In A New Hope, Princess Leia’s famous holographic message to Obi-Wan refers to his service to Bail Organa during the Clone Wars.

Both canon and Legends non-movie material strangely lack any direct teamwork between Kenobi and Organa during the height of the war, aside from one episode of The Clone Wars and a book whose canonicity is unclear.
