunctions and even if he knew about Anakin and Padme's feelings on the matter, I imagine he'd find ways to allow Leia to accidentally bump into some of the Jedi while she was on Coruscant. If he just so happens to double book himself for lunch with both Leia and Obi-Wan, it's hardly anything malicious and they may as well all eat together!

Leia finally feels like she has a parent who gives a damn about her, someone who acts like a parent to her, the parent she's always wanted. Her grandparents had always been incredibly kind and they obviously had to do a lot of parenting, but they'd always been very strict about making sure the twins saw them as GRANDPARENTS and not their actual parents, which just make the absence of their parents that much more obvious and painful. But with Bail, she's finally got someone who doesn't care that Anakin and Padme aren't there and doesn't feel the need to create a wall between them for Anakin and Padme's sake. Bail takes her under his wing, teaches her everything she knows, allows her to explore things she'd never been allowed to explore before, connects her to even more people who can help her understand herself better than she's ever been able to before. THIS is what a parent was supposed to do for her and she knows it, THIS is what selfless love looks like from a parent and she THRIVES under it for the first time in her life.

She eventually decides not to stay on as Pooja's aide because she has no real desire to become a senator for Naboo at any point, but she IS good at politics and desperately does want to help people any way she can, so she starts up some sort of organization of her own to help people around the galaxy (and connects it to the Jedi because deep down she KNOWS she was supposed to be one of them even though that path is now closed to her). But she doesn't go back to Naboo, she doesn't make her home on her mother's home planet.

She goes to Alderaan instead. And this time, she gets to stay there for the rest of her life.

Senator Organa: Commander Fox? Fox: ... Senator Organa, after walking up to him: Commander Fox? Fox: Yes, senator? I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Fox, tossing a handful of credits at Thire later: Fine. You win. He knows who we are. Big deal. He pays attention to our armor. Thire: He's a good man, Fox. Fox: Yeah yeah. Get back to work.

I started thinking about what type of holidays Alderaan would have (if one wants to write a christmas/yule type of fic) and my favorite thought was them having a winter holiday that is very reminiscent of Icelandic christmas/yule.

I would love to say that this decisions was for aesthetic reasons or for some other deeper thought, but let's be real, my only reason for this decision was that I thought it would be really funny for Fox to experience the whole thing. Like this man is having an entirely normal day and then Bail just out of nowhere tells him that oh, by the way, we need to put a pair of shoes out on the window for the kids, because Spoonlicker is coming down from the mountain tonight. And Fox is just. the what now is coming?

[pacificwaternymph]

I see people fighting about who to ship Commander Fox with and so I propose: ALL of them.

Fox is dating Riyo AND Quinlan AND Bail AND Breha. All at the same time. Just one big massive polycule.

This Vote is Very Important

Bail: Okay, I don’t see why I need to sign these papers, I’m only interim chancellor until a new one can be elected-

Mace: Oh, don’t worry about that. Palpatine made the Jedi Order custody decision a lifetime one.

Bail: …I’m not sure that’s even legal to do temporarily?

Mace: :) yeah, really showing that Sith spirit, huh?

Bail: …is this binding? Do I need to sign these so the Jedi and clones keep getting funds?

Mace: Yes.

Bail: wtf wtf wtf omfg I don’t think I can do that, I can’t morally tie you to the republic for the rest of my life, you all have the right to leave whenever you want, especially after being abused by the last house in power.

Mace: Well, if you rewrote an agreement, in maybe, a few weeks, we could sign a new one. We can fund ourselves indefinitely but we can’t provide service to the galaxy or reparations to the clones without the money we’re owed.

Bail: Okay. Um. *pulls up a file to start outlining what a new agreement should have* Where do you want to start?

Mace: Well, around a hundred years ago, our initiates stopped receiving their stipulations when they got chosen as padawans, and only if they filed the correct documentation with the senate for formally leaving the order. So. That’s a lot of backpay I’d say.

Bail: *nearly breaks his stylus in half* …do you guys want to leave the republic after reparations are made? I’m starting to think that might be your best choice at this point.

Mace: Eh. Maybe. We might want to move to another temple, though.

Bail: *soul deep sigh* This is going to be a long list.

Mace: Sure is.
