I *still* don't know who Bail Organa is, lol. They don't explain it in this movie. It's been forever since I saw the prequels (and don't care to re-live them). So I'm sitting there watching the movie trying to remember who the fuck Jimmy Smits is and why they gave him a music swell and zoom when he walked in.

It's not one of the throwbacks that bothered me, because he's on-screen for *maybe* thirty seconds and I just figure "oh he's one of the Rebel leaders" based on context clues-- but unless you remember everyone from the prequels, you don't give a shit about Jimmy Smits specifically being there, and you think (as I did) that the C3PO/R2D2 one-off joke scene is a pointless nostalgia blast.
