Bail Organa (Jimmy Smits) finally found a credible "Body Double" to perform as him in front of the Imperial Senate
Just like Padme did all those years ago. I'm happy for Bail, he needs a "Body Double" to perform for him.
It's the smartest decision they could do.
Eventually, they can bring back Jimmy Smits and explain away that the new guy is his "Body Double" and kill him off while 'Bail Organa' goes into hiding.
Obviously, we know what happens to 'Bail Organa' at the end, but at least he can make a "Get Away" for a while and hide out while his double takes the heat for him.

I wish the Star Wars franchise had been called something else (like Journal of the Whills, say) instead. That way you could occasionally have a movie or series that has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of Star Warring without it feeling slightly disconnected from the franchise’s named focus.
(And maybe see some Whills.)

You mean a title that involves a learning curve? Not the best recipe for mass appeal.
There is a show made for toddlers, it seems pretty upbeat. There’s a baby Jedi Ewok.
Sure, I know. It’s just a little weird, if you think about it. I mean, imagine a show called World War II: Toddler GIs…)
Watch Startrek the next generation season 1 and 2 and the motion picture.
The starwars is a franchise about war and violence. That's is kind of its thing.
Hey, we got Hogan's Heroes out of World War II and it ran six seasons.
Well, tbh, I know it was popular, but I’ve got issues with setting a sitcom in a concentration camp.
POW camp. I know a guy who's father was shot down and placed in a POW camp. Outside of espionage hijinks, he said it was accurate to his experience. Of course that's just his experience. Others would be different. Those captured by the Japanese were treated worse as they did not follow the Geneva Convention.
You don't really think the people who made and watched the show didn't think of the issues, do you?
Let's put it this way. There are a slew of reasons why Hogan's Heroes was successful and Heil Honey I'm Home! was not.
The same can be said for M*A*S*H.
Even in 1965 TV producers were pretty self-aware. The Holocaust and the war had been over for just 20 years at that point. It was even fresher in their minds than 9/11 is for us.
Yeah. These are people who lived through the war. Some of the actors served in the US Military. Others had family who died in concentration camps. Clary was actually sent to a couple of the most notorious camps as a young French Jew and survived.
As a matter of history, POW camps were run and operated by Luftwaffe (German Air Force) officers and soldiers. That’s why Klink and Schultz wore blue tunics and greatcoats. The uniforms and historical background were authentic, despite the comedic context. Concentration camps were run by the Algemeine Schutzstapfel (SS). They were the most evil of the evil. Worse even than the Waffen SS (elite ground troops), who were also pretty bad - as evidenced by the Malmedy incident. Many of those guys joined the French Foreign Legion after the war and wound up in Vietnam, of all places, when that thing was starting to heat up while under French control.
I KNOW NOTHING!!
