Animated Shorts Barriss Offee

Been looking through on Twitter, and this user found something interesting regarding the Jedi that Barriss was helping the Fourth Sister hunt.

Spoiler

 

Makes perfect sense.

Spoiler: Rebels spoiler

And she was in Rebels killed by inquisitorius.

 

Have the Barriss Offee deniers apologized yet?

So certain were they, that return she would not.

 

I swear if it had been one more year or two, I would've become one of them.
I can't think of any plot thread Filoni set up in any of the shows that is now finally getting addressed after an 11-year-gap. I feel most shows he's involved in have a significant character or event followed up in some form of Star Wars media in well under 10 years, usually more like 5.
Ezra and Thrawn took a good amount of time, but it was about 5 and a half years, which isn't even close to 11 years with Barriss.
I'm still waiting for Quinlan Vos. His last appearance if I recall correctly, was Dark Disciple. He's been mentioned in Vader comics and Obi-Wan Kenobi, but that's it. He's easily the most powerful Order 66 survivor whose fate is unknown.
If Barriss went up against Quinlan alone, she'd be finished.

 

Zillo Beast cloning was addressed after an 13-year-gap.

 

Apologies lead to embarrassment, embarrassment leads to shame, shame . . . leads to account self-deleting

 

So...any hope for Mar Tuuk?

....no I thought not.

 

Yeah, they didn't kill him off because they wanted to use him later. Only to not use him for 15 years.

At this rate I hope he gets his own show for some reason

 

Who?

 

Thing is why would Barris be her breaking point if she could withstand all that other stuff? If she could handle seeing the fall of the Jedi Order which would involve the betrayal by the clones and by the Republic as well as the deaths of Jedi down to even the children some of whom would be tortured and twisted into jedi hunters, Barriss wouldn't be her breaking point since Barriss had already fallen prior to all of that: Barriss had already murdered people and even framed another padawan for it. She had already become an agent of the Dark Side, hurting other Jedi.

All of the things you mentioned Luminara would ask herself about Barris, she would already have had to bear in the intervening time between Ahsoka's arc and the Martez arc. Also, the way we see Luminara with Barriss and the way Luminara is described by one of the Martez sisters, doesn't give me the impression Barriss would be her breaking point.

To me, Luminara's look of despair is not made generic by having the fall of the Jedi be its cause especially since it was gruesome especially in its early days.

 

It will be interesting to see how they characterize Barriss since the last time we saw her she had already broken and fallen to the darkside. It doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to push her into the Inquisitor role, but if we remember correctly, she was in a very ironic position: She was critiquing the corruption of the Jedi while falling to that very corruption herself.

So would she see the Inquisitors and empire as somehow not corrupt? It doesn't seem likely, but under the sway of the darkside, one's reason is easily distorted by anger and lust for power.

I think I would rather Barriss begin to see through the lies of the darkside and rebel against her captors. Then again, I also want a rematch between her and Ahsoka, which contradicts her redemption.

Then again, again, I also like the idea of Ahsoka and Barriss becoming allies again.

 

I think we will see Barriss Offee go through her dark journey and unlike Morgan Elsbeth. We will see Barriss Offee leave The Inqusitors and go into hiding like many Jedi. And as an ex Inqusitor she knows how they hunt Jedi and can easily be one step ahead. I like if she meets with Ventress first.

 

Barriss basically became a mass murderer, she did some pretty messed up things. Her becoming an inquisitor and really embracing it is not a stretch at all. I'm not sure she should get a redemption even though she likely will.

 

Neither Barriss nor Morgan deserves to be redeemed. But then again, Vader pretty much sucked and he got a big dose of redemption. If Barriss was so disillusioned by the Jedi Order, she could have always left, not blown up a civilian. And why frame Ahsoka? Barriss seems like a tool to set up Ahsoka's leaving. I find her confusing and so, not worthy of redemption.

 

I just wanna see Barriss get a very high level kill after she goes to the dark side and gets that power. Bring back Mace Windu but he’s all messed up after getting force Lightning’s and she finishes him off

That’ll get the nerds bothered

 

If anyone deserves redemption it is Barriss Offee. She was a teenager in a war and her master ignored her issues. She was a healer forced to become a soldier.

 

Who became a mass murderer and more corrupt than the institution she had an issue with. She isn't exactly a victim here.

 

Did she do something wrong and horrendous yess, but no one is beyond redemption. And she didnt become corrupt.

 

Blowing up a temple, causing the needless death of a lot of people and framing a friend is not corrupt? Your view on corruption is kind of concerning.

 

I see this through fiction and not real world. Like Darth Vader a mass murderer is redeemed.

 

I agree there. I dont think she was really corrupted any more then other jedi. She went extreme.

 

Luminara was not present at her Padawan's confession, so we don't see what her reaction was. Only ancillary media mention she was distraught and used Kashyyyk as a means to clear her mind. She would have expected Barriss to mediate and understand what she did wrong in prison (and maybe there would be a reconciliation).

But she wouldn't have guessed that the Empire repurposed her own apprentice as an Inquisitor to hunt her and other Jedi down. That is until the Red Blades come after her.

After all, many here refused to believe that Barris would have become an Inquisitor for various reasons, ranging from "She was executed during Order 66" to "Vader killed her in prison". I'm sure Luminara would have similar thoughts as well.

 

My guess is that the Fourth Sister is a former Jedi psychologist and she has been visiting Barriss before the fall of the Republic, gaining her trust, and because of that Barriss will agree to join the Empire.
