Darth Vader isn't the only character from the prequels who will appear in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". It looks like another major character will be a part of the Star Wars Anthology film, but what role will Senator Bail Organa play in the film?
It's no secret that Darth Vader will appear in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". Fans already know that the villainous mouth-breather will be a major part of the standalone film that focuses on the Rebels who stole the Death Star plans. However, Jimmy Smits has just confirmed that Leia Organa's adoptive father will also be in the movie.
Jimmy Smits Confirms Senator Bail Organa Appearance In "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story"?
Anyone who has seen the Star Wars Celebration Reel probably noticed that Jimmy Smits was on the set of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". But the actor refused to confirm that Senator Bail Organa will pop up in the new film. That is, until his recent interview with The Talk.
Jimmy Smits admitted that he will be in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" but he did not confirm whether it would be as Senator Bail Organa. "Can you say the word 'cameo'?" Smits asked during the interview. "Can you say the words 'small part'?"
It would truly be an exciting thing to see Jimmy Smits return as Senator Bail Organa in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story". It would be interesting for fans to see what Leia's adoptive father was up to before Alderaan got blown up by the Death Star in "A New Hope".
"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" is directed by Gareth Edwards and also stars Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Alan Tudyk and Ben Mendelsohn. The film will finally premiere on December 16.
