Animated Shorts Barriss Offee

YesS, he was.

 

Well, I do also have a list of Order 66 survivors whose fates we're unsure about: Kelleran Beq, Taron Malicos (technically he didn't die in Fallen Order), Oppo Rancisis, Uvell, Quinlan Vos, Cal Kestis, Gungi, Reva Sevander, Selrahc Eluos, Ka-Moon Kholi, Barriss Offee, Lyn Rakish, and the human Jedi that Barriss and Lyn were after.

Though they're just names on the wall of a safe house and meant to just be easter eggs, technically we also don't know the fates of Djinn Altis, Roganda Ismaren, Nichos Marr, Valin Halycon, Ekria, Zonder, Drake Lo'gann, Tiberus Anderlock, Qu Rahn, Rahm Kota, Fable Astin, and Corwin Shelvay.

 

Another thing I just realized. Barriss’s line of “I guess you have one Jedi left” what?

Honey you were trying to kill Jedi like a year ago in a terrorist bombing.

again I think my major problem is she is redeemed in TOTE. This honestly should have been its own show.

 

I really want to see a reunion between Ahsoka and Barriss now, it would be entirely possible for Barriss to have travelled to Peridea through the galaxies over the years.

 

I highly recommend this video...

 

SWFT videos are always excellent, and this is no exception.

 

The video helped me notice the call-back to Barriss's first TCW appearance in "The Way Out". So good.

 

Her redemption was after she'd seen Lyn slaughtering the civilians and not before. The way I see it, if they were only hunting Jedi and nothing else, Barriss would've continued being the Inquisitor for the Empire. But she saw with her own eyes that Lyn went beyond their mission and just slaughtered the civilians unprovoked and she quietly said to herself, "the hell with this, this isn't want I signed up for".

Barriss had a grudge against the Jedi. That goes back to her assault on the Temple and framing Ahsoka. It's not like she didn't care for innocent people all throughout this time.

 

Barriss Offee wanted to reform the Jedi Order but went through with it in extreme ways. Like she said, she is a Jedi.

 

I get what threw people off, when she had that sinister look on her face initially dueling against Anakin as she said, "I think they suit me" about Ventress' sabers, but it still doesn't mean that she was already past the point of no return.

I'm willing to bet if he could, Dave Filoni would've easily taken out that part completely. He might've been contemplating at that point (almost a decade ago) about future plans with Barriss, but there's no way he could've predicted that he'd follow up her story with only 45 minutes of Inquisitor-turned-redemption episodes. Hence the "she was redeemed too quickly" criticisms.

 

Filoni probably has some regrets about Barriss Offee, and has now reconciled her warrior take with the healer of legends.

 

And unless I've missed it, we don't actually know what sparked Barriss' animosity towards the Jedi and their violence to begin with. When she was running around with Ahsoka in the earlier episodes of TCW, it's not like we see her having reservations on anything. That's why her motives were taken with such shock. She made a pretty bold claim at the trial in front of Palpatine.

 

It would've been awesome to see all 6 episodes of Barriss. First during the clone wars with Lyn as jedi too and learn her evolution from jedi to terrorist to inquisitor to healer. But no.... we have a quick poorly written redemption after one poorly written fall in TCW...

 

I agree with that. I'm among those that have suggested that Morgan's story really didn't need to be blown out more. We already knew she was a Dathomir witch. We knew she obviously at some point went in league with Thrawn. And we generally knew what her motives were (considering we knew what happened on Dathomir to the witches).

 

We either get 3 episodes of Barriss Offee or none. Its about telling Stories of two different characters on same path.

 

Yes only new thing we actually learned about Morgan was the she designed tie defender and maybe that she once was part of another dathomir clan for like day or two. All other events we can easily deduce from her previous appearances. The interesting part how she even became ship designer was skipped. I think it was very odd career choice for previous witch. Bounty hunter, healer, oracle, inquisitor anything really would've been more natural than ship designed.... witches are known for their engineering skills...

In Barriss story we skipped the substance. We saw her changes but not enough of her feelings. In a way Morgan story and Barriss story had opposite problems. Barriss story had key events but characters andtheir feelings were left quite blank. In Morgan story we spend time with her character and with her feelings more but skip the key events.

 

I get where you're coming from. These shorts are odd in a way that they skip ahead so much. We go from right after Order 66 to perhaps a year later to...I don't know when exactly. She looked like a full-grown adult. I do think we got some feelings though. I'll admit the last episode was more telling her last days and ultimate fate. Now, if she dies, which I believe she does, it gives us a degree of closure on Barriss.

 

The Last episode ends on a cliffhanger that either fate is possible. I still think she is alive as lightsaber wounds dont mean mutch anymore anyway and Filoni dont kill off his popular characters.

 

I'm mixed. On one hand, it would've been ridiculous to kill off Barriss after 11 years of waiting to tell more of her story and so little screen time (3 episodes that are around 15 minutes a piece), on the other it's yet another vague cliffhanger about a character and potentially another character to survive a lightsaber stabbing which is getting ridiculous.

 

In 2037 we will learn what the fate of Barriss Offee was.

 

She could just as easily show up in a future Live Action series episode; whether it's Ahsoka, Mando, or something new.
