Who does Obiwan take orders from?

In ANH, princess Leia indicates that Obiwan faught for her father during the Clone wars. Will we see Obiwan taking orders from Bail Organa in EPIII?

It just seems odd for the military to take orders from a specific senator.... thats why i always felt it would make the most sense for bail organa to be some sort of high ranking republic military officer.

I hope we somehow see that obiwan takes orders from bail in EPIII, otherwise there could be a continuity problem

Well, duuuuuh, Leia said to Obiwan in EI that (when talking in the hologram) "...you served under my father in the clone wars..." .

Obviously he's going to serve under Bail.

we do need to see it, because there is no reason thus far to beleive the statement even has the possibility to be true.

Correct, remember the wars have been raging for 3 years when EP3 arrives, so whos to say Bali hasnt given OB1 orders during that unseen time.

Also, you have to stop mistaking the Republic for a unified entitiy- it is a coming together of Sovereign worlds, more like the UN than a single country. This is why it doesn't have a single army for most of its history, the closest being the Jedi (who, incidentally, were at one point in the design stage for TPM decked out in UN peacekeeper style uniform).

So this is not like a US Senator ordering a US General. When Palpatine uses emrgency measures to create a Republican army- based, obviously, on the Clones- in AOTC, they would be looking for all sorts of talented people for high command. Bail may represent Alderan at the Senate but that in no way de-bars him from taking military rank under these circumstances.

Alternatively, Obi-Wan may not be taking ORDERS, as such, but powerful politicians like Bail may be, under Palpatine, directing the war effort, in which case Obi-Wan might be one of the Generals responsible for carrying out Bail's objectives- wars are run by politicians, after all.

I would think obiwan would take orders from the council, who, in turn takes orders from palpatine. From watching AOTC, there is no reason to thik Bail Organa is obiwans superior.

Well, no, but the wars have not started yet at that point so AOTC is no good as refernece.

I believe that the JC assign Jedis to tasks where they might have to serve under the likes of Bail Organa.
Like in TPM, QGJ and Obi was acting on behalf of the Supreme Chancellor

I've seen a small picture (here on this forum, I think) where Bail wears some kind of militar uniform, very similar to the ones used by Imperials officers... Maybe we'll see some kind of evolution of Bail from senator to some figure inside military ranks

fighting for someone does not necesarily mean taking orders, it could be just defending the territory.
