Jimmy Smits Back As Bail Organa In Obi-Wan Kenobi Rumor | Barside Buzz

According to the folks at MSW, Jimmy Smits is back as Bail Organa in Obi-Wan Kenobi. I honestly expected to hear this Obi-Wan Kenobi rumor eventually anyway, given a few details I’m aware of. However as yet I hadn’t heard anything about Smits from any sources or regular Star Wars insiders. However the outlet says that Smits was seen on set and has multiple sources telling them Smits is 100% back as Bail Organa in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Obviously until made official treat all rumors with a dose of salt handy, but this one tracks for me. Leia being in Obi-Wan Kenobi is something LRM has talked about a few times on The Cantina. The rumors we were hearing were pointing to an appearance of a child Leia in the show. How much of Leia we may see or not? That’s not something we know and have debated back and forth between us purely speculatively. However we also figured that if Leia was in the show, surely so must Smits as Organa?

It’s good to finally get a proper report that Smits is back as Bail Organa. I honestly also think there’s a chance we will see him back in Andor also, even if not in the first season? However I guess we will wait and see on that one for now.

Honestly, for a prequel to Hope and a sequel to Sith, I’d absolutely want to see Kenobi, Vader, the Lars, Bail, Leia and Luke. I just don’t want Luke and Leia to be the focus other than ultimately as MacGuffins. I never felt like we explored the Lars nearly enough, nor Bail Organa in the prequels.

What do you think of this Obi-Wan Kenobi rumor, are you happy to see Jimmy Smits back as Bail Organa? Sound off below as always.
