also, "4 OT characters were beating by other" Princess Leia, C-3PO, Lando Calrissian, Jabba the Hutt, Grand Moff Tarkin thats 5, plus Bail Organa was mentioned in the OT so technically is an OT character


Good point on the young Obi. Yes, he is strictly a PT character as he was played by Ewan MacGregor. Only the older Obi is a OT character.

I dunno if Bail Organa was actually ever mentioned by name in the OT. I can't quite recall when it happened. They may have made passing reference to Leia's adoptive father, but I don't recall ever hearing the name Bail. When did it happen? Even so, he is strictly a PT character even if he was mentioned because he never had a face or identity as a character beyond being some vague reference. So I would call him strictly a PT character. It wasn't until AOTC that an actor (Jimmy Smits) actually became the character.
