Film

Attack of the Clones

Introduced in Attack of the Clones (2002), Bail is the influential senator of Alderaan. He participates in a discussion about the Separatist crisis and Count Dooku that includes Yoda and Mace Windu. Senator Palpatine suggests that Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo be put under the protection of the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi, who is training young Anakin Skywalker. After the Battle of Geonosis, Bail meets with Palpatine and other senators as the new army of clone troopers is readied to march to war.

Revenge of the Sith

In Revenge of the Sith (2005), Bail is thankful to Obi-Wan and Anakin for killing Dooku and saving Chancellor Palpatine in the Battle of Coruscant. Stumbling upon a clone trooper attack on the Jedi temple, Bail escapes to warn other Jedi that their order is under attack, saving Yoda and Obi-Wan in the process. Chancellor Palpatine reforms the democratic Republic into the Galactic Empire with himself as the Emperor. After Yoda fails to kill Palpatine in a duel, Bail manages to help the Jedi escape. He and his wife, Queen Breha, adopt Padmé's twin daughter Leia as a means to hide the child from her biological father, Anakin, who has become the Sith Lord Darth Vader.

In the 2016 prequel film Rogue One, Bail is present at a meeting of the Rebel Alliance on Yavin 4 to discuss the new Imperial superweapon, the Death Star.
