Full Series In Which Kablob Goes On About Barriss Offee

I think the uproar over this arc had something to do with it.

 

Another great article Kablob

Keep telling yourself that. Fact is those who rant on the internet account for maybe 0.1% of the viewership. And the so-called Star Wars "fandom" always whines about something, it's so common that nobody gives a **** about it anymore. The uproar you talk about is in reality just a very silent background whisper.

 

Coincidence? I think not hehehe.

 

You know that outside of this website most people loved that arc, right?

 

The thing that caused it to be canceled was one, the contract with Cartoon Network had ran out. Two, the Disney buyout happened a few month later. Disney decided to end it so they could make their own show called Star Wars Rebels.

 

Disney ended it because while they had bought SW, a few peripheral things having to do with it still belonged to other parties. One of these was the distribution rights for TCW, which still belonged to Time Warner. Hence there was no way Disney could bring the showing of TCW in house to one of their own channels without incurring a lawsuit from TW, and they'd be damned if they were going to be producing content to turn a profit for a rival studio by running on one of the rival's networks. So, it got canceled.

 

Lots of people on this site loved the arc, and apparently lots of people here like Ahsoka probably more than they should.



If a US politician gained that kind of landslide popularity their detractors would start speculating if they were the Antichrist.

It's the fireworks that happened when the ardent lovers discovered that there were people who did not share their optimistic favorable appraisal of the situation arc and indeed the character, that gets seared in people's minds.

 

I loved that arc as well. I especially loved that yet another Jedi had fallen to the Dark Dide of their own free will, without the direct interference of the Sith. It proved that the Jedi Order was failing and sliding into a downward spiral.

But my favorite scene is where Barriss makes her little speech to the court and Palpatine has to keep from laughing, because everything she says is true. It's especially amusing because the Council hears her whole tirade and dismisses her as a looney. When in fact the Jedi are fighting for the Dark Side, for the Chancellor who is secretly a Sith Lord. And it's only a matter of time before he tears down the failing Republic and destroys the blind and ineffective Jedi Order.

 

Yeah, after the way the Council treated Ahsoka it's kind of nice to see them all die in ROTS.

 

little harsh but and we only saw 3 people on the council talk to Ashoka and two of them are still alive.

 

There's the one scene where Saesee Tiin automatically assumes Ahsoka is guilty because she was in the warehouse with the nano-explosives. That scene makes his death in ROTS a bit more palatable. The entire Council acts extremely blind and short-sighted in that arc. It actually makes their failure to see the Sith in the Chancellery a lot more believable. The Dark Side was clouding so much that the Council had effectively been blinded to everything, not just the hidden Sith.

 

So they deserve death then? Please. I think the Order 66 montage, and the deaths of the Jedi Council during the war are the saddest part of the PT. My favourites such as Eeth Koth, Adi Gallia, Shaak Ti, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin deserved better than that.



Ki-Adi's is the worst: he realises for a second that for a very long time, since before Naboo, the Jedi had been outplayed by the Sith. Tragic.

 

Yeah, the Jedi didn't deserve to die.

But the situation with Bariss does give some more explaination as to how they were fooled for so long by Palps- how can you expect any different if they were fooled by a padawan?

 

Mundi was about to have Yoda, commited, meanwhile they were all under the influence of the Sith spirit underneath the Jedi Temple. Kinda brings something interesting that Jinn only reached out to Yoda. But Jinn is also responsible for basically ushering in the apocalypse himself. Guess just will of the force stuff,lol.

 

I'm wondering what new insights Kablob will give us in Part 6 - Barriss v Ahsoka - it's definitely something to anticipate.

 

I like Ahsoka...but I hated the Barriss-goes-completely-bonkers arc >_>

 

A certain number of us hated the Barriss-goes-completely-bonkers arc.

My excuse was imposters.

 

My excuse is this entire thread.

 

Much love to Fallen Barriss right here. Made for a great story.

 

It could have been done better. The way they did Fives mutiny was great. Everybody thought he had gone off the deep end. They could have done something similar with Barriss. Her political viewpoints were valid but the way she went about fighting the corruption was wrong - acts of terrorism. If nothing else they could have shown her path to corruption but if they'd have done that it would have ruined the big reveal. So I'm not really sure how that could have been pulled it off any differently.

 

Is this ever going to be updated?
