The ship Bail Organa [Jimmy Smits] uses at the end of "Sith" is the ship Leia is fleeing from the Star Destroyer on at the beginning of the original "Star Wars". Organa turns both R2D2 and C3PO over to the ship's Capatain, with an instruction to wipe C3PO's memory banks. Both droids are on the ship when Vader takes it, and flee in an escape pod with Leia's message to Kenobi.
Jimmy Smits? Jimmy freakin' SMITS is in this?
Please tell me you're joking.
