    Giles Durane (The Weaponsmaster) says that Bail Organa saved his hide while they fought together in the Clone Wars. Smits looked a little to old to be fighting in the war.

    How if Lucas going to get out of this one. Valiento??

    It never says what the circumstances were. For all you know they were on a diplomatic mission and were shot down. Who knows.

    Old news. Anakin, Obi-Wan and Bail are all Clone Wars heroes, playing a big part in them.

    Don't you remember the line from A New Hope in which Princess Leia states that "....years ago you [General Kenobi] served my father in Clone Wars." That at least implies that Bail Organa was Kenobi's superior in a military formation, since Organa is not known to be a Jedi.

    Besides, as a comparison, Jimmy Smits is 47. As an Earth based analogy, most generals commanding brigades and divisions are in their mid-to-late 40s and early 50s. A general officer's rank is based on merit as well experience, and that more often than not comes with age. A higher ranked general is older still.

    Well, I'm guessing that Bail isn't exactly over the hill. Based on his appearance in AotC, he doesn't look much older than Smits does in r/l.

    Yeah I agree too. Now the question would be what kind of role does in play in the Clone War..

    He could be a senator turned military leader just like Garm was.. ;)

    Jades_fire:

    Jaya flirt with you?? She's 15!!

    anyway, the comic implied that Bail was a common soldier and saved the weaponsmasters life more than once

    It's a different story if she is 18 and he is 29

    guess what, most of the states in the US agree also

    Years wise I mean.Yes the US does agree. Back on topic now. This thread is useless. The question has been answered a long time ago.

    "Bail Organa fights in the Clone Wars????"

    Simple cure to your confusion: this is not a contradiction. It is not in any way shape or form a contradiction. Watch ANH. Listen very carefully to Leia's full transmission to Ben Kenobi. Repeat as needed.

    My confusion? let me restate my "confusion" so maybe you can answer:

    The comment by the weaponsmaster made it seem like Bail was a common soldier. Leia, in ANH mentions that Kenobi served "UNDER" her father, ie as a General.

    I've repeated that line now five times and it still has not cleared up my "confusion"
    ;)
