I really couldn't have asked for a better Breha Organa ❤️
I just wanted to say that I'm more than happy with Simone Kessell's performance as Breha Organa.
She did understood the asigment so well. Her Queen mode is amazing and her wife-mom mode is beautiful.
One of the scenes where I can explain it better is in this one. Where the tone in her voice is so on point.
She really mix the strong and wise tone with her tender and kind tone, getting to see the description of the books so well portrayed on screen by her is beautiful.
She may look too firm at first but at the end she's just so soft for her daughter, because she waited 10 years for a child, maybe even more, just to love her with her entire being, because this little girl is her biggest joy, not being the Queen or anything else, and Simone Kessell portrayed it so beautifully in this scene
Other scenes where she nailed the queen-wife-mom mode
Not to mention her chemistry with Jimmy Smits.
In all the content where Breha showed up before Kenobi (Princess of Alderaan, Queen's Shadow, Eclipse) Bail and Breha are described as such a beautiful couple, they understand the other so well, they support each other so much, they REALLY LOVE each other so much. Even after more than 30 years of marriage/knowing each other, they still flirt like teens and saw the other with so much love in their eyes.
Look at Bail talking with their daughter about when they were younger:
“Had to find some other adventures, started chasing your mother instead”
The teasing in Breha's words
The look of pure love in her eyes.
The “perfect understanding with no words” that Claudia Gray described
Simone Kessell did a perfect job portraying Breha Organa, the Queen of Alderaan, Leia Organa's mother and Bail's wife. And I'll beg anyone at Disney and Lucas film to get to see her again in something more
We deserve to see more of Breha Organa as her own and Simone Kessell deserves all the appreciation, recognition, respect and love for what she did here
