"What's going on here?"
"There's been a rebellion, sir. Don't worry. The situation is under control. I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave."
"And so it is."
―Bail Organa and a clone trooper
His death:
A historical moment for the Rebellion was the signing of the Corellian Treaty in circa 2 BBY. Signed by Organa, Mothma, and Bel Iblis, the document formalized the relationship between the Corellian, Alderaanian and Chandrilan resistance forces, respectively, from a loose coalition to an organized rebellion — the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
In 0 BBY, after discovering Imperial plans to construct the Death Star, Organa sent his daughter Leia on a mission to recruit Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi for the Rebel cause. However, Leia and Obi-Wan never made it to Alderaan, and Bail Organa perished when Wilhuff Tarkin, now a Grand Moff, ordered the destruction of Alderaan using the Death Star's superlaser.
