[edit] Biography
He served on the Internal Activities Committee (which he chaired for the last few years of his tenure) of the Galactic Senate. He also chaired the Core faction of senators, and had two aides, during the last days of his service: Liana Merian and Agrippa Aldrete, both indigenous to Alderaan. Antilles, in his role as Internal Activities chairman, informed Supreme Chancellor Finis Valorum of charges of corruption filed against him after the Eriadu Trade Summit, and represented the prosecution in the subsequent Supreme Court inquiry.
After Valorum was removed from office via a vote of no confidence, Antilles was nominated to succeed Valorum in the following election. He lost the election, and resigned from the Senate shortly afterwards.
He accompanied his successor, Bail Prestor Organa, to the retirement ceremony of Horox Ryyder.
[edit] Legacy
After his death, Antilles would be remembered in the following centuries. By the time of the Sith-Imperial War, one of the members of the Galactic Alliance Triumvirate was also named Bail Antilles.
[edit] Behind the scenes
Bail Antilles was portrayed by Adrian Dunbar in The Phantom Menace, although he was originally cast in the separate role of Bail Organa. When the part was recast for Attack of the Clones, Dunbar's likeness instead became Bail Antilles. However, all his scenes were cut before the movie's release.
"Bail Antillies" was the name of Leia's father in Star Wars 2: Six Against the Galaxy.
The name Bail Antilles first appeared in the second draft to the film that would become A New Hope. He was an Aquillian Ranger, and part of the resistance against the Empire. He is present at Yavin 4 and serves as co-pilot and gunner when Luke Skywalker attacks the first Death Star. He is renamed Wedge Antilles in the fourth draft.[1]
The name was used by John Ostrander for one of the members of the Triumvirate in Star Wars Legacy 20: Indomitable, Part 1.
