No. Leia simply mentions "Her father", and the droids belonged to Captain Antilles.

Ironically, the novelization does mention his name.

"General Obi-wan Kenobi," the mellifluous voice was saying, "I present myself in the name of the world family of Alderaan and of the Alliance to Restore the Republic. I break your solitude at the bidding of my father, Bail Organa, Viceroy and First Chairman of the Alderaan system."



That's what I thought. I knew the name Bail Organa well before the release of the PT movies, but was pretty sure it was from some of the novelizations or just the geek in me and not from the OT movies.

Out of curiosity, who is Captain Antilles? I had always assumed it was Wedge, but I read something a few years ago that stated "Captain Antilles" was not the same person as "Wedge Antilles." Any insight?
