Raymus Antilles/Legends

Raymus Antilles is the Captain of the Alderaan Diplomatic Cruiser Tantive IV during the time of the Clone Wars. He serves the Royal Alderaan Civic Fleet under Senator Bail Organa.

 Episode III Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Raymus Antilles is a native of the peaceful Alderaan, and is related to the Queen of Alderaan, Breha Organa. He wears the iconic grey uniform of an Alderaan starship captain, and carries a target blaster.

Following the transmission of Order 66, Captain Antilles recovered a Jedi homing beacon from the ruined Jedi Temple, encountering opposition from turncoat clone troopers in the process. The beacon helped Bail locate Jedi Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Captain Antilles transported the Jedi back to Coruscant, and later ferried the weary Masters to the medical center of Polis Massa.

When Bail returned to Alderaan aboard the Tantive IV, it was in the company of droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, as well as Bail's newly-adopted child, Leia Skywalker. To preserve the truth of the girl's parentage, Bail ordered Antilles to have C-3PO's memory wiped, though R2-D2 was able to avoid this fate. In the next nineteen years, Raymus Antilles would hand over command of the Tantive IV to his son, Colton Antilles.

Behind the scenes
Lucas proposed to Denis Lawson, the actor that played Wedge Antilles in the original trilogy, to make a cameo as Raymus Antilles (as Jeremy Bulloch had a cameo as Captain Colton). However Lawson turned down the offer, and Lucas returned to his original choice, Rohan Nicol.
