Bail was a powerful member of the Galactic Senate and for a time was the only member of the Imperial Senate to understand that the Empire and Palpatine were evil. His realization was the result of witnessing the slaughter of a young Jedi Padawan by clone troopers outside the Jedi Temple at the start of the Great Jedi Purge.
