Following Jimmy Smits having confirmed an appearance in Star Wars: Rogue One returning as Bail Organa, now the first image of Smits has hit the net.
Smits was actually spotted in the behind-the-scenes Star Wars: Rogue One sizzel reel, albeit a blur, but now we get a better look via US Weekly.
We see from the image that Jimmy Smits explains why the clothes of Bail Organa are rather plain looking as Bail Organa "isn't as stately as in the other episodes" because in Star Wars: Rogue One "he isn't as high up the political food chain."
The image appears to show Bail Organa with the Rebel Alliance as a Rebel soldier can be seen in the background.
